We start with “why”. What outcome are you aiming for? Are you trying to automate a task, improve decision-making, personalise experiences, or something else? AI is a tool, not a strategy. It only makes sense when it’s solving a business problem that matters.
We ask clients to define clear and measurable expectations: How accurate does the system need to be? What’s the acceptable margin of error? What’s the threshold where it stops being helpful or safe? Getting this right early avoids misaligned delivery later.
We assess the quality, volume, and representativeness of your data. Are there gaps? Are both positive and negative scenarios covered? Can we validate outputs against a trusted source? If not, do we need a manual review process in place?
Some organisations can’t allow data to leave their environment. We ask: Are there hosting constraints? Do you need containerised services? These choices influence the architecture and feasibility of a project.
We surface obligations up front: Is this project impacted by health data laws, financial services regulation, GDPR-style privacy requirements, or internal governance? These factors will shape what can be built and how it must be deployed.
We ask who is accountable for the ethical use of the model. That includes bias, explainability, transparency, and unintended harm. Ethical AI isn’t just about fairness, it’s about reducing organisational risk, legal exposure, and reputational damage.
Knowing a client’s maturity helps us tailor the approach. Are you just starting out or do you already have a data science team? This changes how we engage, what kind of support is needed, and how we frame delivery milestones.
AI projects don’t end at deployment. Models degrade. Business contexts change. We ask how outputs will be monitored over time and who will be responsible for acting on issues before the model causes problems for customers or the business.
We ask who’s going to own the model once it’s live. AI systems need ongoing maintenance. That includes updates, retraining, performance checks, and user feedback loops. Without a clear owner, models quietly degrade or get sidelined.
Not everything needs AI. Sometimes, a simple rules engine, workflow automation, or analytics dashboard delivers faster results with less overhead. Just because AI can be used doesn’t mean it should.
By asking these questions early, we:

Travel businesses need systems that do the work with faster quotes, smarter pricing, and better traveller experiences. We’ve mapped the common travel challenges in the industry, and exactly how AI can solve them.
AI isn’t some futuristic toy we’re tinkering with on the side. It’s already woven into the way we get work done at Kiandra. Whether it's helping sift through mountains of invoices or modernising stubborn legacy code, we’re using AI to tackle the headaches that come with real-world software delivery.
In transport and logistics, most operators don’t need to be sold on the benefits of AI, they just need a clear path to making it work. This blog post outlines the most common challenges we see across logistics businesses, and how AI, when implemented correctly, can solve them and improve performance.
