Six weeks. Cross-functional teams. Working prototypes, judged, with adoption decided on the day.

A build competition run across the organisation. Teams take a real business problem to a working AI prototype over six weeks, supported by four facilitated sessions and mentoring in between. It closes with a demo day where each prototype is judged and a live adopt, iterate or stop decision is taken. It is the part of the programme that turns training into something the business can point at.

Duration
6 weeks end to end
Facilitated sessions
4 sessions · 10 contact hours
Between sessions
Mentored build time, plus weekly office hours
Teams
Up to 12 teams of 4–6 people
Participants
Up to 60, cross-functional
Delivery
Virtual-first; demo day in person where possible

How the six weeks run

Week 0
Kickoff
3 hrs facilitated

Problem framing against real business pain, team formation, and scoping down to something buildable in six weeks. Most teams leave with a smaller problem than they arrived with.

Weeks 1–2
Mentored build
between sessions

Teams build. Stennir runs weekly office hours and is reachable between them.

Week 2
Build clinic
2 hrs facilitated

Mentored review of each team's first working version. Scope corrections happen here, and some teams are told to cut half of what they planned.

Weeks 3–4
Mentored build
between sessions

Teams harden. Office hours continue, now weighted towards evaluation and failure modes.

Week 4
Hardening clinic
2 hrs facilitated

Evaluations, guardrails, cost and the security questions each team must be able to answer on demo day. Teams attack each other's prototypes.

Weeks 5–6
Polish
between sessions

Final build, evidence gathering and rehearsal.

Week 6
Demo day
3 hrs facilitated

Each team demonstrates live to a judging panel of sponsors and leadership, then takes questions. Judging is scored against a published rubric.

How prototypes are judged on demo day

Business impact
Is the problem real, is it sized, and would solving it matter to somebody outside the team?
30%
Working prototype
Does it actually run on real data, in front of the room, without a rehearsed path?
25%
Evidence of quality
Is there an eval set, a measured result, and an honest account of where it fails?
20%
Responsible use
Data handling, guardrails, disclosure, and the security questions answered without hand-waving.

Adoption plan
Who owns it next, what it costs to run, and what would have to be true to put it in production.

Who is on a team

1 engineerBuilds the prototype and owns the technical decisions
1 product or analystOwns the problem definition and the evidence of value
2–3 function expertsBring the domain knowledge and judge whether output is actually correct
1 sponsor (part-time)Signs off the problem, attends demo day, owns the adoption decision

What the organisation gets

Outcomes

  • Up to twelve working prototypes built on the organisation's own data and systems
  • A ranked portfolio with a live adopt, iterate or stop decision recorded for each
  • A cohort of people who have now shipped something with AI rather than only studied it

Entry requirements

  • Every participant has completed the AI Foundations track
  • Each team needs at least one member at Advanced level or above
  • Each team needs a named business sponsor who will attend demo day
  • Problems must come from the sponsor's real backlog, not from a brainstorm
