Proposal summary
This page captures the agreed scope of MetaWeave’s response to the NBS RFP for AI Transformation Consulting Support. Commercials, named participants, and final dates are tracked separately and confirmed via written exchange between NBS and MetaWeave.
Objective (per RFP)
NBS is engaging MetaWeave to support its AI Transformation by:
- Strengthening NBS engineering capability for AI-native development
- Assessing the future direction of NBS’s application landscape
- Establishing practical guardrails for the safe adoption of Agent AI
Scope of work
① Technical workshop — Claude Agent SDK (~3 days)
Hands-on workshop for NBS engineers, with a focus on early-career team members. Participants are already users of Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Devin AI + Playbook. The workshop covers:

- Enterprise best practices (security, observability, evals)
→ Detailed agenda: Day 1 · Day 2 · Day 3
② Application fit-gap (~1.5 days)
Review of approximately 5 NBS applications currently under development. For each, MetaWeave will produce:
- A fit-gap assessment against modern application architecture and emerging technology trends
- An opinionated recommendation on future direction (refactor, replatform, rebuild, retire)
→ Detailed agenda: Day 4 · Day 5 AM
③ Agent AI guardrails (~0.5 days)
Focused working session on enterprise guardrails for Agent AI adoption, covering:
- Governance and ownership
