What We Do

Strategy Before Software

Most AI projects fail before a model is ever trained. We start with strategy: a clear AI roadmap, disciplined use-case scoring, honest ROI modeling, practical governance and change management that gets teams on board.

AI Opportunity Assessment

We map where AI creates value across your business, from cost savings to new revenue.

Use-Case Scoring and Prioritization

Every idea is scored on value, effort, data readiness and risk, so you fund the winners first.

Data and Infrastructure Readiness Audit

We check your data, systems and talent to see what is ready for AI and what needs work.

AI Roadmap and Portfolio Planning

A sequenced plan with owners, timelines and budgets for the next 12 to 36 months.

Pilot Design and Validation

Small pilots that prove ROI fast and kill weak ideas before they cost you.

Governance and Risk Frameworks

Policies, controls and review boards that keep every AI initiative safe and compliant.

Who It Is For

Built for Enterprise Leaders

Our enterprise AI strategy consulting works best with sponsors who own outcomes and budgets.

  • CEOs – leaders who need AI tied to revenue, margin and growth targets.
  • CIOs – technology heads who need a realistic plan their teams can deliver.
  • COOs – operators who want AI to cut costs and remove process bottlenecks.
  • Digital transformation heads – program owners who need a portfolio view across business units.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions every buying team asks.

How much does an enterprise AI strategy engagement cost?
Strategy phases typically run $25k to $150k depending on scope and the number of business units involved. Full delivery programs range from $50k to $5M, and your roadmap shows exactly where each dollar goes before you commit.
How long does it take to build an AI roadmap?
A focused strategy sprint takes 2 to 4 weeks. A full enterprise roadmap with data audits and ROI modeling takes 6 to 12 weeks. We agree the timeline in week one and hold to it.
How do you score and prioritize AI use cases?
We score each use case on business value, implementation effort, data readiness and risk. The result is a ranked portfolio, so leadership funds the highest-return ideas first.
Do you only advise, or do you deliver too?
Both. We start with strategy, then our engineers can build the pilots and scale the winners. One team from roadmap to production keeps knowledge intact.
How is AI governance handled?
Every roadmap includes a governance framework with risk tiers, approval gates, model monitoring and compliance checks for regulations such as the EU AI Act and HIPAA. Governance scales with your ambition.
What do you need from our team?
A sponsor, access to process owners for interviews and read access to key data sources. We do the heavy lifting while your team contributes a few hours a week.
