❓ Frequently Asked Questions

RAISE stands for Rapid AI Increases Skills Expectations. It's the critical challenge facing modern enterprises where AI technology evolves so fast that professionals struggle to keep up. The gap between required skills and current capabilities widens daily, creating delivery gaps that threaten competitive advantage. Delivery Pilot exists specifically to solve this problem.

We solve RAISE through a systematic three-part approach:

• 📊 Assessments: We identify your current AI maturity level and pinpoint specific delivery gaps through comprehensive evaluations.
• 🎓 Workshops: We provide hands-on training on the Top 10 AI topics to rapidly upskill your team and close knowledge gaps.
• 💻 Git-Based Product Outputs: We create real project deliverables that demonstrate practical skills and close the execution gap between learning and doing.

Delivery gaps are the specific areas where your team's current capabilities fall short of what's needed to successfully deliver AI-powered solutions. We identify these gaps through: Each assessment produces a unique maturity report with a tailored training roadmap.

Git-based product outputs are crucial because they bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical execution. They provide:

• Tangible Evidence: Real code and documentation that proves skill development
• Portfolio Building: Concrete examples for professional growth
• Immediate Value: Working solutions that enterprises can use right away
• Continuous Learning: A foundation for ongoing improvement and collaboration

This approach ensures that learning translates directly into delivery capability.

Delivery Pilot is fundamentally different from traditional online learning platforms combined with consulting services. Here's what sets us apart:

The Bottom Line: While online platforms provide passive learning and traditional consulting offers strategic advice, Delivery Pilot combines deep assessment, hands-on implementation, and real product delivery. We don't just teach AI - we help you deliver with AI by building actual solutions that close the skills gap in your enterprise.

Partners are focused on training and assessments, while Delivery Pilot supports the tools for delivery. This creates a powerful ecosystem where each party focuses on their core strength:

This is the main difference which is supported and promoted by partners. Rather than competing with training platforms like Coursera or traditional consulting firms, Delivery Pilot complements them by bridging the gap between learning and actual delivery. Partners handle the educational foundation while Delivery Pilot ensures teams can translate that knowledge into tangible, production-ready deliverables.

Our main focus is helping professionals and enterprises close skills gaps created by the AI revolution to deliver new apps, projects, or transform their enterprises. We're committed to empowering teams with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in the age of AI.

Our focus is on transformation - helping enterprises evolve their processes, skills, and capabilities to leverage AI effectively. We guide organizations through the journey from traditional workflows to AI-powered operations.

In the DevOps revolution, Continuous Integration (CI) was often successfully achieved, but most companies fall short on Continuous Deployment and Delivery. We aim to achieve this by building agents that pay off technical debt, giving humans the freedom to deploy at any time, as the robots integrated into the system handle the heavy lifting.

In the new world where intelligence matters, we can't just hardwork our way through challenges. We need to be smart, strong, and hardworking at the same time. Delivery Pilot provides the framework and guidance to achieve this balance.

Instead of paid advertising, we focus on organic growth through three key channels:

• 🎥 Video Production: Creating educational and promotional content that demonstrates our expertise and helps potential customers understand AI transformation.
• 🤝 Partner Ecosystem: Working closely with our partner network to deliver joint solutions and expand our reach through trusted relationships.
• 🌐 Joint Online Industry Events/Conferences: Participating in and hosting online industry events and conferences to share knowledge and connect with enterprises seeking AI transformation.

The output is a project in proof of concept (POC) stage. We create a PoC proof of concept working agent for the enterprise. This tangible deliverable demonstrates the practical application of AI transformation concepts in your specific enterprise context.

The platform provides cumulative analysis showing where the enterprise is currently positioned and delivers the POC product created for the enterprise as an output of the workshops. It's a comprehensive view of your transformation journey.

Delivery Pilot helps to increase the number of projects and speed to deliver them. It enables teams to move in an agile manner and operate in an ever-changing world using AI, providing a significant competitive advantage.

To mitigate scope creep, we use Delivery Pilot as a framework to deliver proof of concept (POC) applications. By focusing on POCs with clearly defined boundaries and deliverables, we ensure projects stay on track while demonstrating practical value. This structured approach helps enterprises validate AI solutions without the risk of unlimited expansion of project requirements.

We use AI agents for delivery. These intelligent systems help automate and optimize the transformation process, making it more efficient and effective.

We employ vibe programming in the unknown world to start, then merge it with agentic frameworks. This approach allows us to explore new possibilities while maintaining structured, reliable delivery processes.

We help close the gaps in agile processes by focusing on unknowns and leveraging skills for the enterprise. Our approach enhances traditional agile methodologies with AI-powered insights and tools.

The roadmap spans from the start of the environment to the delivery of products. It includes:

• Initial assessment and environment setup
• Workshop execution and skill development
• POC creation and validation
• Product delivery and gap analysis
• Continuous improvement recommendations

It depends on the quote and number of consultants engaged on the AI transformation project. Assessments can be parallelized and the number of workshops can be triggered in parallel, allowing for scalable product development.

Any project that can be delivered using AI can be executed with Delivery Pilot. There's no limit to the types of projects we can help you deliver.

