Workflow mapping
The real path from pitch to strike, walked and documented with the people who run it.
For the exhibit design-build firm, we brought the Foundation playbook to a creative production business: connected tools, documented process, and Claude working alongside the team.
A design-build firm runs on coordination: designers, fabricators, project managers, and client teams all moving against hard show dates. The craft was never in question — the connective tissue was.
Project knowledge lived in people and threads. Every show meant re-answering questions the organization had already answered.
The brief: connect the tools, get the process out of heads, and give the team an AI layer that actually helps against a deadline.
The real path from pitch to strike, walked and documented with the people who run it.
Project, design, and client systems wired together so status lives in one place.
AI set up around the team’s actual jobs — proposals, project recaps, client comms — not a generic chatbot.
The recurring 80% of show production written down where software and new hires can run it.
Real use cases per role, so the AI layer gets used after we leave the room.
Everything is built around show dates: the workflows fire off real project milestones, and the AI layer reads from the same connected record the team already keeps.
The result is a production organization where the repeatable work runs itself, and the humans spend their hours on the part clients actually buy — the experience.
The shows always shipped. Now the two weeks before a show don’t eat the whole company to make that true.Production team — Exhibitus
