AI framing · Before POC

Before launching an AI POC, check that the problem, mandate and budget really exist.

Robinswood helps SME and mid-market leaders turn a vague AI idea into a framed decision: business constraint, sponsor, data, risks, budget and realistic sequence.

  • formulation of the business constraint to solve;
  • qualification of mandate, decision-makers and budget;
  • map of data, tools and risks;

30 minutes

First goal: decide whether a POC deserves to exist.

In 30 minutes, we check constraint, sponsor, data, budget and risk. If the POC is premature, we say so.

Fast qualification

  • Human reply within 24–48 business hours
  • No tool selling before diagnosis
  • Short form, enough context
Initial response within 24–48 business hours
No automated sales follow-up after the form
Not an ERP, RPA or n8n reseller

Fit filter

This page filters AI projects with potential sponsor, constraint and budget.

Identifiable sponsor: leader, CFO, CIO, operations director or mandated prescriber.
Realistic budget: 5k€ paid wall for framing, 30k€ minimum POC if go is confirmed.
Observable business constraint: delay, quality, re-entry, centralized decision, compliance or adoption.
Arbitration capacity: accept a POC no-go if flows or data are not ready.

Qualify your AI project before POC

Describe the idea, mandate, expected budget and business blockage: we reply within 24–48 business hours with a first framing view.

Request AI project framing

5 fields. Goal: decide whether the topic deserves a diagnosis, a POC or no AI initiative for now.

Initial response within 24 to 48 business hours
If qualified, we suggest a 45-minute Flow Review.
Data is used to process the request. The four notes are only sent with explicit opt-in.

Framing is useful if

  • an AI POC is considered but the expected gain remains unclear;
  • several teams ask for AI without shared arbitration;
  • IT, operations and leadership do not share the same priority;
  • data or responsibilities are not clear enough to automate;
  • budget exists, but no one knows which first step to fund.

What the framing produces

  • formulation of the business constraint to solve;
  • qualification of mandate, decision-makers and budget;
  • map of data, tools and risks;
  • POC go/no-go decision with a 30–90 day sequence.

Best fit

  • SME and mid-market leaders before budget commitment;
  • CFOs, CIOs or operations leaders who want to avoid a gadget POC;
  • prescribers with an identified client, mandate and budget to confirm.

Preuve terrain

Good framing separates AI curiosity from a fundable project

In a B2B organization, framing showed the expected AI use was not the priority: the real constraint was validation flow and upstream data quality. The POC was postponed, the decision flow fixed, then AI introduced only on stabilized steps.
