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.

02 / 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  1. Context is the scarce part

    You understand it by sitting next to the client, not from a list of requirements.

  2. Value in weeks, not months

    Something that works on real data, fast.

  3. What repeats becomes a product

    The FDE solves it; the product scales it.

  4. 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.

  1. 01

    Init

    CEO message, C-level and timesheet

  2. 02

    Discover

    From 20–30 processes to the 6 that matter

  3. 03

    Prototype

    Working in 2–3 weeks

  4. 04

    Validate

    With the owner and the team

  5. 05

    Go live

    In production, adoption measured

  6. 06

    Scale

    The next one. What repeats becomes a product

  1. 1 month per process
  2. Every month: the next of the 6
  3. 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.
