One logical journey: from insight to lasting control

Four services that build on each other, for growing mid-sized organisations. Fixed scope and an agreed result — no hourly billing.

Insight → Build → Steer

Phase 1 · Insight

AI & Data QuickScan

Diagnosis · fixed price, depending on scope

The AI & Data Control Scan: one diagnosis of your data, reporting and AI use — before you invest.

Who it is for

Boards and management teams who want to know where they stand on data, reporting and AI — and the logical order of investment.

The problem it solves

Uncertainty about bottlenecks, risks and opportunities. You know it can be better, but not where to start — and investing without overview leads to scattered initiatives.

What you get
  • Inventory of systems, Excel files and reports
  • Analysis of bottlenecks in finance, operations and management information
  • Assessment of AI opportunities and AI risks
  • Initial assessment of data quality and dependencies
  • A concrete advisory report with priorities and a roadmap
How it works
  1. Intake conversation: your situation, questions and ambition
  2. Focused analysis of systems, reporting and AI use, with a few short interviews
  3. Advisory report with priorities and a roadmap
  4. Review of the findings and the follow-up decision
What you provide

Sample reports, an overview of your systems and two or three conversations with key people.

Out of scope

Implementation and build — the scan is a diagnosis. Building happens afterwards, focused and based on the roadmap.

Result: you know where the biggest risks and opportunities are and which next steps make sense — even if you take them without Qnext.

Logical next step: the Management Cockpit Sprint or AI Workflow Sprint, depending on where the roadmap shows the biggest gains.

Phase 2 · Build

Management Cockpit Sprint

Project · fixed price, depending on scope
Who it is for

Organisations steering on scattered reports and Excel, ready for one reliable view for management, finance and operations.

The problem it solves

Reporting takes manual work, figures contradict each other because definitions differ, and no one fully trusts the numbers.

What you get
  • Shared definitions and a clear KPI structure, with ownership per KPI
  • A management cockpit (Power BI) on reliable data sources
  • An underlying, extensible data model
  • Connection to source systems or existing exports
  • Validation with finance/operations, handover and documentation
How it works
  1. Definition workshop: what the core figures mean, and who owns them
  2. Data model and connection to your sources
  3. Cockpit build in short iterations, together with the users
  4. Validation with finance and operations, then handover
What you provide

Access to source systems or exports, your KPI wishes, and availability of finance/operations for validation.

Out of scope

Restructuring source systems and software licences. Data-quality issues at the source are flagged and addressed in consultation.

Result: management steers on one shared version of the truth — faster, more consistent decisions without monthly copy-paste work.

Logical next step: continued development and monitoring via the Fractional AI & Data Officer.

Phase 2 · Build

AI Workflow Sprint

Project · fixed price, depending on scope
Who it is for

Teams already using AI informally — or wanting to start deliberately — who now want to apply it under control, safely and with agreements, in one concrete workflow.

The problem it solves

AI is used ad hoc, without agreements on quality, safety and privacy — or pilots stall without demonstrable business value.

What you get
  • One clearly scoped workflow with a baseline and an intended result
  • Working AI support with human decision points — a person confirms
  • Safe work instructions and a prompt library, fitting privacy and security
  • Evaluation of quality and errors, with adoption and training
  • Workable agreements on ownership and use
How it works
  1. Process selection and baseline: what it costs now, what it should deliver
  2. Design with explicit human decision points
  3. Build and test, together with the people who will use it
  4. Working agreements, training and an evaluation moment
What you provide

One scoped process, the people involved and representative sample documents or cases.

Out of scope

Fully automated decision-making — deliberately: AI output is a proposal with us, a person confirms. Legal advice is also outside the sprint.

Result: demonstrably less manual work in one process, with agreements and decision points you can explain to staff, clients and regulators.

Logical next step: scaling to a next process, or structural direction via the Fractional AI & Data Officer.

Phase 3 · Steer

Fractional AI & Data Officer

Ongoing · fixed monthly scope
Who it is for

Organisations that need structural direction on AI and data — course, priorities and accountability — without hiring a full-time specialist.

The problem it solves

Initiatives stall, knowledge sits with a few people, no one structurally weighs costs, benefits and risks — and management lacks a mandated point of contact.

What you get
  • An AI and data portfolio: priorities and business cases in one overview
  • Governance and policy: working agreements, an AI register and supplier assessment
  • AI literacy: guidance and formats for your staff
  • Monitoring of costs and benefits, risks and incidents
  • Quarterly reporting to management or the board, plus continued development of cockpits and workflows
How it works
  1. Starting point: establish the portfolio and quarterly agenda
  2. A fixed monthly rhythm with management and the teams involved
  3. Getting and keeping the register, policy and supplier agreements in order
  4. Every quarter: reporting, evaluation and updated priorities
What you provide

A fixed point of contact within your organisation and management agenda time for the monthly and quarterly rhythm.

Out of scope

Full-time capacity and large build projects — those run as scoped sprints alongside the direction role.

Result: structural grip on AI and data, with demonstrable accountability to management and the board — without a full-time hire.

This is the lasting control the journey works towards; sprints and further development connect to it.
