Month One / AI discovery, training & platform deployment

Four weeks to establish control, fluency, and a buildable roadmap.

Deploy the platforms. Train the teams. Map the workflows. Build only what discovery validates.

Why the sequence matters

Training and discovery before custom build.

Building before teams understand the platforms produces shelved prototypes and unclear ROI. Month One creates the conditions to choose and build the right things.

The old approach
  • Jump directly to use cases
  • Prototype before teams know the tools
  • Architect without discovery
  • Hope adoption follows
The Alloy approach
  • Deploy platforms, then train teams
  • Discover workflows across departments
  • Map skills, connectors, and prerequisites
  • Build what evidence validates
Three parallel tracks
01

Deploy & govern

Configure foundation-model platforms and coding agents for enterprise use: identity, access, data controls, governance, repositories, and responsible-use foundations.

02

Train & enable

Live, role-based training for business teams, engineers, leaders, and champions—grounded in the platforms and workflows they will actually use.

03

Discover & map

Department-level discovery that identifies repeatable AI skills, maps required connectors and prerequisites, and produces a sequenced Phase Two roadmap.

Working outputs

Not a report.
An operating foundation.

Artifacts are built for the people who must approve, operate, extend, and govern the capability after Month One.

Readiness gate

Administrative access is a prerequisite, not a nice-to-have.

We surface permission and ownership blockers before they delay the engagement. The right sponsors, platform owners, security partners, and representative users participate from kickoff.
