V1 Engineering
Rapid prototyping and AI Proof of Concepts
Within 2 weeks, we can deliver a version 1 prototype of your initiatives, implemented with production-ready code and documentation. AI and analytics systems move fast, so we intend to ship and iterate quickly to deliver value in the shortest time possible.
- No mockups or wireframes. Build and validate in 15 hours of product engineering.
- Ship your POC to gather actual usage data and feedback
- Gain internal buy-in and rally support for your initiatives
Continuous Upskilling
Develop internal AI capabilities and sensitivity
Opportunities in generative AI and agentic automations are abundant, as long as the eyes are alerted to these possibilities. Post-Discovery, we want to continue sharpening the opportunistic radar of your team, so they can identify the quick wins presented by AI and analytics systems along the way.
- Regular check-ins and private workshops
- Tailored resources and digital case studies
- Ongoing mentorship and support
AI readiness assessment: what we evaluate
We assess readiness against concrete, high-value use cases rather than abstract maturity scores.
| What we evaluate | What good looks like | |
|---|---|---|
| Data | The data each use case needs exists, is accessible and is good enough to build on. | |
| Infrastructure | There is an environment where the system can run under your governance: your cloud, a private network or on-premise. | |
| Skills | Someone owns each use case, and your team can run and improve the system after launch or has a plan to learn. | |
| Governance | Access control, data residency, evaluation and human review are set up so security and compliance teams can sign off. | |
| Use-case value | Each use case is ranked by business value and feasibility, starting with your largest cost centres and pain points. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Opportunity Discovery?
AI Opportunity Discovery is a structured AI readiness and opportunity assessment. Over a short, hands-on engagement, Supertype's AI engineers map your business processes, identify where AI and automation can create the most value, rank each opportunity by business impact and feasibility, and build a working proof-of-concept for the highest-ranked one.
It is designed to be the first step for organizations deciding where and how to adopt AI. We have 30+ enterprise AI deployments since 2016 behind the ranking, and you can meet the engineers on the team page.
How do you identify the right AI use cases for our business?
We start with executive-level workshops and sprint sessions to understand your largest cost centres, biggest pain points and most pressing needs. We then compile a Business Value Catalog that ranks each candidate use case by potential business value and implementation feasibility.
That way you invest in the initiatives with the greatest impact rather than chasing AI for its own sake. The top-ranked item may turn out to be a chatbot, a RAG system or predictive analytics.
How long does the discovery process take and what does it cost?
The core engagement runs in under 24 hours of focused work and starts under $3,900. That includes discovery workshops, the ranked Business Value Catalog, and a V1 proof-of-concept for the top-ranked opportunity, giving you results on day one rather than after a months-long study.
We're not sure we're ready for AI. Is this an AI readiness assessment?
Yes. Opportunity Discovery doubles as an AI readiness assessment: it evaluates your data, processes and team against concrete, high-value use cases instead of abstract maturity scores.
You come away knowing which opportunities are ready to ship now and which need groundwork first. If the groundwork is data engineering, our data science consulting team can pick that up.
Do we have to commit to a large project afterwards?
No. Discovery is a self-contained engagement that leaves you with a prioritized roadmap and a working proof-of-concept you own.
Many clients continue with us on managed engineering or upskilling, but there is no lock-in, and the deliverables stand on their own. If you want to weigh building it yourselves against hiring help, read our build vs buy vs partner guide.
How is AI strategy consulting different from generative AI consulting?
AI strategy consulting looks across all your AI, analytics and automation opportunities and ranks them by business value. Generative AI consulting focuses on use cases for large language models: architecture, model choice and governance.
Supertype offers both. If you already know you want an LLM use case, go straight to generative AI consulting.
How is AI transformation consulting different from a one-off pilot?
A one-off pilot tests a single idea. AI transformation consulting ranks every opportunity by value, builds the first one, and keeps going.
After V1 Engineering, we continue upskilling your team through tailored consultations and workshops so the next opportunities get delivered too. Our LLM development and AI agents services are common next steps.
