Advisory

An AI project should start with decisions, not with tools.

I support executives, business leaders and product teams in auditing, framing and designing their AI projects.

Use cases, expected value, human role, risks, solution behaviour and roadmap: I turn an intention or a prototype into a project the company can actually arbitrate and implement.

AI is accessible. The right decisions are harder.

An idea launched by leadership. A promising prototype. Several tools already bought. Teams experimenting separately. A provider proposing its own solution.

I intervene to make these questions explicit, structure trade-offs and give the project a clear direction.

The same questions appear quickly
  • 01Where can AI really create value?
  • 02Which uses should be prioritised?
  • 03Can the prototype become a durable solution?
  • 04What should AI do, and what should humans keep?
  • 05Which risks, costs and dependencies are we creating?
  • 06How do we move from experimentation to a real product trajectory?
04 areas

Engagement areas

01

AI audit and diagnosis

Take stock before investing further

You may already have experiments, tools in place or a project handed to a provider. The audit clarifies what actually works, what remains fragile and what must be decided before moving forward.

The analysis can cover
  • use cases and value produced
  • tools and solutions already in place
  • affected processes
  • visible and hidden costs
  • dependencies on vendors or providers
  • quality of data and knowledge used
  • responsibilities and control mechanisms
  • the system's ability to evolve

You get a clear reading of the current state, risks, priorities and next decisions.

02

Product and business framing

Turn a broad idea into an arbitrable project

We need to do something with AI is not enough to launch a project.

Framing turns ambition into a concrete proposal: for which users, in which situations, with which value and under which conditions.

We define in particular
  • the business problem to solve
  • users and processes involved
  • priority use cases
  • expected value
  • AI's place in the experience
  • the split between automation, assistance and human decision
  • acceptable limits
  • success criteria
  • hypotheses to validate

You get a project that is understandable, shareable and precise enough to decide what comes next.

03

AI strategy and roadmap

Choose where to invest and in what order

AI initiatives multiply quickly: one tool per team, several prototypes in parallel, subscriptions piling up and no shared view.

I help you build a coherent trajectory from your business priorities, internal capabilities and maturity level.

The mission can cover
  • opportunity mapping
  • comparison and prioritisation of use cases
  • buy, integrate or build decisions
  • identification of prerequisites
  • organisation of experiments
  • skills to mobilise
  • ramp-up steps
  • conditions for scaling

You get a realistic roadmap, with explicit choices and clearly ordered steps.

04

Solution design and architecture

Define how the system must actually work

An AI solution is not just a model choice or a chat interface.

You need to define which information it uses, what it can do, how it fits into existing work, when humans intervene and how its actions can be understood or controlled.

I support the design of the whole operating model
  • user journeys and experience
  • role of AI and role of humans
  • information flows
  • business rules
  • levels of autonomy
  • validations and exceptions
  • integration with existing tools
  • context and continuity management
  • traceability of actions and decisions
  • structuring principles for the architecture

You get a target vision clear enough to guide internal teams, partners and providers.

Approach

An approach at the intersection of product, system and governance

Product

An AI project must solve a real problem, fit an actual use and produce observable value.

I work on users, journeys, decisions, success criteria and adoption conditions.

System

AI depends on everything around it: tools, data, rules, processes, memory, permissions and human interventions.

I design the whole operating model to avoid isolated prototypes and tool stacks that are hard to maintain.

Governance

The more AI acts, the more responsibilities, limits and evidence matter.

I include validation, control, traceability and risk management mechanisms from the design stage.

Deliverables

What the mission can produce

Depending on your situation, deliverables may include:

01a diagnosis of the current state
02an opportunity map
03product and business framing
04a risk and dependency analysis
05an argued recommendation
06a decision note for leadership
07a target functional architecture
08a definition of roles between human and AI
09a prioritised roadmap
10a framing brief for teams or providers
11a governance model
12evaluation and scaling criteria

The goal remains the same: help you decide and move forward with a shared vision.

Method

How I work

01

Start from real work

I first understand users, processes, constraints and the decisions AI must actually improve.

02

Make trade-offs explicit

Every option carries benefits, costs, dependencies and risks. I make them visible so structural choices are not made by default.

03

Connect business, product and execution

I translate leadership and business needs into principles precise enough to be understood and implemented by product, technical teams or providers.

04

Leave an operational frame

The mission does not end with a generic presentation. Decisions, hypotheses, responsibilities and next steps are formalised in directly usable deliverables.

My advisory work remains independent from vendors, models and platforms.

About

RoleProduct Manager and AI systems architect
Experience15+ years in IT, including 12 years in product
WorkAgents, memory, governance, durable systems

I am Jeremy Grimonpont, Product Manager and AI systems architect.

After more than fifteen years in IT, including more than twelve years in product, I created arkalabs to work on a simple question: how can AI be integrated into real work without losing control of the system around it?

My work focuses on agents, memory, governance and the design of systems able to maintain coherence over time.

This expertise allows me to intervene on strategy and use cases as well as on the structural choices that condition reliability and future evolution.

Formats

Engagement formats

Format 01

Targeted mission

To analyse a precise question, challenge a project or clarify a decision.

Format 02

Audit or complete framing

To structure an initiative, produce a recommendation and prepare implementation.

Format 03

Longer-term support

To follow the project, secure trade-offs and support internal teams or providers through design.

Do you have an idea, a prototype or an AI project lacking direction?

A first conversation clarifies your situation, the decisions to make and the most suitable engagement format.
