The CleanSlate SCALE Model

Most technology engagements are defined by what gets built. We define ours by what changes for your organization.

How It Works

How a CleanSlate Engagement Actually Runs

SCALE is not a product. It is how we engage. Every CleanSlate engagement follows the same three-phase model, whether you start with a COBRA™ assessment or come to us knowing exactly what you need to build.

ASSESS

Know where to start.
Identify and prioritize.

Powered by COBRA™

ACTIVATE

Move faster.
Deliver real value.

Production-Grade AI

EVOLVE

Optimize and sustain.
Scale what works.

Govern · Optimize · Scale · Realize

Assess with COBRA™  ·  ACTIVATE with Confidence  ·  EVOLVE for Lasting Impact

01

ASSESS

Know where to start. Before choosing a path, you need to understand your current environment, your real constraints, and where AI can actually create value. That is what COBRA™ figures out.

AI Opportunity Assessment

Identify which use cases justify investment and which are chasing novelty. Prioritize before you commit resources.

Data Readiness Review

Understand whether your data foundation can support the AI initiatives leadership is asking for.

Infrastructure Evaluation

A clear picture of what you have, what it costs, and what needs to change before you can move forward.

Sequenced Roadmap

A prioritized, funded roadmap that tells you what to do, in what order, and what it will cost. The roadmap is yours to keep.

Fully funded in most cases. COBRA™ is a structured assessment, in most cases fully funded through AWS partner programs, that takes 4–6 hours of your team's time and delivers results in 2–3 weeks. No obligation to continue.

Generative AI

We apply it to the use cases that change how you work, what you sell, or what it costs you to operate.

Data Lakehouse & Analytics

The governed data foundation every AI initiative depends on. You build it once and the next use case does not start over. Not a data lake. A Data Lakehouse.

AI Accelerators

Production-ready building blocks we assemble into your environment. The hard parts are already built. We customize around your business.

Cloud Migration & Modernization

The foundation AI sits on. Move off legacy infrastructure or get the value you expected when you migrated.

02

ACTIVATE

Move faster. Deliver real value. Once you know where to go, we assemble production-grade solutions, frameworks, accelerators, and IP to get you from roadmap to results.

03

EVOLVE

Optimize and sustain. Once you are implementing, we help you operationalize, govern, and continuously improve what you have built so it compounds over time.

Govern

Establish trust, security, and responsible AI practices. Governance built in from the start so leadership can approve production deployments.

Optimize

Measure performance and drive efficiencies. Costs come down and stay down. What you built improves as your data and usage grows.

Scale

Expand capabilities across the enterprise. What worked in one business unit gets rolled out organization-wide.

Realize

Deliver measurable business outcomes. The results are tracked, reported, and tied back to the original business case from the Assess phase.

What Makes This Different

We Define Engagements by What Changes,
Not What Gets Built

Most technology engagements are scoped around deliverables. A migration. A deployment. A tool. We scope ours around outcomes, and the SCALE model is how we enforce that discipline across every phase.

The typical approach
Scope defined by deliverables, not outcomes
Assessment skipped to move faster to selling
Pilots that succeed in demos but stall in production
Dependency created, not capability transferred
No measurement against the original business case
The SCALE Model
Scope defined by what changes for your organization
Assess before recommending, always
Production-grade delivery from day one
Your team can operate and extend what we build
Outcomes tracked back to the original business case
Ready to Start?

Not Sure Where You Are in the Journey?

COBRA™ is the fastest way to find out. A structured assessment that tells you exactly where you stand and what to do next, at no cost to you.

On the commitment question
The roadmap is yours. There is no obligation to continue with CleanSlate, contractual or otherwise.
On self-sufficiency
We transfer capability, not dependency. Your team should be able to operate and extend what we build without us.
On cost
In most cases the assessment is fully funded through AWS partner programs. We confirm your eligibility in the first call.
No Commitment Required
