A modular AI program: agree each phase before expanding

A modular program divides implementation into assessable deliveries. It allows review of one need before adding others, but modules may have dependencies and shared costs that need documentation.

Planning a first application

  1. Start with a conversation about objectives and context.
  2. Agree scope, budget, integrations and acceptance for the first module.
  3. Deliver documentation and practical training before expanding.

What to check before deciding

Decide the next phase using observed results and complete costs. Do not assume one module finances another. Define maintenance, providers and exit terms; regulatory obligations require assessment of the use case and current sources.
