Work with aiclavis
aiclavis works on consequential business questions where the available evidence is fragmented, competing explanations remain plausible, or the cost of acting on the wrong assumption is material.
We do not begin by assuming that a problem exists.
The work is designed to determine what the evidence actually supports.
A Scoping Sprint turns a broad concern into a researchable decision question. It establishes:
The Sprint is a standalone paid engagement. Its purpose is to determine whether a larger investigation is justified and, if so, precisely what it should test.
Decision Validation tests a defined question against the strongest available evidence. Depending on the investigation, the work may combine:
The result may:
A negative finding is a valid outcome.
The objective is to close the question — in either direction.
Fixed scope. Fixed duration. Fixed fee.
What you receive
A clear separation between what is observed, derived, inferred and still unknown.
What the findings change — and what they do not.
The remaining questions that materially affect the decision.
The smallest set of internal questions required to resolve remaining uncertainty.
The basis for the material conclusions.
What aiclavis does not sell
We do not sell predetermined conclusions.
aiclavis does not take an engagement on the condition that a suspected problem must be found.
We do not sell analysis by the hour.
Engagements are scoped around the question and the result required to resolve it.
We do not turn uncertainty into certainty for presentation purposes.
If the evidence is insufficient, the result remains unknown.

Fees
Engagements are fixed-scope and fixed-fee. Fees are provided after the initial question and scope are understood.
If the consequence of being wrong is material, we can examine what the evidence actually supports.
