Independent guidance on AI adoption: identify high-ROI automation opportunities, evaluate technology choices, and implement solutions that work—without vendor lock-in or multi-year enterprise contracts.
Executives, operations leaders, and business owners who recognize that AI will reshape their industry but don't know where to start. You're evaluating AI vendor promises (ChatGPT Enterprise, custom LLM agents, automation platforms) and need independent guidance on what's actually practical versus what's hype.
Our consulting engagements help you identify high-ROI automation opportunities, evaluate technology choices, and implement solutions that actually work in your environment—without vendor lock-in or multi-year enterprise contracts.
We audit your current business processes (marketing, sales, customer support, operations) to identify automation opportunities with quantifiable ROI. Typical engagements find 10-15 automation candidates and prioritize the top 3-5 by impact/effort.
Deliverables: Process map with automation candidates, ROI estimates (hours saved, cost reduction), prioritized roadmap, vendor/tool recommendations.
Duration: 2-4 weeks depending on company size and process complexity.
Strategic planning workshops to define your AI adoption roadmap: which use cases to pursue first, build vs buy decisions, team skill gaps, technology stack choices, and success metrics. We help you avoid common pitfalls like over-engineering MVPs or betting on immature technologies.
Deliverables: AI strategy document (12-20 pages), use case prioritization matrix, technology evaluation (LLMs, automation platforms, vector databases), team training plan, 6-12 month implementation roadmap.
Duration: 3-6 weeks including discovery, strategy workshops, and deliverable review.
Hands-on technical guidance for your team (or ours) to build and deploy AI solutions. This includes: prompt engineering, RAG system design, workflow automation architecture, API integration, evaluation/testing strategies, and production deployment. We work alongside your developers or handle implementation directly.
Deliverables: Working automation or AI system, technical documentation, runbooks, team training, handoff to your operations team.
Duration: 4-12 weeks depending on solution complexity. Can be hourly or fixed-bid project.
30-minute video call to understand your business challenges, current AI/automation maturity, and goals. We'll determine if we're a good fit and which consulting service matches your needs.
We'll draft a statement of work (SOW) defining scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Typical engagements range from $5K (strategy workshops) to $50K+ (implementation projects). Fixed-bid or hourly available.
We execute the engagement with weekly check-ins, deliver all contractual milestones, and provide ongoing support during handoff. You own all deliverables and IP—no vendor lock-in.
Our consulting engagements follow a three-step process: (1) Discovery Call — a 30-minute video call to understand your business challenges, current AI/automation maturity, and goals to determine if we're a good fit, (2) Scope & Proposal — we draft a statement of work defining scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing (typical engagements range from $5K for strategy workshops to $50K+ for implementation projects, available as fixed-bid or hourly), and (3) Execution & Delivery — we execute the engagement with weekly check-ins, deliver all contractual milestones, and provide ongoing support during handoff. You own all deliverables and intellectual property with no vendor lock-in.
Engagement duration depends on scope and complexity. Operations automation assessments typically take 2-4 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable presentation. AI strategy development engagements run 3-6 weeks including discovery interviews, competitive analysis, technology evaluation, and strategy document creation. Implementation support projects range from 4-12 weeks depending on solution complexity—a simple chatbot integration might take 4-6 weeks while a comprehensive content automation pipeline could take 8-12 weeks. We structure engagements with clear milestones and deliverables at each phase, so you see tangible progress throughout. Hourly engagements can be as flexible as you need, from a few hours of advisory consultation to ongoing retainer support.
We offer both fixed-bid project pricing and hourly consulting rates depending on your preference and engagement type. Fixed-bid projects are scoped upfront with defined deliverables—typical ranges are $5K-$15K for assessments and strategy workshops, $15K-$35K for implementation projects, and $35K-$75K for comprehensive transformation engagements combining strategy and implementation. Hourly rates apply for ongoing advisory, troubleshooting, or engagements where scope evolves—rates start at $250/hour for implementation support and $350/hour for strategic advisory. We don't require multi-year contracts or retainer minimums. Payment terms are typically 50% upfront, 50% on delivery for fixed-bid projects, or net-15 for hourly engagements. Custom payment structures (milestone-based, monthly installments) available for larger projects.
We work with businesses across professional services (law firms, accounting firms, consulting agencies), B2B SaaS and technology companies, healthcare and medical practices (compliance-aware automation), financial services and fintech (with appropriate data handling protocols), marketing agencies and creative studios, and manufacturing and logistics operations. Our approach is industry-agnostic—we focus on understanding your specific business processes, regulatory constraints, and competitive landscape rather than applying generic templates. We've helped companies ranging from 5-person startups to 500-person mid-market firms implement AI automation. Most clients are in the $2M-$50M annual revenue range where manual processes have become bottlenecks but enterprise solutions are prohibitively expensive.
ROI varies by use case, but common outcomes include: 40-60% time savings on repetitive tasks like data entry, report generation, and content formatting when automated with AI workflows, 3-10x faster content production (marketing copy, customer communications, documentation) with quality controls maintaining brand standards, 20-30% cost reduction in customer support operations through AI-powered triage and response drafting, and 15-25% revenue increase from better lead qualification and faster sales follow-up enabled by automation. Typical payback period for consulting investment is 3-9 months depending on automation scope. For example, a $25K implementation project that saves 20 hours per week of $75/hour labor pays for itself in 4 months. We help you quantify expected ROI during the strategy phase before committing to implementation, so you can make data-driven decisions about which automation opportunities to pursue first.
DIY AI tools like ChatGPT, Zapier, or Make.com are powerful but require significant learning curves, ongoing maintenance, and lack tailored guidance for your specific business context. Our consulting engagements provide: independent assessment of which tools and approaches actually fit your needs (we're not locked into any vendor), custom implementation designed for your workflows rather than generic templates, quality controls and evaluation frameworks to ensure AI outputs meet your standards, team training so your staff can maintain and evolve solutions after handoff, and ongoing support during the critical first 30-60 days when issues surface. Many businesses start with DIY tools, realize they need expert guidance to get production-ready reliability, and engage us to professionalize their implementations. We help you avoid common pitfalls like over-engineering MVPs, choosing tools that don't scale, or building automations that break when APIs change.
