FAQ
Questions teams ask.
What is the difference between Leadership and Capability?
Leadership puts a senior leader inside your executive team part-time. Capability is a defined engagement that builds a system your own team runs after handover. Most clients start with one and add the other. See Leadership.
Where should we start?
With Assess. The 1nnovation Index measures innovation and AI readiness; the FDE Readiness Diagnostic gives a go/no-go on building a forward deployed engineering team. Both take 3 weeks for a fixed fee, and half the fee is credited if you continue within 60 days.
How long do engagements take?
Diagnostics take 3 weeks. FDE Build-out, Innovation Reset and Agentify Your Innovation Team typically run 8–12 weeks. The AI Incubator & Venture Studio runs 12–16 weeks, Hackathon-as-a-Service runs six months, and Product & Growth works in sprints.
What happens after handover?
Your team owns and runs what we built. If you want ongoing support, the 1nnovation Engine keeps your pipeline moving as Innovation-as-a-Service. See how we engage.
Can you train our team?
Yes. The 1nnovation Academy offers FDE and innovation training cohorts (join the waitlist), and the free Executive Briefing explains why AI stalls before production and how to fix it.
