# 90-Day Automotive AI Programme | Zero to Sixty Lab

THE PROGRAMME / 90 DAYS
Bring a problem.
Let’s work through it.

Over 90 days, I help your team research, design and test an AI system around a piece of work you want to improve. You learn by building it.

What a week looks like.

Bring the prototype, the results and the parts you’re struggling with. In our weekly working session, I’ll help you examine the approach, work through technical decisions and decide what to test next.

Teaching follows the project. One week we might map how information moves between departments. Another might involve comparing models, reviewing code or finding out why a seemingly good answer is wrong.

Between sessions, your team carries the work forward. We agree who will do that work and how much time they can realistically give it before we start.

02 / THE PROGRAMME
Here’s how we’ll
spend the 90 days.

Your team does the building. I help you work out the approach, review what you’ve tried and teach the skills needed for the next step.

DAYS 01–30
Get to know the problem

Follow the work, gather examples and agree what the prototype needs to do.
DAYS 31–60
Build a small version

Try the uncertain parts first. Bring what works, what breaks and your questions to our reviews.
DAYS 61–90
Decide whether it’s ready

Test it against the original problem, record the limits and work out what to do next.

WHAT WE WORK TOWARD
A clearly defined problem and a way to measure progress

A design showing how people, data, software and AI fit together

A tested prototype, with its limits written down

A record of the tests and a plan for the next step

WORKING TOGETHER
We meet each week to review the work. Between sessions, your team builds and tests. Before starting, we agree who’s involved and how much time they can give it.

The aim is a prototype your team understands well enough to evaluate and improve. Any further work to put it into production is scoped separately.
Tell me about your team

Who needs to be involved?

You need someone who understands and owns the business problem, plus someone able to build and test. They can be the same person. You’ll also need access to approved examples of the work.

For a dealer group, that might be an operations lead working with a developer. For an automotive software company, it could be a product manager and an engineer testing a new customer feature.

Before we begin.

Our first conversation covers the project, your team and the help you need. If it looks like a good fit, I’ll set out the scope, schedule and fee. We also agree confidentiality, ownership, access and which tools we’ll use.

Investment is discussed on that call. Any tool subscriptions, specialist development or production integrations are identified separately in the proposal.

Want to understand the approach first? Read about Intent-to-System Engineering or look through the example automotive projects.

Meet your next
generation of builders.

I’m exploring a pathway for local university students and interns to join supervised dealer-group projects. They would learn by doing, while your team gets to know their work.
Help shape the university & talent pathway

START WITH A CONVERSATION
Tell me what you’re working on.

A few lines about the problem and your team are enough to start. We can talk through the rest together.
