AI Strategy Sprint

For teams that need to decide what to build before they spend the build budget. The AI Strategy Sprint is 5 working days: we audit your product, your team, your data, and your competitive landscape, then deliver a prioritized AI roadmap with eval criteria, cost models, and a buy-vs-build call for each line item. If you book a build Sprint with us within 60 days, the $5K credits back in full.

07FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

What is a 14-day AI Strategy Sprint?
Two weeks of structured discovery: we audit your workflows, model a few candidate AI bets (cost, build effort, expected payoff), pick the top two with you, prototype one, and hand back a written roadmap. You end with a real artifact, not just a deck.
Who is this Sprint for and who is it not for?
It is for teams that know AI should be doing something for them but are not sure which bet to make. It is not for teams who already know what they want built — those should skip the strategy Sprint and go straight to an integration or product Sprint.
How fast can you start?
Most engagements start within 1-2 weeks of the discovery call. If you need to start sooner, tell us on the call — we keep a small amount of capacity reserved for urgent work and will be honest about whether we can meet your date.
Do you work with companies outside Canada?
Yes. Creative Brain Inc. is based in Brampton, Ontario but works across North America, the EU, and AU. We bill in CAD, run async across time zones, and overlap a few hours daily with your team for live work.
