AIBA: AI Business Analysis

A structured diagnostic methodology that analyses your business operations, identifies the real constraints holding you back, and builds an AI-powered roadmap for transformation.

The AIBA Process

A

Analyse

Map operations across 4 Engines to understand current state and identify constraints.

I

Identify

Classify constraints as Capacity, Knowledge, Process, or Scale using the CKPS framework.

B

Build

Develop recommendations using QDOAA: Quick wins, Departmental, Organisational, AI Automation, Advanced AI.

A

Advise

Map implementation to AI types: ML for prediction, Agentic for automation, RL for optimisation.

The 4 Engines Framework

Every business runs on four operational engines. AIBA analyses each one to find where constraints are limiting growth and where AI can create the most impact.

Revenue Engine

Sales pipelines, pricing models, customer acquisition, retention, and growth strategies.

Pipeline velocityConversion ratesCustomer lifetime valueRevenue concentration
Operations Engine

Processes, workflows, resource allocation, capacity planning, and operational efficiency.

Manual bottlenecksProcess redundancyResource utilisationThroughput limits
Compliance Engine

Regulatory requirements, risk management, audit readiness, and governance frameworks.

Regulatory gapsRisk exposureAudit preparation timePolicy currency
Data Engine

Data infrastructure, analytics capabilities, reporting, and decision intelligence.

Data silosReporting latencyData qualityAnalytics maturity

Constraint Classification (CKPS)

Every constraint falls into one of four categories. Understanding the type determines the solution.

Capacity

Not enough people, time, or resources to handle demand.

Knowledge

Lacking expertise, training, or information to execute effectively.

Process

Inefficient workflows, manual steps, or poor system integration.

Scale

Current approach doesn't scale with growth. Infrastructure ceiling.
