Blueprint

Beam SOP-to-Agent Delivery Sprint (7-10 days)

A fixed-scope engagement that turns one client SOP into a live Beam self-learning agent with human-in-the-loop approvals and a single enterprise system integration, priced as a productized build rather than open-ended consulting.

Prerequisites
  • Client supplies a written SOP of up to 200 pages for one finance, HR, or operations process, plus a named process owner who can approve exceptions
  • Agency account on Beam's Scale plan at $3,990/month, since high-volume task execution and the three base integrations are required for client delivery
  • Read-only or sandbox credentials for the one system the agent will touch (SAP, Salesforce, or DATEV)
  • Agreed exception list: which outputs require human approval before the agent commits them
  • Baseline metrics for the target process (transactions per month, current error rate, current handling hours) so the 98% accuracy claim can be tested against the client's own data
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Kickoff with the client process owner to confirm the single workflow in scope and the exception list
  • 2.Collect the written SOP and check it is complete enough to upload without gaps
  • 3.Record baseline transaction volume and current handling hours for later comparison
  • 1.Upload the SOP into Beam and let the no-code builder generate the first agent draft
  • 2.Walk the client through the generated workflow steps and flag any step Beam misread
  • 3.Trim the workflow to the minimum viable step count before adding integrations
  • 1.Connect the first enterprise system using one of the three base integrations on the Scale plan
  • 2.Map source fields to the agent's expected inputs and confirm read access works
  • 3.Run a single test transaction end to end and inspect the output
  • 1.Configure human-in-the-loop approval gates on every step the client flagged as critical
  • 2.Set output evaluation rules so low-confidence results route to a reviewer instead of committing
  • 3.Test the approval path with a deliberately malformed transaction
  • 1.Run a batch of 50 to 100 real transactions through the agent and log every exception
  • 2.Review self-healing behavior: confirm the agent adapts to exceptions rather than failing silently
  • 3.Tune prompts and step logic where accuracy drops below the client's threshold
  • 1.Expand the batch to a full working day of live volume
  • 2.Document each exception type and the correction the reviewer applied
  • 3.Confirm the agent's output format matches what the downstream system expects
  • 1.Train the client team on monitoring dashboards and the output review queue
  • 2.Hand over a written runbook covering approval gates, escalation, and rollback
  • 3.Agree the weekly review cadence for the first month of the retainer
  • 1.Shadow one full production cycle with the client operating and the agency observing
  • 2.Fix any remaining configuration issues found during the shadow run
  • 3.Sign off on the accuracy baseline measured against the client's own transactions
$3,990 to $7,980 in Beam Scale plan fees for one to two months of delivery, plus agency labor of roughly 40 to 60 hours; the client-facing fee for this sprint typically lands between $8,000 and $15,0007-10 days
ROI Logic

Beam's Scale plan runs $3,990/month and the Pro tier at $50/month caps at 200 tasks, so any client with real transaction volume forces the Scale tier. A single sprint billed at $8,000 to $15,000 against one or two months of Scale fees leaves $4,000 to $11,000 gross before labor, and the same configured agent then carries a monthly managed-automation retainer with no further build cost. Margin improves on each additional workflow because the integration and approval patterns are reused, not rebuilt.

Deliverables
  • A live Beam agent built from the client's uploaded SOP, running against one connected enterprise system
  • An exception and approval matrix documenting which agent outputs require human sign-off
  • A measured accuracy and volume report comparing the agent's output to the client's pre-build baseline
  • A client-facing runbook for monitoring, reviewing outputs, and escalating failures
  • A retainer proposal covering ongoing monitoring, SOP updates, and expansion to a second workflow
Definition of Done

The Beam agent processes a full production day of the client's real transactions through the connected system with every flagged exception routed to a named human reviewer and the measured accuracy signed off by the process owner.
