Sample delivery plan / Assessment example

From systems review
to a build plan.

A fictional supplier-operations assessment showing the report you could receive after a two-hour walkthrough of one team's work and systems. It illustrates the deliverable, not a completed client engagement or a working system.

The sample assumes a team uses email, document folders and a supplier register. The £499 assessment includes preparation, agreed sample review, the working session, a practical report and a short follow-up call. Findings, savings estimates and prices depend on your evidence.

01 / Systems and current workflows

Follow the work across the team.

  1. Email: agreements and supplier questions arrive in a shared inbox.
  2. Document folders: people save agreements and search for supporting records.
  3. Supplier register: people copy key dates, assign owners and track upcoming reviews.
  4. Review preparation: the owner gathers documents and chases missing information.
  5. Decision and follow-up: a manager checks the evidence, records the decision and approves any supplier message.

Walkthrough evidence: agreed sample files, task frequency, time spent, system access and named reviewers. The report records what is confirmed and what still needs checking.

02 / Problems and evidence

Find the repeated effort.

  • Missing owners or source links cause repeated chasing.
  • Review information is assembled from several places each time.
  • Manually copied terms can become detached from the original agreement.

These are fictional findings. Before estimating a saving, measure the frequency and current handling time for each task, then allow for the review and exceptions that remain. No time saving has been measured in this example.

03 / AI, automation and people

Give each part the right job.

AI: prepare candidates

Extract candidate terms and draft summaries with source references. Test representative documents and keep uncertainty visible.

Automation: organise the routine

Use fixed rules to flag missing fields and route confirmed review dates to the right owner.

People: verify and decide

People verify terms, confirm deadlines, make supplier decisions and approve external messages.

If records lack owners or confirmed dates, organise them first using the free register template. That improvement may need no build.

04 / Prioritised opportunities

Choose each workflow on its merits.

This fictional review identifies three suitable opportunities. An actual report prioritises the strongest three to five where the evidence supports them. Prices below illustrate the published scope bands; they are not quotations or client results.

1. Missing-records check

Illustrative build price: £995. A simple workflow reads one clean register and produces an internal list of missing owners, dates and source links.

Needs: one agreed file format, required-field rules and a named reviewer. No source records are changed.

Saving to estimate: time spent checking the register, less reviewing the exception list. Baseline not yet measured.

Delivery: schedule after validating the sample; the agreed test checks the list against known missing fields.

Ongoing cost: client-run after handover, or optional basic care at £150-£250/month. Any software cost is confirmed before agreement.

2. Supplier review queue

Illustrative build price: £1,500-£3,000. A connected workflow brings confirmed register entries and document links into one review queue, with internal owner reminders.

Needs: supported connections, agreed access, reliable dates and named owners. Supplier messages remain outside scope.

Saving to estimate: collation and chasing time, less the owner's review. Baseline not yet measured.

Delivery: schedule after access checks, including an agreed trial review cycle before handover.

Ongoing cost: software separately confirmed; optional basic care at £150-£250/month if the agreed scope fits.

3. Candidate-term extraction

Illustrative pricing approach: individually quoted. A bespoke workflow extracts candidate dates and terms with source references for human verification.

Needs: representative agreements, permitted document access, agreed accuracy checks and a reviewer. Legal interpretation is excluded.

Saving to estimate: manual extraction time, less verification and correction. Sample testing must establish whether it saves time.

Delivery: scope and timing follow a successful sample test; proceed only if the evidence supports a useful build.

Ongoing cost: AI usage, software and support individually scoped before commitment.

05 / Build decision and handover

A price for the work you choose.

Each proposed build has an agreed output, exclusions, dependencies, acceptance checks, delivery timing and fixed price before work starts. If several workflows share connections or setup, the combined quote reflects that saving.

Builds include testing, documentation, handover and the first 30 days of fixes against the accepted specification. New requests are separately scoped. Basic care agrees the checks, response window and repair allowance; active improvement work starts at £750/month with its scope agreed separately.

The £499 assessment is optional and stands alone. It does not include software or an automatic full credit against a build. Reusable discovery work is reflected in the build estimate, so the same work is not charged twice. You can use the report without commissioning further work.

Do you work with Xero / QuickBooks / Sage?

We start with your current tools. We confirm suitable connections, access and file hand-offs before agreeing a build. The Xero example does not establish support for every accounting platform.

Is it safe? Who approves?

Payments, supplier decisions and customer replies stay under human approval. We agree the inputs, secure sharing method, access permissions and responsibilities before work starts. Use only a brief description in the public enquiry form. Do not send confidential records. See our privacy policy for website data handling.

Is my business too small?

Sometimes AI is not worth it yet. If the process is unclear, automating it makes it faster and worse, and we will tell you so. Try the readiness check.
