For AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft partner teams

Know before
you fund.

Most AI pilots stall not because of the technology. Because the organisation was never ready to run one. NORTH Build is instrumented from the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud architectural frameworks. It tells you which organisations meet your standards before you commit the credit.

The status quo
Credits don't stall. Organisations do.
Credits don't stall. Organisations do. The technology is available. The credits are allocated. But the organisation's data governance is unresolved. The architecture decision is in committee. The sponsoring executive has moved on. The pilot was never going to ship.
Readiness is invisible at the point of funding. You can assess technical fit and commercial appetite. You cannot assess execution readiness from the outside. The organisation presents well in the intake conversation. The blockers surface six weeks in. When it is too late.
Stalled pilots compound. Each one erodes the account relationship. Reduces credit renewal probability. Produces a case study that goes the wrong way. The cost of funding the wrong POV is not just the credit. It is the cycle, the relationship, and the next conversation.
A better way
Built from your frameworks.
Not ours.

NORTH Build is not a proprietary methodology. Every scenario is derived from the AWS Well-Architected Framework, the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework, and the Google Cloud Architecture Framework. We do not ask organisations to learn a new compliance language. We ask them to demonstrate, through scenario-based decisions, where they already align with the standards your services require. And where they do not. The output is a constraint map that speaks directly to the service-specific requirements of Bedrock, AI Foundry, and Vertex AI. Readiness through alignment. Not abstraction.

What NORTH Build delivers
Three things that change your funding decision.
01
Your framework standards. Their scenario choices.

The leadership team completes NORTH Build in under 25 minutes. Every scenario is calibrated against the AWS Well-Architected Framework, the Azure Well-Architected Framework, and the Google Cloud Architecture Framework. You receive dimension scores across data readiness, architecture decision velocity, leadership alignment, and governance maturity. Derived from choices. Not declarations.

02
The blockers named before they become incidents.

NORTH's output identifies the specific execution constraints most likely to stall the pilot. These are scenario-derived signals — not survey answers. The constraint map speaks directly to the service-specific requirements of Bedrock, AI Foundry, and Vertex AI. A qualification decision in the language your architects already use.

03
A readiness threshold across your entire pipeline.

Every organisation in your co-investment pipeline can be assessed. Identify patterns across sectors, deal sizes, and geographies. Build a data-backed readiness threshold for POV funding — and refine it as your portfolio grows.

What's included
The qualification layer your pipeline is missing.
NORTH Build pilot qualification diagnostic

Deployable to any organisation in your pipeline before funding is confirmed.

Execution constraint map per organisation

The specific blockers to successful pilot completion. In a shareable artefact.

Portfolio-level readiness intelligence

Aggregated signals across your full co-investment pipeline, updated as new organisations complete the diagnostic.

Framework-aligned qualification criteria

Built from the explicit design principles of the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud architectural frameworks. The qualification language your architecture teams already speak.

The process
Three steps. Fund the right ones.
01 — IDENTIFY
Select the organisations where readiness is uncertain.

No minimum size. The diagnostic works at any stage of the pipeline conversation.

02 — ASSESS
Send NORTH Build. They complete it in under 25 minutes.

No facilitation required on your end. The leadership team completes the diagnostic independently.

03 — DECIDE
Fund the execution-ready. Build a path for the rest.

You receive the constraint map. The funding decision is grounded in evidence. The conversations that are not ready become productive. Not wasted.

Ready to move

The pilots that will convert are
identifiable before you fund them.

We can show you how.
