Discover
Understand the business, workflow, people, systems, data and problem.
Our engineers spend time where the work happens. We map the workflow as it actually runs, talk to the people closest to the problem, and look at the systems and data that already exist.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics forward deployed engineers
- →Operators and frontline teams
- →Process and system owners
- Growtrics produces
- →Workflow map
- →Problem statement
- →Opportunity list
- You provide
- →Access to people and sites
- →Existing documentation
- →System and data access where appropriate
DecisionWe move forward once the problem is clearly defined and agreed with the people who own it.
Team trackAssess capacity and operating need
02 / 09
Validate
Determine whether the opportunity is technically and commercially viable.
We test the riskiest assumptions early: data quality, technical feasibility, integration constraints and whether solving the problem is worth the investment.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Business sponsor
- →Technical stakeholders
- Growtrics produces
- →Feasibility findings
- →Technical spikes or proofs
- →Viability assessment
- You provide
- →Sample data
- →Commercial context
- →Constraints and requirements
DecisionOpportunities that are not viable are set aside with a clear explanation, not carried forward.

Prioritise
Decide what to address first based on impact, feasibility, cost and urgency.
Not every opportunity should be built at once. We rank validated opportunities together and agree a sequence that delivers value early while building toward larger goals.
- Who is involved
- →Leadership and business sponsor
- →Growtrics engineering lead
- Growtrics produces
- →Prioritised roadmap
- →Scope for the first deployment
- You provide
- →Business priorities
- →Budget and timing constraints
DecisionPriorities are agreed jointly and revisited as we learn from each deployment.

Design
Define the appropriate technology and solution architecture.
We choose the technology that fits the problem, whether that is AI, automation, software, data, computer vision, IoT, integration, an existing third-party tool, or a combination.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Client IT and system owners
- →End users
- Growtrics produces
- →Solution architecture
- →Technology selection rationale
- →Integration plan
- You provide
- →Security and IT requirements
- →Feedback on workflow fit
DecisionArchitecture is signed off with the people who will run and maintain it.

Build
Develop the solution in close collaboration with the client.
We build in short cycles alongside your team, putting working software in front of real users early so that feedback shapes the solution while it is still cheap to change.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Client product owner
- →Pilot users
- Growtrics produces
- →Working increments
- →Code and configuration
- →Documentation
- You provide
- →Regular feedback
- →Test environments
- →Domain expertise
DecisionIncrements move to testing when they meet agreed acceptance criteria.
Team trackDeploy people into the work
06 / 09
Test
Validate functionality, reliability, quality and real-world behaviour.
We test against how the system will be used in practice, not just how it was specified. For AI components this includes evaluation against representative cases and edge cases.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Quality and evaluation specialists
- →Pilot users
- Growtrics produces
- →Test and evaluation results
- →Known limitations
- →Release readiness
- You provide
- →Representative scenarios
- →User acceptance
DecisionRelease happens when quality thresholds agreed with you are met.

Deploy
Put the solution into the client's actual operating environment.
We deploy into the real environment (the factory floor, the operations team, the existing systems) and stay close through rollout so problems are caught and fixed quickly.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Client IT and operations
- →End users
- Growtrics produces
- →Production deployment
- →Rollout and training support
- →Runbooks
- You provide
- →Production access
- →Change management support
DecisionRollout expands as the system proves stable in real use.
Team trackRun the work in the client environment
08 / 09
Measure
Measure adoption, performance and business impact.
We track whether the solution is used, whether it performs reliably, and whether it changes the outcome it was built to change.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Business sponsor
- →Operations leads
- Growtrics produces
- →Adoption and performance monitoring
- →Impact reporting
- You provide
- →Baseline data
- →Access to outcome measures
DecisionMeasurement determines what to improve, expand or retire next.
Team trackMeasure client and economic outcomes
09 / 09
Improve
Iterate, expand and continuously improve.
Deployment is not the end. We refine what exists, extend it to new teams or sites, and feed what we learn back into discovery for the next opportunity.
- Who is involved
- →Growtrics engineers
- →Client teams
- Growtrics produces
- →Improvements and extensions
- →Updated roadmap
- You provide
- →Ongoing feedback
- →New problems worth solving
DecisionThe cycle continues for as long as there is meaningful value to create.
