AI Solutioning Acceleration · 90-day delivery cycles

Convert your backlog into production systems.

An embedded solutioning pod working directly on your highest-value AI use cases, with each 90-day cycle making the next one faster, more efficient and better governed.

AI Solutioning Acceleration is a Vivid engagement that embeds a senior solutioning pod inside a client team to ship AI use cases to production in repeating 90-day cycles. Each cycle produces governed architecture, high-level design documentation, and playbooks that lower the cost of every use case that follows, and the improvement is tracked in a per-cycle economic register.

In production, and repeating

Velocity without durability is just debt with a deadline.

Most AI delivery engagements optimize for one cycle and leave. Vivid embeds a senior solutioning pod that ships production use cases and builds the architecture patterns, playbooks, and governance standards that compound across every subsequent cycle.

The result is faster delivery now and a lower cost per use case over time, tracked in a per-cycle economic register and presented at every 90-day readout.

Embedded rather than advisory

Vivid operates as a fully integrated extension of your team rather than a vendor delivering artifacts. We sit inside your backlog, your standups, and your architecture decisions from day one.

Governed architecture

Every use case ships with full high-level design documentation, an RBAC framework, architecture decision records, and deployment playbooks. The patterns produced in cycle one reduce the cost of every use case that follows.

Compounding economics

A per-cycle economic register tracks cost, velocity, and return per use case. Each cycle builds on the governance and patterns established in prior cycles, which makes the improvement visible on a defensible economic basis.

Ninety days to production, then the cycle begins again.

Each cycle follows the same rhythm of use case selection, proof of concept, active development, and production release. The cadence never changes. What changes is how much cheaper and faster each cycle becomes as governance and patterns compound.

  1. day1

    Use case selection

    The architecture baseline is reviewed and cycle priorities are confirmed against the backlog, with use cases ranked by impact, effort, and governance readiness. The team is fully integrated and building.

  2. day30

    Proof of concept and architecture

    The proof of concept is complete against representative data, high-level design documents are published, the initial RBAC framework configuration is in place, and the economic baseline for the cycle is established.

  3. day60

    Active development

    The production build is underway and architecture decision records are published, while the Genie and AI app deployment playbooks are refined and staff enablement materials drafted. Deployment and governance patterns are documented as they emerge.

  4. day90

    In production, and repeating

    Use cases are live in production, the per-cycle economic register is updated, and the executive readout is presented. The next cycle backlog is selected, and every cycle starts with more governance and pattern coverage than the last.

Deliverables

Everything that ships, and everything that persists afterwards.

Use cases ship to production, and the documentation, governance, and patterns stay behind, so the next cycle costs less and moves faster.

Foundation

Architecture Baseline and Gap Analysis

  • Current-state Databricks architecture reviewed and documented
  • Gaps that constrain AI delivery identified and sequenced
  • Architecture decisions that gate the backlog made explicit
  • Platform readiness confirmed before first use case build starts
Backlog

Use Case Register

  • Full backlog reviewed and scored by impact, effort, governance readiness
  • Each use case mapped to data availability and architecture gates
  • Priority stack for the current cycle confirmed with stakeholders
  • Updated each cycle as new use cases are added or promoted
Architecture

High-Level Design Documents

  • One high-level design per use case, covering architecture, data flow, governance, and dependencies
  • Reusable HLD template patterns for AI pipelines, Apps, Agents, Genie
  • Architecture Decision Records for major design choices
  • Living documents, updated as production reveals new decisions
Production

Production Releases

  • Use cases deployed to production on governed Databricks infrastructure
  • Meets all Unity Catalog governance and access control standards
  • Peer-reviewed, tested, and signed off before release
  • Enablement sessions run with internal team before handoff
Governance

RBAC Framework and Playbooks

  • RBAC configuration across all new production workloads
  • Genie One deployment and administration playbook
  • AI App and Agent deployment and governance standards
  • Playbooks accumulate across cycles, and are reused and refined rather than rebuilt
Economics

Per-Cycle Economic Register

  • Cost, velocity, and ROI tracked per use case, per cycle
  • Baseline established at cycle start, actuals recorded at close
  • Compounding improvement documented as governance patterns accumulate
Best for

When delivery has to start now and still hold up later.

Each cycle stands alone. Run one to clear the highest-value use cases, or keep cycles running as the operating rhythm for AI delivery.

For delivery leaders

A backlog that is not moving

High-value use cases are ranked and waiting, and internal capacity is committed elsewhere. An embedded pod clears the stack without a hiring cycle.

For platform leaders

Delivery is outrunning governance

Use cases are shipping, but each one is architected from scratch. The HLD patterns and RBAC framework turn one-off builds into a repeatable path.

For executive sponsors

AI spend without a defensible return

The per-cycle economic register puts cost, velocity, and ROI per use case in front of leadership at every 90-day readout.

For platform owners

An assessment that now needs executing

A readiness assessment produced a roadmap, and this is the engagement that delivers against it.

More accelerators

This engagement stands alone, and so does every other one.

Each accelerator is scoped and time-boxed, and none requires the others to deliver value. Run them in sequence and the governance and patterns compound.

Common questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most.

What is AI Solutioning Acceleration?

A Vivid engagement that embeds a senior solutioning pod inside a client team to convert an AI backlog into production use cases in repeating 90-day cycles.

How is this different from staff augmentation?

The pod is accountable for outcomes rather than hours, and every use case ships with the HLD documentation, RBAC configuration, and playbooks that lower the cost of the next one. The artifacts stay whether or not the engagement continues.

Do the cycles have to be consecutive?

No. Each 90-day cycle stands alone and delivers production use cases on its own. Cycles compound when run in sequence, because governance patterns and templates accumulate.

How is return measured?

In a per-cycle economic register: cost, velocity, and ROI tracked per use case, baselined at cycle start and recorded at close, then presented at the executive readout.
