• Platform selection cycles run 2–6 months - most of that time is discovery, capability mapping, and alignment (Gartner, 2024)
• 43% of implementations underdeliver due to platform-to-workflow mismatch at point of selection (McKinsey Digital, 2024)
• Implementation partners spend 15-25% of pre-sales capacity producing assessment artefacts from scratch, for every prospect
• Recommendation quality varies by consultant: same prospect, different output
• No single consultant carries complete current knowledge across platform capabilities, integration catalogs, and release cycles

PlatformRoadmap Agent runs on a proprietary RAG architecture - vectorised platform documentation, integration catalogs, practitioner workflow patterns, and verified success stories with citations. It produces a complete, cited assessment in minutes: required capabilities, tier recommendation, integration landscape with explicit gap flagging, and a phased implementation roadmap. Pre-configured for Asana, Monday.com, Atlassian, HubSpot, Sprout Social.

Can be configured to other platforms in CRM, ERP, CWM, PSA within 10-20 working days.

Knowledge architecture

Multi-layer RAG corpus: platform documentation, native and non-native integration resources, practitioner-authored workflow patterns, verified success stories with citations, and community implementation intelligence.

Workflow library‍

40+ validated workflow patterns across media and advertising, financial services, e-commerce, and legal services. Capability requirements, stage gates, role ownership, handoff triggers, and failure mode mapping per pattern.

Capability assessment

Required capabilities identified per use-case with implication-if-missing analysis for every line - giving prospects the commercial case for each requirement without additional authoring.

Tier recommendation‍

Platform tier recommended against workflow requirements. Lower-tier gap analysis included - what breaks, and why, at each tier below the recommendation.

Integration landscape‍

Native coverage assessed first. iPaaS requirements and known limitations flagged explicitly where native coverage falls short.

Implementation roadmap‍

Phased delivery plan per assessment: discovery, build, pilot, security controls, rollout. Duration estimates and key outputs per phase, validated against live delivery patterns.

Platform extension‍

New SaaS platforms onboarded within 10–20 working days. Documentation vectorised, workflow patterns built, integration catalog mapped.

• Pre-sales assessment cycle cut from weeks to hours
• Consistent recommendation quality regardless of consultant seniority or platform familiarity
• Every recommendation defensible - backed by citations and implication-if-missing analysis
• Integration risks identified at assessment stage, not mid-delivery
• Self-service discovery path for prospects - no consultant required to move from brief to roadmap
• New platform or vertical coverage live within a month
