Find Out Where Your Developer Capacity Is Leaking
A one-day, on-your-real-work capacity diagnosis for controls integration and industrial automation firms. Your developers show us how the work actually flows. You leave with the bottlenecks named, the practical AI-assisted workflow opportunities ranked, and a 90-day implementation roadmap — whether or not you ever go further.
01 The Problem
You suspect there's capacity on the table. You can't see it from where you sit.
Your developers are busy — maybe too busy. Documentation slips, knowledge concentrates in your senior people, and every project seems to need the same two or three hands.
Some of your developers are probably already experimenting with AI tools. Maybe it's helping. Maybe it's a distraction. From the owner's chair, you genuinely can't tell — and you're not going to restructure how your team works based on a vendor's promise or a developer's enthusiasm.
What you need first is a diagnosis: where capacity is actually being lost, which AI-assisted workflows would actually recover it, and what the risks actually are. On your projects, your tools, your team — not someone's demo.
That's what this workshop is.
02 How the Day Works
// The Method
We don't present. We watch your team work.
The single most valuable part of the day: your developers screen-share their own machines and walk through real work — a recently finished task in the morning, an in-progress task in the afternoon. An HMI build, a PLC/SCADA change, a legacy code investigation, a handoff document. Real work, real tools, no staging.
One day. 9:00 to 4:00. No slides, no toy demos, no prompt-of-the-week tips.
[AM] Morning — Where is capacity being lost?
- Map your delivery process from intake through commissioning and handoff
- Scan current AI usage and set data-handling boundaries before anything goes on screen
- Developer screen share: recently completed work — where the time actually went
- Build the first ranked list of practical workflow opportunities
[PM] Afternoon — What do we do about it?
- Developer screen share: work in progress — where AI assistance has leverage right now
- Rank the opportunities by impact, repeatability, effort, and risk
- Select the first workflow and sketch it in enough detail that your team could run it
- Walk the 90-day implementation roadmap and capture your decision inputs
A note for your developers: the screen shares are about observing how work flows, not evaluating how anyone works.
03 Is This Your Firm?
[✓] The workshop fits if you
- Run a controls integration or industrial automation firm with an internal development team
- Have more demand than your current capacity comfortably supports — or are hiring ahead and want new developers productive faster
- Want a clear-eyed read on AI-assisted workflows before standardizing or expanding anything
- Can make 1–4 developers available for one day, with real project work to show
[✕] It doesn't fit if you want
- Generic AI training for the team
- A vendor pitch wearing a workshop costume
- A free consultation — this is a paid working session, and that's why it produces real outputs
04 Why Cascade
Built from the field, not from the hype cycle.
Behind Cascade are 30 years of engineering, systems, software, and technical delivery experience — hardware, embedded systems, controls-adjacent work, and AI/ML. On a utility-scale solar project involving legacy IEC code and thin documentation, these AI-assisted workflows cut expected development time roughly in half.
The workshop applies that experience to your team's actual work, for one day, with everything written down.
We do not measure AI adoption. We measure capacity.
05 What You Leave With
What you leave with
| Workshop Component | Estimated Value |
|---|---|
| Cascade 90-Day Implementation Roadmap | $2,500 |
| Cascade AI Workflow Opportunity Map | $2,000 |
| Cascade Priority Workflow Selection Session | $1,750 |
| Cascade Capacity Bottleneck Review | $1,500 |
| Cascade Risk and Governance Quick Scan | $1,500 |
| Cascade Executive Decision Memo | $1,250 |
| Total estimated value | $10,500 |
Everything is built from your own work during the day — and everything is yours to keep, whether or not you continue into the program. The one-page Executive Decision Memo arrives within days of the workshop: findings, top opportunities, key risks, and a recommended next step you can hand to a partner.
06 Price
Enroll in the 90-Day Controls Developer Capacity Cascade within 30 days, and your full workshop fee is credited toward the program. Start small, decide with evidence, and pay nothing extra for having started small.
If you don't continue — you've bought a capacity diagnosis, a ranked opportunity map, a governance scan, and a 90-day roadmap your team can act on by themselves.
One day. Your real work. A measurable answer.
Book the workshop, or schedule a short call first if you'd rather talk it through — we'll tell you honestly whether the workshop is the right starting point for your firm.
Where this leads
The workshop stands on its own. But for most firms it's the first step into the 90-Day Controls Developer Capacity Cascade — the done-with-you implementation program that turns the workshop's findings into installed workflows, a shared team playbook, and measured capacity gains. Your workshop findings become the program's starting point: no re-diagnosis, no starting over — and your full workshop fee is credited.
