Working AI systems for teams · Ruhr area and remote

In 5 working days you know which task costs your team the most time.

The Time Audit delivers a task list and a memo at a fixed price, no slide decks. The software comes with the Build Sprint. Your team usually runs it the next morning. 18 years of product leadership at Intel, HP, Rackspace, Phoenix Contact and BioNTech.

Your situation

Where are you right now?

Everyone is busy, and the same work keeps coming back.

Details typed in twice. Follow-ups chased by hand. Nobody has measured which of it costs the most.

The Time Audit · €1,490 ($1,700) net + VAT · 5 working days

Every repeat task over ten minutes a week in one list, with a decision on each. 100% credited against a Build Sprint ordered within 30 days.

See the Time Audit →

You know which job eats the hours. Nobody has time to build the fix.

The problem is clear. Your team is too busy doing the work by hand to change it.

The Build Sprint · €4,900 ($5,570) net + VAT · 5 working days

One workflow, in the tools you already use. The metric is agreed in writing before the start, in hours per week.

Something was automated once. Now nobody looks after it.

When it breaks or the process changes, it waits until someone has time.

Ongoing Support · €490 ($560) or €990 ($1,130) a month net + VAT

3 to 8 hours a month, re-measured every quarter. Minimum term 3 months.

Tasks

Where does your team lose time?

Six questions from dmello-advisory's own time audit.

Why now

You know time is leaking somewhere. You just do not know where, or what it costs.

Most companies do not lack the idea. They lack someone who measures the workflow, designs the strategy and then builds it.

The framework: REPOSITION

I don't talk about AI. I restructure how you work with it. A named framework, not a buzzword. Six steps, but only one costs you time today: Read.

The method behind every project. Free workshops at reposition.dev. reposition.dev ↗

    Plot your AI-augmented workflow

    AI takes the volume, humans the judgment. Redrawn.

  4. 04O

    Operate with AI

    From plan to production, with real tools instead of slides.

  5. 05S

    Sustain your new habits

    New routines that hold after the engagement ends.

    Tools evolve. So does your setup.

About

One person. Strategy and implementation.

I'm Merryl DMello. 18 years in product and engineering at Intel, HP, Rackspace, Phoenix Contact and BioNTech. I don't deliver slides; I deliver working software your team usually runs the next morning. Strategy and delivery in one person is the combination most teams most often lack.

Delivery

How delivery runs.

Results are written, not presented. Three steps, fixed dates.

The input

Structured conversations with your people, remote or on site. What I need is set out in writing up front: once it is complete, the clock starts.

The drafting

Five working days for the Time Audit and Cost Audit, one working day for the Standing Check. The task list is built from your input, not from templates with estimates.

The handover

Task list, decisions and memo as your files, in your formats. Nothing to install, nothing to license.
