🔧 Workflow

Lock in two target industry enterprises per week, conduct remote interviews with business leaders, and collect process documents and data samples. Input these into industry benchmark templates to generate the 'Agent Scenario Value Assessment Report,' which includes candidate scenario ranking, estimated labor savings, data readiness scoring, and a pilot roadmap. Once confirmed by the client, refer them to a deployment partner or take on small pilots directly. Spend mornings conducting interviews and data cleaning, afternoons running model benchmark comparisons and quantitative calculations, and every Friday delivering reports and holding review meetings to build a reusable industry knowledge base.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires 2+ years of enterprise digitalization or consulting experience, with familiarity in RAG and Agent fundamentals. Tools include Claude for document analysis, Notion for project management, and Lark or Tencent Meeting for interviews. Preparing 3 sets of industry assessment templates takes about 2 weeks; no hard-coding requirements in the early stage. It is recommended to thoroughly study Palantir's forward-deployment model and Distyl's public cases, refining the scenario ranking, data readiness, and pilot roadmap into reusable assets, continuously reducing marginal costs for subsequent orders.

💰 Revenue

1. Mid-sized enterprise scenario diagnostic reports (main revenue): Enterprise clients pay a service fee per project, 15,000 to 30,000 CNY per report × 3 to 4 deliveries per month = approx. 80,000 CNY monthly revenue, accounting for ~100% of monthly revenue (calculated based on unit price and delivery volume given in the card; case sources have not been independently verified). 2. Pilot consulting conversion: About 30% of clients convert into subsequent pilot consulting, charged via project service fees. 3 to 4 reports per month correspond to roughly 1 converted client; unit prices for converted orders and this channel's revenue share are undisclosed. 3. Standalone FDE annual framework delivery: Charging mid-sized enterprises with budgets of 500,000 to 5,000,000 CNY for diagnostics and deployment per project, with a unit price of 150,000 to 500,000 CNY, 3-5 clients in the first year, and annual revenue of 700,000 to 1,500,000 CNY (media estimates, unverified externally); its proportion in total revenue is also unspecified. 4. Opportunity item - Referrals for enterprise customized deployment: Referring clients to large-scale tech deployers (OpenAI typically requires clients to pay at least $10 million, with new contract sizes ranging from $5 million to $20 million), earning channel commission splits. Both the commission rate and the revenue generated from this channel remain undisclosed.

💸 Cost

Model subscriptions and collaboration tools cost about 600 CNY per month, with no heavy API expenses. The main cost is personal time spent on interviews and writing. Industry databases and public research reports are mostly free channels, keeping initial cash expenses under 1,000 CNY per month.

⏱ Time Investment

Approximately 12 to 15 hours per report, translating to 3 to 4 hours per day, with deep follow-ups on 2 clients per week. Once the template matures, the time spent per report can be compressed to under 8 hours, freeing up capacity to convert subsequent pilot consulting.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Choose a familiar industry, use public financial reports and job descriptions (JDs) to reverse-engineer the 3 most labor-intensive processes in that industry, and create a one-page diagnostic sample. Step 2: Give away 2 diagnostics for free in Knowledge Planet (Zhihu) or industry communities in exchange for case endorsements. Step 3: Start charging per report. During the cold-start phase, pricing can be set at 8,000 CNY to test the waters, returning to normal pricing after securing testimonials from 3 real clients.

🔑 Keys to Success

  • ✅ Do diagnostics before deployment to avoid direct competition with heavy-delivery service providers
  • ✅ Reports must provide quantifiable labor-saving estimates so clients dare to pay high prices
  • ✅ Tie up with 1 to 2 deployment service providers to get referral commissions, forming a compounding pipeline
  • ✅ Deeply cultivate a single industry to build a benchmark database, making each report more accurate than the last
  • ✅ Draw inspiration from Distyl's AI-plus-consultant hybrid model, where humans act as the referee responsible for final judgment

⚠️ 风险

  • ⚠️ Pure report services have a low customer unit price ceiling; clients might bypass you and build their own team after receiving the report
  • ⚠️ Without real implementation case endorsements, enterprise willingness to pay is low, requiring free sample templates upfront
  • ⚠️ Large model vendors entering deployment services themselves, squeezing the intermediate diagnostic link
  • ⚠️ If diagnostic conclusions deviate significantly from actual implementation results, reputation risks concentrated in a single industry will be magnified

📌 Real Cases

  • 📌 Distyl AI was founded by former Palantir employees, adopting a forward-deployment and large-client customization model with contracts reaching tens of millions. After completing a $175 million Series B round in 2025, its valuation reached $1.8 billion (a 9x increase from Series A), validating that enterprises are willing to pay high prices for pre-implementation judgment and deep services regarding Agent deployment.
  • 📌 Distyl's self-developed Agent system, Distillery, deeply customized by engineers, has served fields such as telecommunications, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing, maintaining a 100% delivery record, covering over 120 million end users, and creating hundreds of millions in operational value for clients.
  • 📌 In 2026, OpenAI established an independent deployment business, DeployCo, focusing on large enterprise custom solutions, while Anthropic partnered with Blackstone and Goldman Sachs to promote enterprise-grade Agent implementation, indicating that the service chain of diagnostics plus customized deployment is becoming an industry consensus.
