It is a focused, fixed-scope engagement that identifies where AI can create measurable value in your business before you commit to new tools, vendors, or full-time AI talent. NextWave reviews your workflows, systems, data, and priorities with your leadership team, ranks opportunities by value and feasibility, builds preliminary ROI models for the leading opportunities, and sets out a phased implementation roadmap. ### Who is the assessment designed for? Leaders of established mid-market organizations, generally 100 to 499 employees, in manufacturing and industrial businesses, distribution and logistics, business and professional services, multi-location service organizations, and other operationally complex B2B companies. We also work with companies of 50 to 99 employees that are funded, operationally complex, or have a strong executive sponsor, and with focused business units or initiatives inside larger organizations. ### What does the assessment deliver? An AI readiness and current-state profile, a workflow and systems opportunity map, a prioritized use-case portfolio, a value-versus-feasibility matrix, preliminary ROI models for up to three opportunities, a risk and dependency register, a 90-day action plan and 12-month roadmap, and an executive readout with recommended next decisions. ### How long does the assessment take? Three to four weeks from kickoff to executive readout. The exact timeline depends on the scope agreed at the start and on how quickly stakeholders and information are available. ### Do we need clean data or an AI strategy before starting? No. Most organizations begin without a formal AI strategy, and data readiness is one of the things the assessment evaluates. We work from the systems, documents, and people you already have, and we identify the data each opportunity would depend on. ### Are you tied to any software platform or vendor? No. NextWave is platform-agnostic. We assess the business case, workflows, data, risks, and implementation requirements before recommending whether to configure an existing system, connect platforms, procure new technology, or build something more specialized. Hands-on experience includes HighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce, Twilio, Zapier, Make, Airtable, OpenAI, APIs, webhooks, and custom workflow orchestration. For platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, ServiceNow, Workato, MuleSoft, UiPath, Zendesk, or NetSuite, we work with your internal team or bring in specialized platform expertise. ### Can NextWave help implement the roadmap? Yes, when the assessment identifies a justified initiative. Follow-on options include roadmap refinement, AI and automation implementation, and fractional transformation leadership. Implementation is optional: the roadmap can be executed by your internal team, another provider, or NextWave. When specialized platform or technical expertise is required, we work with your internal team or bring in the appropriate specialists. ### What if we operate in healthcare, pharma, or life sciences? Healthcare, pharmaceutical, and life-sciences organizations are served by our specialist brand, MedivationsRx Solutions (https://medivationsrx.com/), which focuses on AI, regulatory, and commercial strategy in those sectors. If you submit a request here, it will be passed to the MedivationsRx team.
