AI Diagnostic
Five days inside your company. Your processes mapped role by role, use cases costed, a prioritized roadmap. The amount is deducted from the first sprint if you continue with me.
Diagnostic, training for your teams, automation and custom tools. Delivered in five-day sprints, at a fixed price, by an engineer who puts AI systems into production. No slides gathering dust in a drawer: systems that work.
An SME does not buy artificial intelligence. It buys back hours: quotes sent out the same day, a reception desk that answers after 7 pm, follow-ups that never get forgotten, reporting that builds itself.
The problem is not access to technology. It is that no one comes to install it: connecting the tools to your real files, training your teams on their own work, and staying until it runs.
That is the work Cinq does. The same work I do for large corporations, brought down to the format and budget of an SME.
Five days inside your company. Your processes mapped role by role, use cases costed, a prioritized roadmap. The amount is deducted from the first sprint if you continue with me.
Your teams trained on their own files, not on generic examples. One day on-site or remote, concrete cases from your business, habits that stick the following Monday.
An automated process or a tool delivered into production: customer follow-ups, quote generation, document extraction, reporting, an internal agent. The scope is fixed in the quote, the price is fixed before the start.
Your systems maintained, your teams followed up, a new use case reviewed every month. Your company's AI has an owner, without creating the position.
Every engagement starts with the Diagnostic. It sets the scope of the sprints and ensures we automate what pays off, not what impresses.
Scoping. Scope signed off, access granted, points of contact identified.
Immersion. Your processes observed role by role, with the people who run them.
Findings. Initial gains identified and costed. You realign if needed.
Roadmap. Priorities, costs, expected returns, technical prerequisites.
Decision. You leave with an executable plan. With me, or without me.
Every offer follows the same discipline: a closed scope, a price known in advance, an end date. No billing by time spent, no engagement that drags on, no engineered dependency.
Cinq is run by Baptiste Bouault. Each project below is documented as a full case study, problem, decision, trade-off, result, published under his name. Click to read.
An optical and hearing-aid retail network answers its customers with AI, on real calls, every day. Detailed reference available on request.
Raw billing data from six stores turned into leadership decisions: geo-marketing, competition, scenario simulation.
Cyber-resilience scores that were dropping with no explanation. Engine rebuilt until it reproduced the scores to the hundredth, root cause identified.
When a prospect asks an AI which provider to choose, what does it say about you? A tool that measures this without biasing the answer.
Working notes turned into executive committee presentations by an agent, with human validation at every step and visual control of every slide.
Moving from individual use to a shared, reproducible agentic workflow, with automatic onboarding. Exactly what a Cinq training installs at your company.

Baptiste Bouault, 22 years old. ESSEC (Data & AI) and UC Berkeley. Chief Technology Officer of an AI company, after six months of consulting for major French corporations and a co-founded product built up to 2,500 paying users.
I have spent the past few years putting AI systems into production, not talking about them. Cinq is the workshop through which this expertise becomes accessible to SMEs: same standards, short format, fixed price.
You work with me from the first call through to go-live. No salesperson, no outsourced junior, no platform.
Because everything starts with a five-day sprint. That is the length of the Diagnostic, the base unit of every engagement, and the promise: a start, an end, a deliverable. No engagement that settles in.
Because the risk should sit on my side, not yours. A fixed price forces me to scope things seriously before starting, and lets you decide with a final figure, not an estimate that keeps growing.
No, that is the case for most of my clients. Systems are delivered with training for your teams and documentation in French. The goal is your autonomy, not your dependency.
Whichever fit your case and your budget: commercial language models, workflow automation, custom tools when justified. I have no commercial agreement with any vendor, so the recommendation is never biased.
Every engagement starts with a non-disclosure agreement. Data stays with you or on GDPR-compliant services, and the diagnostic spells out in writing what moves where.
A free thirty-minute call, to check whether a diagnostic makes sense for you. If it does not, I will tell you, and you will still leave with two or three actionable leads.
