Still Have Questions About the AIMEDS™ Framework?

These FAQs cover how to get started, what makes AI-6X™ unique, and how to apply it with confidence — even if you’re not a technical expert.

No — most teams begin with just the first 2–3 phases. The AIMEDS™ framework is flexible by design. You can apply what you need, when you need it, and expand as your AI maturity grows.

That’s exactly who AI-6X™ is built for. The framework bridges strategy and action — even if your team is non-technical. We focus on real outcomes, not algorithms.

It depends on your goals, but teams often begin seeing value within 2–6 weeks of applying the first phases. Pilots are designed to move quickly while reducing risk.
