Case Studies Illustrative scenarios

How a pilot could unfold.

We're a young company — these are composite, illustrative scenarios showing how we'd approach a pilot in each division, not write-ups of actual named clients.

01Illustrative scenarios

Three ways a pilot could run.

These are illustrative, composite scenarios written to show how an Autumn Cube engagement could unfold — they describe a hypothetical client and outcome, not an actual named client or reported result. We'll publish real case studies as pilots complete.

Illustrative scenario · Tech

Modernising legacy IT for a mid-market EU operator

Challenge
A mid-market European business is running on ageing internal tooling, with no dedicated engineering capacity to modernise it without disrupting daily operations.
Approach
An 8–12 week pilot stands up a dedicated India-based engineering pod under ITIL change governance, scoped to one system rather than a full rebuild, with weekly steering alongside the client's team.
What success looks like
Reduced defect rate, a clear total-cost-of-ownership baseline, and a validated case for scaling into a longer managed-services engagement.
Illustrative scenario · Talent

Combining sourcing and skilling for a Japan-facing team

Challenge
A growing SaaS company needs to hire several roles quickly for a Japan-facing function, but also needs the new hires trained to a specific bilingual standard.
Approach
Autumn Talent runs sourcing and vetting in parallel with an Autumn Thulir cohort-based training programme, so new hires are productive from day one rather than ramping up separately.
What success looks like
Faster time-to-hire, a measurable lift in onboarding readiness, and a repeatable playbook for the next hiring round.
Illustrative scenario · Ops

Moving a non-core process to an India delivery hub

Challenge
An operations team is spending a disproportionate share of its time on a repeatable back-office process that doesn't need to sit in-house.
Approach
Autumn Ops documents the current workflow, runs it in parallel from an India-based hub during the pilot, and tracks cycle time and CSAT before any handover is made permanent.
What success looks like
Lower cost-per-transaction, freed-up internal capacity, and a clear SLA the client's team can hold us to going forward.
