1 month
Focused AI consulting sprint in 2025
2
Layers: mapping the internal processes and defining the tools technically
Hybrid
Solution combining classic n8n workflow steps and LLM stages

Challenge

A lot of repetition in assessment

Startup assessments at Wayra consist of research, structured assessment and checks against internal criteria, steps with a lot of repetition and pattern recognition.

Relieve the team without losing depth

Find out where AI workflows can take over parts of the assessment process without giving up the depth of the analysis.

Agent or rule?

Step in the assessment process mapped with the Wayra team
  • suits an agent
    1. LLM stage
  • stays rule-based
    1. n8n workflow
Hybrid solution handed over to Wayra

Deliberately not full automation: traceability and expert control are preserved.

Solution

Process mapping

The assessment workflow mapped in Excalidraw together with the Wayra team, so that automation starts in the right place.

Technical requirements

Defined which steps suit LLM-based agents and which are better kept rule-based.

Deliberately hybrid

Not full automation, but n8n workflow steps combined with LLM stages, so that traceability and expert control are preserved.

Handover at the end of the sprint

The defined solution went to Wayra; alm's engagement ended with the sprint.

Result

Clear about what can be automated.

In one month, we produced a hybrid architecture for AI-assisted startup assessment that was ready to implement and could go straight into development. The value lies in the clarity about which parts of the process suit agentic automation and which deliberately do not.
