Support
For processes that are not ready yet: we prepare and optimize them, all the way to automation. The path is built on what the diagnostic reveals.
Right for you if the verdict is "Prepare the ground".
Training
We train your teams to prepare their processes for automation.
Right for you if you want to do it yourselves.
Approach
Three steps, then the verdict decides what comes next
From the first call to the verdict, with the people who run the process.
First call
30 minutes to pin down the process and the question you are asking.
Diagnostic workshop
One day per process, with the people who run it, in VerdiktNow.
Report and debrief
We hand you the report, then present it to your leadership and to your teams.
Depending on the verdict
Automate first
It goes to the top of your roadmap. You automate it with the vendor of your choice.
Plan
Easy to automate: you schedule it when your capacity allows.
Prepare the ground
We prepare and optimize the process with you, until it is ready.
Set aside for now
You avoid an unjustified investment, and you know what to improve before reassessing.
Method
How VerdiktNow decides
VerdiktNow is online software operated by Axenor Conseil Inc. We use it with you during the diagnostic workshop.
1 · Readiness
30 statements, 6 levers
- Standardization & stability
- Rules & decisions
- Data & inputs
- Volume & repetitiveness
- Technical feasibility
- Risk & governance
Each statement spells out what every score means, in observable facts. The process context can lower an overly optimistic score, never raise it.
2 · Value
The five-year return
The five-year net present value, scenarios, and the assumption that weighs most on the result.
3 · Decision
The two axes meet
On the Value × Readiness matrix, the quadrant gives the verdict. The roadmap follows: a process that is not ready gets no deployment plan, but an upgrade and then a reassessment.
No flattering scores
The context corrects downward, never upward.

The process is not ready yet?
That is a useful answer in itself. We prepare it with you, by optimizing what holds it back, then we reassess it with the same grid.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a diagnostic cost?
We quote it after the first call, based on the number of processes and the format, on site or remote.
Is the 30-minute call free?
Yes, with no commitment.
Who should take part in the workshop?
The people who run the process every day, and the person accountable for it.
Does our information stay confidential?
Yes. We sign a confidentiality agreement if you wish. In VerdiktNow, your processes, assessments and roadmaps are hosted in Montréal.
We have already chosen a vendor. Is it too late?
No, it is actually the right time: before you sign, the diagnostic checks that the process is ready and that the return on investment holds.
If you sell no solution, who does the automation?
The vendor of your choice: that choice is yours. The report is designed to be handed to them as is, and it answers most of the questions they would ask you.
Which organizations do you work with?
Organizations in every industry. We currently work in French.
