WHERE WE START
A clear business problem.
AI projects need a specific job, reliable inputs and a person accountable for the output. Activ-8 helps businesses find useful applications, test a small working version and integrate it into an existing process.
This could be useful when:
- Staff repeatedly copy information between systems.
- Useful knowledge is spread across documents and inboxes.
- Enquiries or follow-ups wait for manual preparation.
- Teams have AI subscriptions but limited everyday adoption.
POTENTIAL PROJECT SCOPE
What the work can cover.
The proposal defines the specific deliverables, responsibilities and costs for your engagement.
A bounded pilot
Test one workflow using agreed examples and acceptance criteria. Compare accuracy, review time and operating cost before expanding its use.
Connected workflows
Plan the connection between the assistant, CRM, knowledge sources and reporting tools. Set access permissions and clear handoffs to people.
Adoption and oversight
Document how the workflow should be used, what staff must check and who maintains it. Train the people responsible for operating it.
A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATION
Come with the context.
Bring 1 or 2 repetitive tasks, the tools involved and representative examples you are authorised to share. We will agree access and data handling before connecting production systems.
Measures we could agree
- Time per completed task, including review
- Accuracy on representative examples
- Exceptions requiring human attention
- Running costs and staff adoption
Measures and targets depend on your starting point. We agree the baseline and review method as part of the scope.
HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES
From the initial review to delivery.
Choose a workflow and acceptance tests
Describe the task from input to output, including the exceptions a person handles today. Agree representative test examples, the acceptable error rate and who reviews the result. Check data access and software permissions before choosing tools or committing to a build.
Build and test a bounded pilot
Connect the minimum systems needed to test the task. Run normal and difficult examples, record failures and compare the full effort with the existing process. Include the time people spend checking and correcting output when judging whether the pilot is useful.
Release with an accountable owner
Agree a staged release, monitoring and a way to pause the workflow. Train the staff who will use it and document what happens when a connection fails or a result needs review. Expansion follows evidence from the pilot and a separately agreed scope.
BUDGET AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Agree the investment and the handover.
What affects the budget?
The form asks for the total project budget. Scoping separates discovery, configuration or development, testing and handover from recurring software, API usage and maintenance. Integration access, data quality, the number of systems and the level of human review all affect delivery effort.
What your team takes forward
The handover can include a workflow map, test results, access responsibilities and operating instructions. Agree who pays for subscriptions, who owns the accounts and who fixes issues after delivery. Any continuing support is defined separately in the proposal.

USEFUL QUESTIONS
Before you enquire.
Which AI tools do you work with?
Tool selection follows the use case, your existing systems and the access available. The proposed stack is agreed during scoping, including licensing and any specialist development requirements.
Can AI be connected to our CRM?
Often, subject to the CRM's supported integrations, permissions and data quality. We first map the fields and the action to be taken, then test the connection before live use.
How are AI mistakes handled?
We define test cases, review points and an escalation route. Decisions with material consequences should have appropriate human approval, and the workflow needs a safe way to stop or revert.
