Implement it yourself.
The roadmap is yours. It tells you where to focus, what is realistic, and what to start with. Many teams take it from there.
How it works
The whole system, end to end.
Every company is under pressure to do something with AI. The hard part is not the technology, it is knowing where it actually helps. XLX Ventures answers that with the Listening Tour: we talk to the people who do the work, then hand you a plan you can act on.
- 01
You pick the area to explore.
A team, a function, or a question your last leadership meeting couldn't answer. Specific beats abstract. "How does the revenue ops team build weekly reporting?" works far better than "improve efficiency."
- 02
We scope who gets interviewed, with you.
Usually a slice of the org, not everyone: a team, a department, a specific function. The strongest signal comes from people whose work involves a lot of process, coordination, or moving information around. We help you pick the right mix.
- 03
Your team has a confidential AI interview.
Each person has a text conversation with the AI. It asks follow-ups based on what they say and digs into the repetitive tasks, manual workarounds, and time sinks in their real work. It runs at their pace and ends when they are done. No voice, no video, no time limit.
- 04
Names are removed before anything is saved.
Every response runs through an anonymization step before storage. Names of coworkers or managers are replaced with generic references. Each response is also tagged with a confidentiality level chosen by the person speaking.
- 05
You get a ranked roadmap.
When the interviews are done, you ask questions of the findings in plain English. You get themes back, ranked by how often they came up and how realistic AI is for each, with a clear place to start. Never individual answers. If a question would point to a single person, you get "insufficient data" instead.
After the diagnosis
Two ways forward.
Have us build it with you.
If you would rather have it done right and fast, XLX Ventures implements the roadmap with your team over three to six months. We set up the tools, build the workflows and playbooks, and train your people to use them. You keep everything we build.
