Recommendation Sprint

Win one recommendation worth winning.

A single, defined engagement built around one recommendation. Baseline, evidence analysis, execution and rerun, with a movement report at the end.

A Sprint starts with evidence your brand has already earned: customer experience, public reputation and independent proof. It asks whether that evidence is reflected in the AI recommendations you want to compete for.

What you commission

One territory. One outcome. One defined timeline.

The Sprint is not a report you take away. It is a complete programme: identify the evidence gap preventing a specific recommendation, build what closes that gap, then test the same buyer journeys again to show what changed.

Common questions

Before you commission.

What is a recommendation?

A specific AI buyer query, market and competitor set where your brand wants to earn a recommendation, for example, 'Best luxury DMC in Dubai for UK incentive groups'. The Sprint is organised around winning one.

How long does a Recommendation Sprint take?

8 to 10 weeks from brief to movement report. Weeks 1 2: baseline and evidence analysis. Weeks 3 7: execution. Week 8: rerun. Week 9: movement report and debrief.

What if AI perception does not shift after the Sprint?

We guarantee the execution, every deliverable built and implemented. If evidence is in place and AI hasn't shifted after a full rerun, we scope and deliver additional work at no cost until we see measurable movement.

Can I run multiple Sprints?

Yes. Most clients run a Sprint to prove the model, then move to a Recommendation Programme to work across multiple territories continuously.

Who is the Sprint for?

Travel brands with a specific recommendation worth winning, hotels competing for a particular occasion, airlines for a route or traveller type, DMCs for a buyer segment or destination.
