Accelerate· Impacto
Critical, independent execution, with no conflict of interest.
Due diligence, project audits, strategic pilots and funding to decide rigorously what deserves investment, what needs redirecting and what needs to stop.
Impact, from the Latin impingere: to strike against something.
Why it matters
Knowing when to stop is part of knowing how to execute.
Executing isn't launching everything you can. It's deciding rigorously what deserves investment, what needs redirecting and what needs to stop. And only someone who doesn't sell the platform being assessed can do that.
- No conflict of interestWe don't sell the platform we audit; our only incentive is your return.
- Honest recommendationContinue, redirect or stop. Whoever implements and sells can't tell you to “stop”.
- Sense before speedExplicit hypotheses, real metrics and a decision to continue or stop before scaling.
Accelerate doesn't live in isolation: ambition is set in Guide, judgment is built in Think and knowledge is structured in Ground.
Who it's for
Designed for those who decide where to invest
- CEOs and CFOs who have to decide AI investments on evidence, not enthusiasm.
- Executive committees with projects under way that need an independent opinion.
- Innovation leaders who want to move from pilots to results.
What we see
Why do AI projects fail?
Pilot-itis
Proofs of concept pile up and never reach production. Plenty of movement, no impact on the bottom line.
No hypothesis and no go/no-go criteria
Projects launch without defining what is being tested or when to stop. A fragile pilot gets industrialized. The project survives on inertia, not evidence.
Buying technology before evaluating
Significant investment is committed without due diligence. With today's pace of technology, that's “shooting yourself in the foot”.
Conflict of interest in who executes
the fox guarding the henhouse
Whoever implements also sells the platform. The vendor decides, not the business.
Vanity metrics
vanity metrics
Activity is measured (demos, users) instead of impact (cost, revenue, risk). False signals that mask the lack of return.
How we develop it
What we draw on to develop Accelerate
Tap each point to see what it involves.
Due diligence
Independent evaluation of AI vendors and platforms before committing significant investment.
Project audits
An honest assessment of ongoing projects, with a clear recommendation: continue, redirect or stop.
Strategic pilots
Explicit hypotheses, success metrics and continue-or-stop criteria before scaling.
Funding and grants
EU funds, CDTI and regional programmes: from technical proposal to award.
Do you have a project or an investment on the table?
An audit gives you a clear recommendation before you commit more money.
