Enterprise AI Readiness & Implementation Playbook

From AI readiness assessment through RAG architecture design and production deployment governance — our end-to-end methodology for enterprise AI.

This playbook describes how CELESDEV takes enterprises from AI ambition to production AI — covering readiness assessment, use case prioritisation, platform architecture, RAG implementation, guardrail design, and the operating model for sustained AI delivery.

Programme Phases

From AI ambition to production AI

Phase 1
AI Readiness Assessment (2 wks)
Data quality evaluation, use case prioritisation (impact × feasibility matrix), skills gap assessment, data residency and privacy constraints mapping, AI governance framework review.
Phase 2
Platform Architecture Design (3 wks)
LLM selection and gateway design, vector store selection (Qdrant/pgvector/Pinecone), embedding pipeline architecture, guardrail framework design, observability instrumentation plan, FinOps model for LLM costs.
Phase 3
Platform Build & First Use Case (8 wks)
AI gateway deployment, vector store setup, chunking and embedding pipeline, guardrails (PII detection, topic filtering, output validation), first RAG use case production deployment with full observability.
Phase 4
Scale & Operating Model (ongoing)
Additional use case onboarding via shared platform, model versioning and upgrade process, prompt library governance, team capability transfer, AI operating model documentation.
