AI consulting from people who build it.
Most AI strategy ends in a slide deck. Ours ends in a ranked list of use cases with cost, time and expected return, written by engineers who can build the first one the following week.
- AI audit
- $3.5k – $10k fixed
- Timeline
- 1–2 weeks
- You get
- A ranked roadmap
- Then
- Optional build
Who it’s built for.
- Leadership teams asked “what is our AI plan?” by their board
- Operations-heavy businesses with repetitive work in documents, email or calls
- Product companies deciding which AI features are worth building
- Teams whose AI pilot never made it to production
What an AI audit actually covers
We interview the people who do the work, look at the tools and data you already have, and time the tasks that repeat. Each candidate use case is scored on the hours or revenue it affects, how reliable AI is for that task today, the data it needs, and the cost to build and run.
You get a short written report and a call: the three to five use cases worth doing first, what each costs, how long it takes, and what could go wrong. If you want, we build the first one as a fixed-price two-week project.

Questions, answered.
What do AI consulting services cost?
Our AI readiness audit has a fixed price, shown above in your currency. Large consultancies often charge far more for strategy alone, without building anything.
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
No. The report is yours, and it is written so any capable team can act on it.
Which industries do you work with?
Hospitality, home services, events, education, consumer apps and B2B software so far. The method works anywhere work repeats.
Will you recommend tools we can buy rather than build?
Yes. Where an off-the-shelf tool does the job, we say so. Building is only recommended when it pays back.
How do you handle confidential data?
We sign an NDA before discovery, work inside your accounts where possible, and never use your data to train models.
