§ 01Private equity · portfolio operations
Find the useful AI work hiding in your portfolio.
Start with a free, metadata-only AI and data opportunity audit. Identify one valuable AI improvement and whether eligible licensing could help fund it. Review up to three companies, choose one workflow each, and leave with a prioritized 30-day value plan—even if no licensing route fits.
Request the free audit →No confidential uploads. No licensing or purchase required. Funding depends on buyer approval and actual payment to the data owner.
§ 02From a portfolio view to one useful trial
Map the opportunity
Describe the workflow, owner, systems, and data categories. We assess potential internal value and label what still needs evidence.
Prioritize 30 days
Choose what to validate first: baseline and permissions in week one, a bounded trial in weeks two and three, then review the evidence and decide in week four.
Choose the next step
Keep the plan and execute internally, or request a separately scoped implementation quote. Optional licensing exploration is a separate decision.
§ 03The audit, made concrete
An evidence-first scorecard.
Illustrative specimen, not a client result. Each dimension is marked ready, needs validation, or blocked. Unknowns stay unknown; a combined score cannot override missing permissions.
| Dimension | What we inspect | Example finding |
|---|---|---|
| Operating value | Name the recurring cost or delay | Scheduling handoffs; baseline still unknown |
| Workflow readiness | One owner and a measurable trial | Operations owner to confirm review time |
| Data readiness | Categories, systems, coverage, quality | Job timestamps in ERP; completeness unverified |
| Rights & controls | Permission, restrictions, human review | External rights unknown; no sharing |
| Licensing fit (optional) | Distinct utility and permission to explore | Unassessed; no buyer or revenue assumption |
Example priority: validate scheduling handoffs before building. Week 1: confirm owner, permissions, and baseline. Weeks 2–3: trial a human-reviewed handoff checklist. Week 4: compare review time and corrections, then decide whether to stop, revise, or scope implementation.

Optional implementation · specimen scope
One company. One workflow. A bounded 30-day trial.
An illustrative next step: establish a baseline, build a human-reviewed prototype, evaluate it against agreed checks, and hand the workflow to its operator. Delivery could include the baseline, working prototype, evaluation readout, and operator guide. Acceptance would require the agreed test cases and human review controls to pass, with limitations documented.
Final scope, access requirements, acceptance criteria, schedule, and price are quoted separately after the audit. This is an example, not an included build or automatic commitment.
§ 04Optional data licensing
A separate route, when the rights and demand exist.
The supplier receives buyer payment under the licensing agreement. Any referral fee is separate. Actual supplier proceeds may fund implementation after payment is received, under a separately agreed scope. We do not assume a buyer, payout, or funding amount in your value plan.
The audit is free regardless. Before any named-buyer introduction or sharing, you decide whether to proceed and approve the specific buyer and material separately.
§ 05Request the audit
Start with descriptions, not datasets.
Start with your contact details, a company label, and one workflow you are authorized to describe. Systems, industry, and data categories are optional; unknowns can be resolved in the review. An alias is fine. We will use these profiles for your audit and direct follow-up.
Scope: up to three companies, one workflow each, operator review, and a prioritized 30-day plan. Implementation, detailed diligence, and legal review are outside the free audit.
FAQ
Questions operators ask about this workflow.
01What is free, and what is the boundary?
The free audit covers up to three company metadata profiles, one recurring workflow per company, an operator review, and a prioritized 30-day value plan. It does not include system access, data extraction, legal review, prototypes, or implementation. It is a starting-point assessment, distinct from our paid $12,500 AI Opportunity Audit, which investigates one operating workflow in depth.
02Do we need to license data to get the audit?
No. You receive the free audit whether or not you explore licensing, introductions, or paid work. Internal AI and workflow improvements can stand on their own. Licensing is optional and depends on rights, demand, and a separate agreement.
03Who gets paid if a licensing agreement happens?
The supplier receives the buyer’s payment under its agreed terms. Any referral fee is separate and must be disclosed and agreed independently. Actual supplier proceeds may fund a separately scoped implementation after payment is received. There is no advance, guaranteed buyer, guaranteed payout, or promised project funding.
04Will you send our information to buyers?
This intake does not authorize buyer sharing. Before a named-buyer introduction, Sprinter will seek separate consent specifying the buyer and the permitted material. No confidential data or sample records belong in this form.
05What happens after the plan?
You can execute it internally, defer, or ask for a separately quoted implementation. A proposal defines the workflow, deliverables, acceptance checks, responsibilities, timing, and price. Nothing starts automatically, and no purchase is required.
06How do we receive the review?
Submit the metadata-only form. A saved confirmation means the request is in our follow-up queue. Sprinter reviews it and replies directly to coordinate the operator review and return the plan. There is no instant automated audit or promised turnaround.
