AI Implementation Consulting
Stop guessing where AI fits. Get a build plan you can actually ship.
Most AI consulting ends with a slide deck and a bill. This ends with a build plan: the three highest-ROI agent opportunities in your business, mapped to your tools, your data, and your team — with cost models, eval criteria, and a rollout schedule. Two weeks. If you hire us to build, the consulting fee credits 100% toward the engagement.

Most AI consulting hands you a deck. We hand you a build plan.
Two weeks. One opinion. Zero fluff.
You don’t need another vendor pitching their stack. You need a clear-eyed map of where AI fits in YOUR business — and where it absolutely does not. Two weeks of process mapping, ROI modeling, and tool audit. You walk away knowing what to build, what to buy, and what to skip. If you hire us to build, the entire fee credits toward the engagement.
The architecture, end to end
No black boxes. Here\u2019s the actual shape of the system you get \u2014 with the guardrails, eval loops, and human approvals where they belong.
How a 2-week consult flows
From your messiest workflows to a ranked, costed build plan.
Real use cases we ship
Operations-heavy SMB
Quotes, scheduling, vendor coordination eating 30+ hours/week of manual work.
Customer-facing teams
Support tickets and follow-ups where 80% of replies are template-shaped.
Document-heavy workflows
Contracts, invoices, intake forms — anything that gets re-typed into a system.
Data already exists, nobody reads it
CRM, sheets, and inboxes loaded with signal that never reaches a decision.
What you get
How the agent thinks
The decision graph behind the engagement. Inputs, branches, and the point where a human stays in the loop.
How we run this engagement
Concrete phases, concrete artifacts. You always know where we are and what comes next.
Discovery
Calls with you and 2–3 team members. Map current workflows, tools, data sources, pain points. Identify the moments where AI could meaningfully help.
Opportunity sizing
For the top 5–7 candidate workflows, model the ROI: time saved, error reduction, cost-per-task. Estimate build effort and monthly run cost.
Build plan
Rank the top 3, recommend a sequence, identify dependencies. Final report + Loom walkthrough + 60-minute review call.

Honest answers
Is this just a deck?
No. Decks are easy and useless. You get a build plan with concrete next steps, cost numbers, and an opinion on what to skip. If you want a deck, we can render the build plan as one — but the value is in the recommendations, not the slides.
What if you find AI isn't a fit?
You get told that, in writing. The most valuable consulting outcome is sometimes "don't do this." We'd rather lose the build engagement than waste your money on something that won't work.
Does the fee really credit toward a build?
Yes — 100%. If you hire us to build any of the recommended agents within 60 days, the consulting fee comes off the build invoice. It's not a discount; it's a credit.
Do I need technical staff to engage you?
No. We talk to whoever runs the business and whoever runs the tools. If that's the same person, even better.
Ready to scope this for your business?
Book a 30-minute discovery call. No pitch deck. We'll either confirm fit and send a proposal, or tell you straight that this isn't the right move.
