Project scope
What will be built and how to check that each deliverable is complete.
- Features and requirements
- The new workflow
- Acceptance criteria for each deliverable
Know what to build.
And what it could cost.
Turn an operational challenge into a clear project plan. Genia understands the problem, designs the solution and estimates the investment so you can decide before you build.
A basis for approving the investment and comparing proposals.
Blueprint delivers the project plan.
Assessing your operations
Before proposing a solution, Genia understands how the process works today. We measure volume, time, cost, errors and rework to assess the problem and guide the project.
01
Understand the problem
The processes, people, systems and numbers behind your current operations.
02
Design the solution
What needs to be done and how the parts will work together.
03
Plan the implementation
Team, phases, estimated timeline, investment and risks.
What you receive
A documented project plan, from assessment to implementation planning. Understand the solution, assess the investment and compare proposals on a clear basis.
Solution architecture
A design showing how systems, data and technologies need to work together.
- Architecture and technology choices
- Integrations, confirmed or still to be validated
- Privacy and security requirements
Estimated investment
What it could cost to build and maintain the solution over 36 months.
- Effort, team and estimated timeline
- Development and operating costs
- Risks and ways to reduce them
Documents and handover meeting
- Full report
- The assessment, solution and implementation plan in one document.
- Editable spreadsheet
- Open assumptions and calculations, so you can follow the numbers and simulate changes.
- Supporting documents
- Evidence and records supporting project decisions.
- Handover meeting
- Genia presents the project plan, explains the choices and answers your questions.
Estimated
investment
Blueprint estimates what it costs to build and maintain the solution over 36 months. This includes deployment, operations and costs that vary with usage, such as AI models.
The calculations and assumptions are provided in an editable spreadsheet. You can see where the numbers come from and model changes to the plan.
Investment plan
Initial investment
- Development
- Effort and team roles
- Integrations
- Systems, APIs and data
- Implementation plan
- Phases and estimated timeline
The estimated investment to turn the plan into a working solution.
Operating costs
- Variable usage costs
- APIs and AI models, if included
- Infrastructure
- Resources the solution needs
- Ongoing costs
- Keeping the solution running and secure
How operating costs change with usage volume.
Projected total cost over 36 months
- Development and deployment
- Investment to put the solution into use
- Operations over time
- Fixed costs and variable usage costs
- Assumptions and calculations
- Available for review and scenario modeling
The projected total investment to build and maintain the solution.
Estimates are specific to each project. Final costs depend on scope, provider and actual usage.
How Blueprint works
-
Understand and measure
We map your operations and measure the impact of the problem.
-
Design
We define the scope, architecture and integrations.
-
Estimate
We estimate the team, timeline and costs. We identify the risks.
-
Review and deliver
Another professional reviews the plan. We present the decisions in a meeting.
For decision-making
Investment, expected returns and risks to help you decide and compare proposals.
For implementation
Scope and a technical plan for Genia or your chosen provider.
Plan your project with Blueprint
Understand the problem, assess the investment and decide your next step with a structured project plan.
Plan my projectDoes Blueprint include development?
Blueprint delivers the project plan that guides implementation. Building the solution is the next step, if you decide to proceed. You can use the documents to continue with Genia or request proposals from other providers.
Do I need a fully formed idea?
No. You can start with an operational problem. Genia talks to the people who know and carry out the process, understands the workflow and measures its impact before designing the solution.
What types of projects does Blueprint cover?
There are three areas: AI and automation; development of platforms, systems, applications and integrations; and cloud and infrastructure, including migrations. In the initial conversation, we define the level of detail your challenge requires.
Will I know exactly what the solution will cost?
You receive an estimate of development costs and the projected total cost over 36 months, with transparent assumptions and calculations. It provides a basis for decisions, not a guaranteed final price: implementation costs depend on the agreed proposal, and consumption costs vary with usage.
Can I take the plan to another company for development?
Yes. The documents provide a reference for requesting proposals with a clear scope and objective criteria. This lets you compare what each provider is offering. You can also continue with Genia for implementation.
Will I understand the deliverables without a technical background?
Yes. The report includes a summary for decision-making, covering the current situation, recommendation, investment and risks. In the handover meeting, Genia explains the choices and answers questions. The technical details guide the implementation team.
How much does Blueprint cost and how long does it take?
The depth of the work depends on the complexity of the challenge. Talk to Genia about the timeline and investment for your Blueprint.
What does my company need to provide?
An internal project owner, someone who knows the process in depth, and access to the necessary systems and data, with authorization for the assessment. Your team also helps measure and validate the numbers. The people who decide the next steps take part in the handover.
Does the plan also cover privacy and security?
Yes. Blueprint defines requirements for data protection compliance (such as Brazil’s LGPD), data use and retention, access controls and security within the architecture. Offensive testing and vulnerability investigation are part of Genia Safe.
