Or not. We don't need to know Oracle's solutions a priori to design the best possible agnostic architecture.
We start from the problem, not the tool. Freedom to think outside the stack ensures the best possible architecture before mapping it to specific solutions.
Once the design is complete, we partner with the Oracle team to co-build the solution — without constraining strategic thinking to the tech catalog.
“We joke about the ‘or not’ because we don't need to know Oracle's solutions a priori to create the best possible design — agnostic. Once the design is done, we count on the Oracle team to build it together.”
— GZero, engagement premiseMutual alignment: who we are, where you are, and where we want to go together.
Institutional presentation, areas of focus and related cases — so the client understands the repertoire that supports our design decisions.
History, current moment, and future intentions. Deep understanding of the strategic context before any technical decision.
We leave this phase with a shared vocabulary, preliminary value hypotheses, and clarity on the project's ambitions.
Technical deep dive: materials, architecture, requirements, and integrations.
Map the universe of opportunities and decide what matters first.
Survey of journeys, friction points, automation opportunities, and impact zones where agents can unlock real value for the client.
Joint definition of criteria — business value, technical feasibility, data readiness, time-to-value — to decide which fronts go first.
Backlog organized by delivery waves, with explicit value hypotheses for each prioritized agent.
GZero's internal work. This is where the agnostic design takes shape.
Building the vision of the future: how the agent ecosystem operates, interacts, and generates value in the target state designed for the client.
Market benchmarking, mapping of emerging patterns in enterprise agents, and architectural references.
Design of the functional architecture, orchestration flows, governance models, and navigable blueprints of the prioritized agents.
Calibration moment: we align the design with the client and Oracle before moving into delivery.
We share the vision, functional architecture, and designed flows. We capture reactions, adjustments, and questions from stakeholders.
With the agnostic design validated, we sit with the Oracle team to map the best combination of platform components.
We leave the sync with locked scope, distributed responsibilities, and an agreed delivery schedule.
Three concrete deliverables on the table: a foundational report, a framework that becomes the client's new way of working with AI, and the scoping of the first MVP.
A consolidated report mapping the agent hypotheses and the workflows that ground them — the analytical foundation everything else is built on.
A framework that lets the client work with AI in a structured way — a new ways-of-work model designed to unlock internal innovation at scale.
We open Phase 3 — scoping the first MVP, a Staff Augmentation agent — while Delivery I and II are still being absorbed by the organization.
Accompanying the framework's adoption inside the organization — capturing what works, refining what doesn't, and preparing the ground for the MVP.
We track how teams are absorbing the framework — which rituals stick, which ones need tweaking, and where the operational bottlenecks are.
Systematic capture of insights from the framework's first weeks in use — patterns that feed directly into the design of the MVP.
Consolidation of technical, organizational, and data prerequisites for building the Staff Augmentation MVP agent in Delivery III.
The first agent in production: a Staff Augmentation MVP — concrete, measurable, and grounded in everything built across the previous deliverables.
Construction and deployment of one Staff Augmentation agent — selected from the prioritized backlog for its impact and feasibility — fully aligned with the Delivery II framework.
Structured knowledge transfer, operational documentation, and team enablement so the client can run, evolve, and replicate the MVP autonomously.
Impact assessment of the MVP, learnings consolidated across the program, and a clear horizon for the next agents to follow.
With strategic alignment done, we step into the optional training and onboarding before opening Moment 01 — where the real co-design begins.