Real learning comes from hands-on implementations. When these implementations can be reused in the enterprise environment, that's the main value. We take a "skin in the game" approach - doing workshops on technologies (like Rancher) while delivering necessary solutions for the enterprise, and taking responsibility for the outcome by analyzing the gap from initial assessment.

By investing in learning and using Delivery Pilot, you can secure cost savings for complex deliveries by lifting stakeholders up to use the correct tools at the correct time. The integrated artificial intelligence increases the necessary productivity improvements the enterprise needs. The initial assessment and delivery gap fixing help the enterprise transform in the age of AI.

The gap between the initial assessment and final delivery is the main output. C-level management can identify where to place resources and time to increase delivery speed and throughput for the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).

It focuses on adding intelligence and collaboration by removing silos and creating neural networks within the enterprise. Before the AI era, the main pain point was professionals working in silos with no intelligence transfer between departments to deliver products.

The stakeholders in the company write the project. Delivery Pilot guides best practices to use AI and deliver with it. This ensures ownership and relevance to your enterprise's specific needs.

The workshops are mostly online sessions if requested, but can also be onsite. They are held in online collaboration tools such as online whiteboards, fostering active collaboration and hands-on activities. A simulator lead helps the participants create the agents.

We use Calendly to book all enterprise stakeholder assessments and workshops. This provides a seamless scheduling experience to coordinate your team's participation.

At the end of the workshops, participants have active working Proof of Concept (POC) robots and agents working in their environment, following Delivery Pilot principles. The robots/agents simulate activity in the environment.

Hands-on simulations are essential because they bridge the gap between theory and execution. In our "vibe programming" approach, participants don't just watch—they build. This matters because:

• Active Retention: Learning by doing creates stronger neural pathways than passive consumption.
• Proof of Capability: You leave with a working POC, not just a certificate.
• Safe Failure: It provides a risk-free environment to make mistakes and learn from them before touching production systems.
• Immediate ROI: The skills and partial solutions built in the simulation can often be directly adapted for enterprise use.

Real-time agile workshops with AI need multiple rooms to deliver effectively. We use:

• Main Track: For building enterprise-requested POC environments, tools, and modules
• Pitstop Rooms: To help participants who are having issues and need to catch up to the main track

In the main track, our goal is to deliver applications using Delivery Pilot. It's a gamified environment where we build the enterprise-requested POC environment along with the necessary tools and modules.

The pitstop room ensures participants have the prerequisites to join the main track, such as:

• Programs installed correctly
• Correct version of code branch pulled
• Ability to follow a live-streamed board
• Connection to high-speed network
• Debug basic issues participants are experiencing

The key roles that help process AI transformation are:

• Assessment Leader - Conducts skills gap analysis
• Workshop Leader - Facilitates main track sessions
• Pitstop Leaders - Support participants with technical issues
• Roadmap Leader - Guides the transformation journey

You can use Delivery Pilot to advance your career through three key steps:

1. Learn AI Skills Gaps: Identify exactly what you need to learn to remain competitive.
2. Build Agents in Cloud: Gain hands-on experience by building working AI agents in the cloud.
3. Get Certified: Obtain certification to setup on-premises secure intelligent AI agents for enterprises.

Pilot Certification certifies professionals as qualified pilots for delivering AI agent applications. The certification program has a specific focus on two critical metrics:

• Technical Debt Management: Learn best practices for managing and reducing technical debt in AI agent implementations, ensuring maintainable and scalable solutions.
• Security Compliance and Best Practices: Master security requirements, compliance standards, and best practices for enterprise AI agent applications, including data protection, access control, and regulatory compliance.

Certified pilots are qualified to deliver production-ready AI agent solutions in enterprise environments with confidence.

Assessments are needed for C-level management to make investment decisions. The assessment shows:

• Skills gaps in the organization
• Resources needed for transformation
• Necessary infrastructure (e.g., Azure sign-up, MCP tools setup)

Self-assessment gets tested in real-life workshops where participants learn and fix their skills gaps. We outline the result by showing what the team has achieved relative to initial estimation and target delivery, clearly outlining the gaps.

Their entry to pitstop would be challenged. C-level management gets a final assessment around the product created by stakeholders. The output product is assessed comparing initial assessment to final delivery, clearly outlining the gaps.

Team skill levels are self-assessed at the start of the Delivery Pilot engagement. Participants evaluate their own capabilities across key AI and technical competencies, which establishes a baseline for measuring progress and identifying areas that need focus during workshops.

Yes! For enterprises who do not want to engage in workshops, there is an alternative approach: open your repositories for AI readiness scans. These scans provide a comprehensive analysis to outline AI transformation skill gaps within your organization, helping identify areas for improvement without the need for immediate workshop participation.

We prioritize this sequence to systematically close skills gaps in the enterprise:

• Assessment: First, we identify the specific delivery gaps.
• Workshop: We build agents as Proof of Concepts (PoC) and move them to production environments.
• Audit: We establish a continuous assessment and improvement system to ensure sustained growth.

The audit can be completed by us because Rifat Erdem Sahin, the founder, has NATO, BPSS, SC, and DV clearances to work globally. He has worked in multiple government migration projects with top level security, ensuring that audits are conducted with the highest standards of security and compliance.
