The Caelion Method — How we scope and deliver automation
Automation projects rarely fail because of technology. They fail because the buying and delivery process is vague. Our method is public — use it with us or with any other provider.
Phase 1 · Process X-ray
Deliverable: the Savings Report (one page): annual process cost, estimated savings and an honest verdict. If automation does not pay off, we say so.
Phase 2 · Four-week pilot
Deliverable: a system running in limited production, plus a measurable acceptance criterion agreed in writing. One process, one input type and one destination. Fixed price.
Phase 3 · Measurement
Deliverable: a before-and-after report in hours and euros, using the same standard format for every project. We measure ourselves against the number agreed before the pilot.
Phase 4 · Handover
Deliverable: code, documentation and credentials. The code is the deliverable, not a hostage: if you stop working with us tomorrow, the system keeps running. Monthly operations support is optional.
Why do we publish the templates?
Because a clear standard makes automation easier to buy. If another proposal cannot complete these sections in writing, it is not a scoped proposal — it is a promise.
