AI-powered process intelligence

Prove what's worth automating, before you build it.

Ops Appr[AI]ser diagnoses your processes, finds what's broken, and proves what's worth fixing — turning a four-to-eight week assessment into minutes, with a business case a sponsor can actually sign.

Not another AI wrapper — a proven methodology, made faster with AI.

The problem

Everyone wants to automate. Almost no one does it right.

95%

of gen-AI pilots fail to deliver measurable P&L impact

— MIT

70%

of all transformation projects fail to deliver value

— McKinsey

4–8 wks

average time to complete a single manual assessment cycle

— Industry average

Is this process even suitable?

Wrong processes get picked, and nobody finds out until six figures are gone.

Which approach — RPA, AI, hybrid?

Teams choose with no framework, then wonder why it fails at implementation.

Is it actually worth it?

Hand-built Excel cases rarely survive the first hard question from a sponsor.

How it works

From process description to GO/NO-GO — in minutes.

Five stages, one workflow. Upload what you already have and the platform carries it through to a signed-off business case.

1

Smart input

Upload SOPs, transcripts or PDDs, or paste raw text. AI extracts every process field.

2

Assessment

Five deterministic engines score feasibility, readiness, complexity, risk and lean waste.

3

Business case

Full cost-benefit analysis across 20+ benefit categories, with NPV, IRR and payback.

4

Portfolio

Nine-quadrant prioritisation matrix with smart ranking across every assessed process.

5

Export

PDF assessment report and Excel business case, ready for sign-off.

Portfolio

Every candidate process, ranked and ruled on.

Nine quadrants across feasibility and readiness, so a backlog of candidate processes becomes an ordered plan. Quick wins surface immediately; the ones that need work before automating are flagged rather than quietly dropped.

  • Verdict, score and archetype on every process
  • Portfolio-level NPV and year-one savings at a glance
  • Rank by score or by financial return

Portfolio dashboard — nine-quadrant prioritisation matrix.

Business case

A financial case that survives scrutiny.

NPV, ROI, IRR and break-even, calculated from fixed formulas rather than assembled by hand. Every assumption is visible and editable, so a reviewer can challenge the inputs instead of arguing with a black box.

  • 20+ benefit categories, not just FTE reduction
  • Five-year cash flow and cumulative NPV
  • Side-by-side comparison across automation vendors

Cost-benefit analysis with five-year cash flow.

Why it holds up

Deterministic engines for the maths. AI for the judgement calls.

The scoring formulas come from more than twenty years of automation delivery and they don't move. The same inputs produce the same score every time — auditable, repeatable, no black box.

What AI does is read the unstructured material nobody wants to read: SOPs, discovery transcripts, process definition documents. It proposes the assumptions a human would otherwise guess at, and marks every value it inferred so you know exactly what to check.

Who it's for

One platform, three kinds of team.

Enterprise ops & CoE teams

Standardise assessment across the organisation and retire the ad-hoc Excel models. One method, one evidence trail, every process.

Transformation consultancies

A repeatable discovery method you can run on every client engagement — the same rigour and the same deliverable, every time.

Automation vendors

Replace the FTE spreadsheet your customers get today with a real assessment — 20+ benefit categories and process-level recommendations, white-labelled as yours.
