Hire an AI Consultant
Most AI advice comes from people who make money when you buy something. Vendors recommend their platform. Agencies recommend a build they can charge for. We charge a fixed fee for independent advice, and then you decide what to do with it, with or without us.
A fixed-fee engagement, three to four weeks. You get a prioritized use case analysis, build vs buy assessment, vendor evaluation, and implementation roadmap, in writing, yours to keep.
Tell us about the decision you're trying to make.
Four written deliverables that give you everything you need to make a confident decision about AI investment.
A ranked list of AI use cases for your business, with the reasoning behind the ranking. We're not trying to sell you a specific build, so the prioritization is based on your ROI, not our margin.
For each prioritized use case: what it would cost to build custom, what off-the-shelf tools exist, and which path makes more sense for your situation. With real numbers, not ranges that span an order of magnitude.
A structured comparison of the vendors relevant to your use cases, evaluated against your specific requirements, not a generic feature matrix. We tell you which ones to avoid and why.
A step-by-step plan for implementing the top one or two use cases. Written clearly enough that any competent developer (whether you hire us or someone else) can follow it.
Executives evaluating AI investment before committing budget
You've been asked to have an AI strategy. You want to know which use cases have real ROI, what they'll cost, and how long they'll take before you ask your board to approve a budget. That's exactly what this engagement produces.
Boards that need an independent technical opinion
You've received a proposal from an AI vendor or agency. You want a second opinion from someone who isn't selling you anything, just an honest assessment of whether the proposal makes sense and what the alternatives are.
Companies burned by a previous AI project who want a second opinion
You spent money on an AI project that didn't deliver. Before committing to another one, you want an independent assessment of what went wrong and whether the next one is likely to work.
Consulting is the right fit for some situations and the wrong fit for others. We turn down engagements that aren't a match.
Teams that want someone to build for them
Consulting produces a roadmap and recommendations. If you need code written, you need a development engagement. We'll tell you which one fits after a discovery call, and if you engage us for consulting first, we can scope the build afterward.
Decisions that are already made
If you've already signed a contract with a vendor and just want validation, we're not the right fit. Independent consulting is only useful if you're genuinely open to hearing that a different path is better.
Describe the AI decision you're trying to make. We'll reply within one business day with a rough scope and price range — no commitment required.
