Sheet A-02 · Fast AI Strategy & Technology
Where AI actually moves the needle.
Most AI advice sells cost-cutting. FAST is built on velocity: faster teams and smarter products, with savings as the byproduct. It reads your operations, engineering, and product against a five-level maturity scale, then names the few priorities to resolve before the roadmap proceeds.

04 · Questions
What is the FAST diagnostic?
FAST, short for Fast AI Strategy & Technology, is an evidence-based read of where AI will move the needle for a tech company. It scores operations, engineering, product, positioning, and readiness on a five-level maturity scale, then names the few priorities to resolve before a roadmap proceeds.
How is maturity scored?
Each dimension is rated Ad hoc, Emerging, Defined, Managed, or Optimized. It is an analytic judgement on the evidence, not a vanity score, and each rating carries an evidence-confidence level.
Is the scorecard the full diagnostic?
No. The two-minute scorecard is a fast self-assessment that gives you an instant read and your top priorities. The full FAST engagement validates every finding against your systems and produces an executive deck.
Who is FAST for?
Series B to pre-IPO tech leaders: founders, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering feeling velocity, cost, or competitive pressure around AI.
