Discovery
Understand the terrain before you commit to a route.
Discovery is the phase where organizations move from abstract interest in AI to concrete understanding. The focus is not on tools or pilots, but on identifying where AI can realistically improve outcomes, reduce friction, or unlock new capabilities. Poor Discovery leads to misaligned pilots, wasted spend, and skepticism later in the adoption journey.
A structured AI Altitude Assessment maps your current posture across five dimensions: workflow complexity, data readiness, team capability, vendor landscape, and risk tolerance. The output is a prioritized opportunity brief -- not a generic AI strategy deck, but a scoped route for your specific Shopify operation.

Teams are experimenting independently with no shared framework
Vendor pitches are arriving faster than your ability to evaluate them
You have tried AI tools but cannot measure whether they worked
Priority opportunity areas identified and ranked
Data and workflow readiness assessed per opportunity
Pilot scope defined with clear success criteria
