04 — AI Consulting

Where AI moves the needle. And where it doesn't.

Vendor-neutral consulting for teams trying to figure out where AI fits. Workflow audits, build-vs-buy guidance, and a roadmap with line-item ROI estimates — before any code is written.

·—Positioning

What it is

  • ✓An honest audit. Including 'don't do this' recommendations.
  • ✓A written roadmap with sequencing, cost, and impact estimates.
  • ✓Vendor-neutral — we don't get kickbacks for recommending tools.
  • ✓Optional implementation in Phase 2 — you can take the roadmap to anyone.

What it isn't

  • ×A 60-slide deck about 'AI transformation'.
  • ×A pitch for our other services in disguise.
  • ×Strategy-only with no follow-through option.

·—FAQ

Questions teams ask us.

Do you push us toward your build services?
No. The roadmap is yours. About 60% of our consulting clients also build with us; 40% take the roadmap elsewhere. Both outcomes are fine.
How long does an audit take?
1–2 weeks. We do 4–6 stakeholder interviews, observe real workflows, and deliver the written audit + roadmap in week two.
What if we don't have any AI in place yet?
Perfect time to talk to us. Most of the value of the audit is helping you avoid the wrong starting point.
06—The discovery offer

Send us your most expensive operation.
We'll have an audit on your desk in five days.

One PDF. No deck. No obligation. We'll tell you whether AI is the right answer for it — and if it is, we'll quote the build the same week.
