SERVICES / DELIVERY & ASSURANCE

AI Delivery & Assurance

Take an approved AI use case from pilot to governed production — with policy, traces, cost, and evidence wired in from day one. This is where Lastmile (Qualify · Activate · Control) is delivered as a service.

THE CHALLENGE

AI pilots stall at production

Most AI work dies between the demo and the live system. Pilots ship without policy, evidence, or cost attribution — and the real audit, risk, and budget questions land all at once.

01

Demos that don't survive contact with security, legal, or finance review

02

No structured deployment path — every project re-invents how to go live

03

Pilot-to-production timelines that stretch from weeks to quarters

HOW WE DELIVER

Our Approach

01

Qualify

Two-week structured diagnostic that turns a candidate use case into a scoped, scored, decision-ready package. Executive decision at the end: Fund, Defer, or Reject.

02

Activate

6–8 week governed deployment. Pre-built methodology package configured for your use case. All four control layers — policy, trace, cost, evidence — wired into your cloud stack before go-live.

03

Control

Ongoing methodology-led oversight. Monthly scorecard, quarterly strategy session, on-incident response. Expand, Hold, or Stop decisions made on clear evidence.

WHAT YOU GET

Deliverables

Every deliverable is pre-built, reusable, and handed over with the artefact — not just the idea. What follows is what lands on your desk, what's inside it, and the format it arrives in.
