AI Consulting
What does AI consulting actually deliver?
Short answer
A decision you can act on, supported by evidence. In practice that means a map of how your business actually works, every process scored on the same eight factors, a ranked list of what is worth automating, and a sequence. If a consulting engagement ends with a strategy document and no scored register, you have bought an opinion.
Definitions
What this is, and what it is not.
It is
- Workflow mapping from observed practice, not from the process handbook
- Every candidate process scored on a published, arguable framework
- A ranked opportunity register with hours and implementation windows
- A 90-day sequence with the reasoning written out
It is not
- A market overview of what AI can do
- A list of tools to evaluate
- A strategy deck with no process-level detail
- A recommendation that always concludes you should buy something
Fit
When this is the right answer — and when it is not.
Both lists matter. A firm that never tells you no is not giving you information.
Right when
- You know AI matters and cannot say where it would apply in your business
- You have had a pilot that did not reach production and want to know why
- Several departments are asking for different things and you need a sequence
- You need to defend the investment internally with something more than enthusiasm
Wrong when
- You already know exactly what to build — go straight to a workflow sprint
- The constraint is demand rather than delivery — that is a growth problem
- You want a number before anyone has looked at your process
What we do
In this order.
- 01
The Business AI Map
Six areas of the company, every process sorted into keep human, AI-assisted, AI-automated or fully automated.
- 02
Scored opportunity register
Eight factors per process. Six establish worth, two establish what the system may do unattended.
- 03
ROI estimate with stated assumptions
Hours from measured volumes, not recalled ones, with the arithmetic shown so you can disagree with it.
- 04
Sequenced 90-day roadmap
What first, what second, and why that order rather than another.
Boundaries
What stays with a person.
- We will report that AI is not your highest-value fix when that is the finding
- Estimates are labelled as estimates, with the assumptions attached
- You keep the analysis whether or not you continue with us
How is this different from a strategy firm?
Two things. The analysis goes to process level rather than stopping at themes, and the same team can implement what it recommends — which tends to discipline the recommendations considerably.
Can we just buy the consulting?
Yes, and some clients do. The assessment is a standalone fixed-fee engagement and the deliverables are yours to take to whoever you like.
