90-day roadmap

From kick-off to compounding signals.

Every pillar runs the same four-step rhythm. The first three are fixed scope. The fourth is the long game.

AI Chatbot Development 90-day roadmap Day 0 — kick-off Day 14 Day 30 Day 90 1 2 3 4 Discover Audit, interview, stakeholder map Plan Tailored 90-day roadmap signed off Build First measurable signals shipped Compound Quarterly review, long-game cadence

Below: the same rhythm in detail. Every step is fixed-scope, dated, and visible inside your portal.

01 / Discover

Audit and interview.

We map your current state, your stack, and the gap between today and the goal. End of week one.

02 / Plan

Tailored 90-day roadmap.

A written plan with deliverables, owners, and dates. You sign it off before we build. End of week two.

03 / Build

Production cadence.

Weekly delivery into your portal. Progress, assets, and metrics in real time.

04 / Compound

Quarterly review.

Roadmap refreshed against compounding signals. The work keeps paying dividends long after the build.

Three production paces, every one with the same fixed-scope discipline. Pick the cadence that fits your business — switch between them at any 90-day boundary.

Default cadence

Standard pace

  • Cycles 90 days, rolling
  • First signal 60-90 days

For launches

Express pace

30-day cycles

Shorter cycles for time-sensitive launches, quarterly campaigns, or when a hard deadline is non-negotiable.

  • Cadence Twice-weekly delivery
  • Cycles 30 days, rolling
  • First signal 14-30 days
  • Best for Launches, sprints
Continuous

Architect pace

Continuous flow

Multi-team, continuous delivery for operators with hard deadlines, multiple locales, or 5+ pillars stacking.

Inside a 12-week engagement

What happens, week by week.

A concrete walk-through of a AI & Intelligence engagement at Standard pace. Every step is fixed-scope, dated, and visible inside your portal.

WK 1

Discovery call + audit kickoff.

Thirty-minute discovery call, full access granted to your stack, and the audit begins the same day. We talk to your team, your customers if you can introduce us, and the people closest to the metric.

Outputs: Audit baseline, stakeholder map
WK 2

Roadmap delivered + signed off.

A written 90-day roadmap with deliverables, owners, dates, and success signals lands inside your portal. We talk it through, you mark it up, you sign it off. Nothing builds before you do.

Outputs: 90-day roadmap PDF, sign-off
WK 3-4

Production starts. First assets land.

The brand voice document, the first wave of content, the first dashboard wires up. Friday-end you see the deliverables tracker move from zero to working. Weekly delivery becomes the rhythm.

Outputs: Brand voice doc, first deliverables
WK 5-8

First measurable signals shipped.

By the end of month two, the first quantitative signal is visible in your dashboard. Pages ranking, leads landing, opens rising, deliverables stacking. We talk weekly, course-correct in writing.

Outputs: Live dashboards, first results read-out
WK 9-12

Compounding kicks in.

Month three is where the work starts paying compounding dividends — the second piece outperforms the first, the second list segment outperforms the first, the second creative cohort beats the baseline.

Outputs: Quarterly read-out, refreshed roadmap
Q2+

Quarterly review + roadmap refresh.

Every 90 days the roadmap is rebuilt against the actual signals. What compounded gets doubled down on. What flatlined gets re-scoped or dropped. Walk-away rights at every cycle — you keep everything either way.

Outputs: Refreshed roadmap, board-ready review pack

The contrast

Most AI & Intelligence agencies vs. how we run it.

If you have worked with a marketing agency before, you have probably seen the column on the left. Here is what we do instead.

Stop

What most agencies sell

  • "AI strategy" decks with no production system behind them
  • ChatGPT subscriptions handed out without governance or guardrails
  • Models hallucinating into customer-facing channels with no review layer
  • Black-box "AI agencies" that lock you into proprietary tooling
Start

How we run AI & Intelligence

  • Production RAG pipelines wired to your real knowledge base
  • Governance, evaluation, and human-review built in from day one
  • Routed model architecture — best model per task, no vendor lock
  • Every prompt, every output, every cost — visible inside your portal
Pillar pairings

What pairs well with the AI & Intelligence pillar.

No pillar runs in isolation. These are the pillars we most often stack alongside AI & Intelligence — and why.

Pillar pairing

Automation & CRM

Most useful AI lives inside an existing automation surface — routing, scoring, drafting.

Content & Editorial

AI accelerates research, outlines, and refresh cycles inside an editorial system.

Strategy & Consultancy

AI strategy without an operating-strategy frame produces tooling without leverage.

Web Development

AI features need APIs, tracking, evaluation harnesses and proper deployment surface.

How we put RAG, classification and predictive scoring into production with governance, evaluation harnesses, and routed model architecture — without vendor lock.

No spam. One playbook, one follow-up email a week later asking what landed and what didn’t. Unsubscribe in one click.

The cost of waiting

Every quarter without an AI production system is operating leverage a competitor is building.

AI is moving from novelty to operating standard inside 18 months. The teams that built production retrieval, classification and drafting systems in 2025 are running 30 to 60 per cent leaner today than the teams still buying ChatGPT seats.

FAQ

Honest answers, before the call.

Six questions we get asked on almost every AI Chatbot Development discovery call. If yours isn’t here, drop it in the contact form and we’ll answer in writing within a working day.

How does AI Chatbot Development fit into your AI & Intelligence pillar?

AI Chatbot Development is one of the productised services inside our AI & Intelligence retainer. You can engage it as a standalone deliverable, but the leverage comes from running it inside the wider AI & Intelligence programme — where it inherits the audit, the roadmap, the reporting cadence, and the integration into your other pillars.

Can we buy AI Chatbot Development on its own without the full pillar?

Yes. AI Chatbot Development is available as a standalone scope when that is the right shape for your business. We will tell you on the discovery call whether running it inside the AI & Intelligence pillar would compound harder, but you decide.

Is AI Chatbot Development right for our size of business?

We work with founder-led service businesses and SMEs from 10 to 200 staff, typically GBP 500K to 20M turnover, across the UK and the Costa Blanca. If you sit either side of that range we’ll tell you on the call — we won’t take work that isn’t a fit.

Do you measure success in revenue or in vanity metrics?

Revenue, qualified pipeline, and cost-per-acquired-customer come first. Rankings, traffic, impressions, and engagement are diagnostic — useful, but secondary. Every monthly report ties activity back to commercial outcomes.

What does AI Chatbot Development cost?

AI Chatbot Development is normally scoped as part of the AI & Intelligence pillar (Foundation from £1,500–3,000/month, Compound from £3,000–6,000/month, Architect from £6,000+/month). Standalone scopes start lower — we will send a tailored band before the discovery call and a written quote within two business days.

Will you guarantee specific results or rankings?

No, and run from anyone who does. We guarantee the work — the audit, on-page, technical depth, content cadence, automation, and reporting — to a documented standard, every week. Outcomes follow. If they don’t move within the time-to-signal window we sit down and rebuild the plan together. You walk away with everything we’ve built, every cycle.

What if AI Chatbot Development doesn’t work for us?

You own everything we build — site, content, lists, pipelines, automations — from day one. There are no proprietary tools to lock you in. We work in 90-day cycles and either side can decline to renew at the end of any cycle.
