A fixed-scope, fixed-price product-service. Five days of joint work with your team to map AI-candidate processes, assess technical feasibility, size ROI and deliver a prioritised roadmap. It's not a sales meeting: it's real work with a formal deliverable.
Five days of joint work between the Davisa AI Studio team and the operational and technical leads of your company. The goal is to identify which of your processes are reasonable candidates for an AI Pilot, to assess whether the data available in Business Central is enough to feed those cases, to size the expected ROI of each candidate and to deliver a roadmap prioritised by impact, cost and technical feasibility.
It is a fixed-scope product-service, not a bag of hours. It has a fixed price, a defined deliverable and a calendar signed in writing before starting. It is not an extended sales meeting or a generic workshop: it is real work with significant senior team time and a document that stands on its own at the end.
The Discovery is designed to be useful even if afterwards you decide not to contract a Pilot. The roadmap is yours, in editable format, with defensible quantitative criteria. You can use it to build an internal roadmap, take it to a committee, ask other vendors to quote against that scope or shelf it to revisit in 6 months. The decision to continue with Davisa is yours, not a contractual obligation.
The calendar is standard but the content adapts to your sector and volume. These are the typical milestones of a Discovery week.
3 to 4-hour session with management and operational areas. Customer process mapping, identification of pain points where AI could deliver value, sizing of team and volume involved. We come out with a shortlist of 8 to 12 candidates to evaluate in depth during the following days.
45-60 minute 1-1 sessions with the owners of the candidate processes: CFO, operations director, IT director, area leads. In parallel, the AI engineer and the BC consultant review the ERP state: tables involved, historical quality, analytical dimensions, active dv* extensions and data available to feed models.
The Davisa AI Studio team builds the opportunity/impact/cost matrix for 5 to 10 candidate processes. Each is evaluated with explicit criteria: estimated annual saving, Pilot cost, technical feasibility, available sponsor, implementation risk. The prioritisation is defensible: each case carries its rationale.
2-hour session with management. Delivery of the full roadmap document, summary PDF for committee or board, and recording of the session. You leave with the material ready to make the internal decision on whether to launch a Pilot and which one.
20 to 30 pages with 3 to 7 AI opportunities evaluated. For each opportunity: case description, expected KPI, technical stack required, Pilot sizing (weeks and profile), indicative investment range, risks and dependencies. The prioritisation is defensible with quantitative criteria.
8 to 12 slides with the Discovery conclusion: top candidates, Pilot recommendation, suggested calendar and next step. Designed to be taken to the executive committee, board of directors or family ownership without needing to read the full technical document.
The Day 5 presentation is recorded and shared with the customer team. Useful for those who couldn't attend and for internal follow-up meetings in the weeks after.
If after the Discovery you decide to continue with a Pilot, in one additional week we prepare a closed proposal for the chosen case: functional scope, KPI target and baseline, timeline (8-week standard), firm rate and technical architecture. No obligation to accept.
To avoid misunderstandings when signing the proposal, we state it clearly upfront.
Fixed price. Agreed in writing before starting and without hour-based adjustment at the end. We don't publish the figure on the web because it varies with the number of processes to map, technical depth and sector. Request a proposal and we'll send it documented within 48 business hours.
Independent of the Pilot. The Discovery is paid at the close of Day 5 against delivery of the roadmap, whatever you decide afterwards. If you don't contract a Pilot after the Discovery, you keep the roadmap anyway. There is no conditional refund and no clause tying you to continue.
Possible credit against the Pilot. If you decide to contract a Pilot within 60 days after the Discovery, part of the Discovery cost may be credited against the Pilot rate depending on volume and chosen case. This is agreed case by case when signing the Pilot, not an automatic right.
Senior in-house team of the Davisa AI Studio. We don't subcontract or deploy rotating junior consultants. The people who see your data in the Discovery are the same ones who would build the Pilot if you decide to continue.
A Discovery without access to the customer team doesn't work. This is the minimum commitment we expect on your side across the 5 days.
Fixed price. We don't publish the figure on the web because the sizing depends on the number of processes to map, the required technical depth and the sector (it's not the same work in a construction firm with 3 companies as in a single-entity manufacturer). The range is reasonable as an entry to an AI project and we confirm it in writing before starting. Request a proposal from the form on this page and we'll send it documented within 48 business hours.
The honest answer is to roll out BC first and then run the AI Discovery. The AI Studio value proposition rests on native integration with Business Central and the dv* extensions. Applying AI to data scattered across Excel and SharePoint pays back poorly and is harder to maintain. If you're evaluating an ERP, we can talk about BC implementation first (Davisa has been a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Business Central since 2003) and then fit the AI Discovery on top of that foundation.
The Discovery fits well from about 25 employees and BC in production for at least twelve months. Below that threshold, AI candidate cases almost never have enough volume to justify a Pilot, and the Discovery ends up concluding exactly that. If your size is clearly smaller, skip the Discovery: the most useful thing is usually to tidy up your processes in BC first and come back in 12-18 months when the foundation is stronger.
From proposal signature to Day 1 of the workshop we are usually between 3 and 6 weeks, depending on the Davisa AI Studio team calendar at the time. If you have a specific time pressure (upcoming audit, investment committee, budget window), say so in the request and we'll see if it can be compressed. We never accept starting without confirmed availability of your stakeholders across the 5 days: a Discovery without access to the customer team doesn't work.
We work in Spanish and Catalan as the main languages of the team and deliverables. Workshop sessions and stakeholder interviews can be run in English when the customer team needs it (international subsidiaries, foreign management), but the roadmap document is delivered in Spanish by default. If you need the roadmap translated to English, we quote it separately as an additional deliverable.
Request the AI Discovery and we'll send a detailed proposal (scope, price, calendar and team) within 48 business hours.
