01 / TheOven
Augmented ideas
We are a small team of designers, writers, marketers, technologists and business thinkers.
We cook up ideas and help companies in digital with technology, vision and judgement. TheOven is not a slide factory. It is a working room for prototypes, digital products and systems that need taste, speed and technical depth in the same place.
Start a project02 / What we do
Process refactoring at scale. with Speed, Altitude, Depth and Range.
TheOven sits with your team, sees how the work gets done today and redesigns each process so AI runs in production, reliably, across the business.
After 20 years working with all kinds of clients on data and automation, we are convinced there is no silver bullet. Every client has its own context, tech stack, needs and priorities. That is why we solve this with a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) methodology.
The models are ready. Most processes aren't. We refactor them.
Speed
The baseline: the same work, in less time.
A prototype in 2–3 weeks and each process in production in a month. Value in weeks, not months.
Altitude
The outcome, not the task.
We don't speed up one step: with the C-level we pick the processes that weigh the most and redesign each one whole, around the result the business wants.
Depth
The way the best in the field would do it.
We start from raw data (12 months of timesheet and your systems) and from your experts. We validate with real cases and hard exceptions, and an audit tells us whether it gets used.
Range
More disciplines than used to pay off.
Designers, writers, marketers, technologists and business thinkers in one team. What works in one team, unit or sector is reused in the others.
03 / Why FDE
Why this methodology, today
Four things we are sure of.
Context is the scarce part
You understand it by sitting next to the client, not from a list of requirements.
Value in weeks, not months
Something that works on real data, fast.
What repeats becomes a product
The FDE solves it; the product scales it.
Technology isn't the bottleneck. Access is.
Access to the right people and data.
04 / Process
We start with the outcome.
Six phases. One process a month. Six every six months.
- 01
Init
CEO message, C-level and timesheet
- 02
Discover
From 20–30 processes to the 6 that matter
- 03
Prototype
Working in 2–3 weeks
- 04
Validate
With the owner and the team
- 05
Go live
In production, adoption measured
- 06
Scale
The next one. What repeats becomes a product
- 1 month per process
- Every month: the next of the 6
- Every 6 months: 6 more, with the C-level
Adoption is measured, not assumed: the timesheet against our audit layer.
Underneath, AI Loops: a foundation (cloud, data and integrations), process refactoring and an AI layer, fully auditable and well governed.
