The RAPID© method to integrate AI into your company, without breaking it
The manual for integrating AI into an SMB, written by two practitioners who have used AI internally since 2013 and deployed it with clients since 2023. Five phases, forty templates to use as-is, and a clear promise: a first visible result at 90 days, or we tell you before committing.
The authors
2 pioneers of tech and AI
Pascal ROCHE
Co-founder and CTO — Apps Velocity
Co-founder and architect of Apps Velocity (2013). Creator of Beyond Coder, the in-house AI-assisted coding approach used internally from 2013 — ten years before the ChatGPT boom. Today, installs AI into real enterprise systems, with real constraints: GDPR, legacy, tight budgets.
The method
5 strategic phases to succeed
in your AI transformation
Each phase is a step you validate before moving to the next. You keep control, you keep the budget, you see what is delivered. No phase starts until the previous one has produced its result.
Review
We look at what exists in your company: where the data is, which processes are heavy, who does what. No audit dragging on.
2-4 weeksAnalyze
We extract two or three use cases that actually pay off, costed, presented to your leadership. The rest waits.
2-3 weeksPilot
We build the first use case for real, in your environment. Not a demo, a version that runs.
4-8 weeksIterate
We fix, we adjust, and we move to the second case. What works stays; what doesn't is cut, period.
3-6 monthsDeploy
We expand to all your teams, with clear rules: who can use what, with which data, under what supervision.
