As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Final v1 onboarding plan dated 4 Jun 2025, prepared by Hamza Akhtar. It sets a twelve-week, five-phase rollout of the Enterprise brain for 150 licensed users, with contracted ARR stated as £99k. It is a plan, not a contract.
What it is: a BG-Demo implementation plan for Lindqvarn Retail, covering roles, five phases, risks and success measures. It states the subscription ran 1 Jun 2025 to 31 May 2026.
Commits: BG-Demo to a twelve-week implementation including security review support, and a nightly refresh "by 07:00 local time on business days". Hamza Akhtar sends a written update after each phase.
Unusual: the plan quotes contracted ARR of £99k, which is below the v1 Enterprise list of £110k in the brief; the document does not say why. It defers to the order form where the two differ.
Not settled: connector names, counts and live-by dates are not stated. The plan does not show the renewal outcome, and the subscription end date is long past the as-of date.

4. Phases
The implementation runs for twelve weeks and includes support for the customer's security review. The phases below overlap where sensible.
Phase 1: Kick-off and access
- Hold the kick-off with the sponsor, IT contact and data owners.
- Agree the first questions the business wants the brain to answer.
- Confirm access to the customer's Snowflake account and the source systems.
- Milestone: access confirmed and priorities agreed.
Phase 2: Security review and design
- Answer the customer's security questionnaire and support follow-up questions.
- Agree the single sign-on and user provisioning approach.
- Agree the connector order, starting with customer service and e-commerce.
- Milestone: security review closed and connector order signed off by the sponsor.
Phase 3: Connectors and data load
- Build and test each connector in the agreed order.
- Check records indexed against what the data owners expect.
- Confirm the nightly refresh completes by 07:00 local time on business days.
- Milestone: all contracted connectors live and loading.
Phase 4: Training and first use
- Run role-based sessions for customer service, e-commerce and store feedback teams.
- Help each team build its first pages and ask its first questions.
- Name champions in each team who will support colleagues.
- Milestone: each team has asked real questions of the brain and has a named champion.
Phase 5: Go-live and handover
- Confirm the live checklist with the sponsor.
- Hand over to Marcus Bell for adoption tracking and the first review.
- Record open items and who owns them.
- Milestone: handover meeting held and the implementation closed.
5. What we need from Lindqvarn Retail
- A sponsor who can make decisions quickly.
- Named people for IT, security and each data source.
- Prompt access to the Snowflake account and source systems.
- Notice of any system changes during the build, so connectors are not broken by surprise.
6. Risks to watch
| Risk | Mitigation | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Source systems change during the build | Share the connector list early and ask for change notice | Hamza Akhtar |
| Security review takes longer than planned | Start questionnaire answers in the first phase | Hamza Akhtar |
| Only a few people use the brain at first | Name champions and run team sessions | Marcus Bell |
| Scope grows beyond the order form | Raise with the account owner before work starts | Tom Ashdown |
7. Success measures
By the end of the first term, we expect to see:
- Every contracted connector live and loading.
- Users across all three teams asking questions each week.
- Growth in questions asked from month to month.
- A clear story, agreed with the sponsor, of what the brain is worth to the business before the renewal conversation.
8. Communication
Hamza Akhtar will send a short written update after each phase. Marcus Bell takes over the regular review rhythm after go-live. Commercial questions go to Tom Ashdown.
