FitCheck Diagnostic · 2–4 weeks

Turn a fragmented AI pipeline into a portfolio leadership can fund.

FitCheck gives CIOs, COOs and transformation leaders one evidence-backed view of AI demand: what to fund, what to prove, what to reshape and what to stop.

A decision process you can audit, not an opinion you have to take on faith.

The portfolio in one view

Evidence underneath every decision.

FitCheck makes the portfolio, the initiative verdict and the executive output visible — without asking leadership to trust a black box.

The decision architecture

From unstructured demand to an executive decision.

Every initiative follows the same path, with evidence beneath the score and clear ownership of the final decision.

Score Govern Shape Value Decide
Five steps, one governed portfolio. Everything lands at Decide: a verdict your leadership can defend.
01

Score

Is it a strong candidate for AI?

Test strategic fit, process suitability, data readiness, value, complexity, risk and adoption.

02

Govern

What conditions must be true?

Name the risk tier, controls, decision rights and evidence still required.

03

Shape

What is the smallest credible proof?

Bound the solution, choose the right pattern and retain human gates where they matter.

04

Value

Is the prize worth the investment?

Model benefit, cost, payback and the economic case for the next stage.

05

Decide

What should leadership do next?

Fund, prove, reshape, pause or stop — with the reasoning visible.

The engagement

A focused portfolio decision in two to four weeks.

FitCheck is run against your real backlog, with senior leadership involved at the points where choices need to be made.

Situation

AI demand is growing faster than investment discipline.

Ideas, pilots and vendor proposals are difficult to compare, and leadership lacks a single view of value, risk and readiness.

Leadership decision

Choose where to invest — and where not to.

Agree which initiatives proceed, which require a bounded proof, which need reshaping and which should stop.

Outputs

A portfolio built for action.

Portfolio heatmap, initiative verdicts, named risk conditions, funding recommendations, board-ready pack and a 90-day action plan.

A strong fit when

  • You have many AI ideas but no common investment logic.
  • Business experimentation is moving faster than enterprise control.
  • The board wants a credible portfolio and a clear path to value.
  • You need independent challenge before committing delivery budget.

A different engagement is better when

  • The portfolio decision is already made and you only need delivery capacity.
  • The immediate need is general AI literacy training.
  • There is only one narrow workflow to automate.
  • The priority is broad technology transformation rather than AI portfolio decisions.
After FitCheck

FitCheck establishes the portfolio. The Control Tower establishes how it runs.

Once leadership can see the work, Adapt2 can put minimum viable control around cost, data, access, risk and the path into production.
