Find out where agents change the economics.
Four weeks. A ranked map of the workflows worth automating, and the ones that aren't.
An agent opportunity diagnostic is a four-week assessment that identifies which workflows in a fashion operation can be run by AI agents and which cannot. It produces a ranked map of candidate workflows with the token cost, latency, failure modes and human-oversight requirement scored for each.
Around 90% of AI projects in fashion stall at the pilot phase, predominantly because the underlying technology and data cannot support them (McKinsey, State of Fashion 2026). Most brands are choosing pilots by enthusiasm rather than by economics.

Board-ready summary of what not to build
Consulting installs it. The platform runs it.
This capability has a counterpart on McLeuker AI, the agentic platform the same team built and operates. The engagement is how it arrives inside your operation, loaded with your brand context; the platform is where it runs afterwards.
Diagnose. Four weeks, fixed fee.
A ranked map of what is worth automating, and what is not. You can stop here.
Diagnose
Where agents change the economics, and where they do not.
Design
Which agents, which tools, which data, which guardrails.
Deploy
Shipped into the operation with your context loaded.
Operate
Retained partnership, monthly sessions, continuous updates.
What buyers ask first.
What if the answer is that agents are not worth it here?
Then that is the deliverable, and it is the cheapest possible version of that finding. The map ranks what is not worth automating alongside what is. A four-week fixed fee to avoid an eighteen-month build is the point of the door.
Do we have to continue with McLeuker afterwards?
No. Diagnose is a closed engagement with a fixed fee and its own deliverable. The roadmap is yours, and it is written to be executable by whoever you choose.
How much of our team does this take?
Roughly two hours a week each from the leads in product, sourcing and commercial, plus system access for the data-readiness work. It is designed to run alongside a season, not to interrupt one.
What makes this different from a consultancy AI readiness assessment?
The scoring is done by people who operate an agentic platform in production. Token economics, latency budgets and failure modes are measured against a system we run, not estimated from vendor material.
