Honest AI strategy from people who ship.
Where AI actually pays back — and where it's a distraction.
Most AI strategy decks promise a future. We help you ship something this quarter. You get a workflow audit, a build-vs-buy matrix, ROI modeling, and a 90-day roadmap — written by engineers, not consultants.
Engineering, not slides.
Workflow Audit
Map your highest-leverage workflows and identify where AI saves real time vs. where it'd be theatrics.
Build vs Buy Matrix
When to use OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs, when to host open-source, when to just buy the SaaS — decided by cost and control.
ROI Modeling
Concrete numbers: token spend, throughput, time saved per task. Real assumptions, sensitivity-tested.
90-Day Roadmap
Shippable milestones, not 18-month transformations. Ship-stop-pivot decision gates baked in.
Org Readiness
Where do your data, infra, and team need to be before AI shows up? We diagnose the gaps.
Risk & Compliance
Data residency, PII handling, model-output review patterns. Especially for healthcare, finance, insurance.
From idea to production.
Discovery
Two workshops with stakeholders. We see your tools, hear your bottlenecks, and don't assume.
Feasibility & cost modeling
We build small proofs where the answer is unclear. No prediction without evidence.
Roadmap & sign-off
Sequenced milestones, owners, and exit criteria. Everyone agrees on what 'done' means.
Execution support (optional)
We can implement, hand off to your team, or stay as a fractional ML lead.
Models & tools we reach for.
Common questions.
How fast can you produce a roadmap?
Two to three weeks from kickoff, including stakeholder sessions and feasibility spikes for any open questions.
Do you only recommend big-model APIs?
No. Open-source models, fine-tuning, traditional ML, and even rule-based approaches stay on the table. We pick what fits.
Can you help us evaluate AI vendors?
Yes — we run vendor bake-offs with your data and your accuracy targets so you can compare apples to apples.
Let's scope it together.
