Program · Phase 1–2
Recon
Map before you build.
Diagnostic and architecture. Identify where AI agents create real value, under what governance framework they should operate, and what architecture can be deployed.
What it is
Not a generic audit.
Recon is an operational scoping phase designed to turn AI intent into a concrete execution plan. We intervene after or during technology selection to answer five questions:
- Where agentic automation creates measurable value
- Which processes are actually eligible
- What technical and business dependencies must be integrated
- What level of governance is required
- What target architecture can be deployed without debt or unnecessary risk
When to use it
Recon is right when your organization needs to
Move from testing to a structured roadmap
Prioritize among multiple use cases
Give the C-Suite a ROI + risk + sequencing vision
Understand integration points and deployment constraints
Define the operating model after vendor selection
What we deliver
An executable framework.
For the C-Suite
- Map of automatable processes
- Gain estimates and ROI hypotheses
- AI risk matrix and governance principles
- Deployment roadmap validated by leadership
For the CTO
- Existing stack audit and integration points
- Recommended target architecture
- First proof-of-value agent definition
- Hikari Blue Ops console pre-configuration
Methodology
4 phases. One framework.
Diagnostic
Analysis of operations, decision flows, human dependencies and regulatory constraints.
Prioritization
Selection of high-value, low-friction use cases.
Target Architecture
Target system definition: agents, supervision, security, auditability, escalations.
Executive Alignment
Formalization of a readable plan for business and technology sponsors.
Governance & Security
Even in the scoping phase, Recon integrates control principles from day one.
