Wrong process targeted
Teams automate what's visible, not what pays. We map your full workflow to surface where AI actually moves the needle — and where it'd be wasted effort.
AI Strategy Consulting · B2B
AI strategy consulting that skips the theatre
From "should we use AI" to deployed, ROI-positive systems. Decision-grade advisory backed by hands-on implementation. No 60-page decks, no buzzword bingo.
Why strategy first
Most AI failures aren't technical. They're choices made too fast.
Vendor lock-in trap
Tooling decisions made early often hardcode you into stacks that won't scale or pivot. We document trade-offs so you can switch later without rebuilding everything.
No change management
AI systems that ship without buy-in get bypassed. We address adoption explicitly — who's impacted, how teams are upskilled, how trust is earned.
What we cover
AI strategy, end to end
AI audit
Structured diagnostic of your processes. Output: prioritized list of automations worth doing, with ROI math and feasibility notes.
Roadmap design
Phased implementation plan with milestones, dependencies, and decision gates. Built so you can adjust without losing time already invested.
Vendor selection
Tool shortlists with hard criteria. We're agnostic — no vendor commissions, no resale relationships. Just experience-based recommendations.
Make vs buy analysis
For each capability: when does an off-the-shelf SaaS work, when do you need custom build, when does a freelance hire fit best. Documented with TCO ranges.
Change management
Adoption planning: communication, training, escalation paths. Strategy that ignores people is strategy that doesn't deliver.
Ongoing advisory
Monthly retainer for active engagements: tool re-evaluation, new use case scoping, vendor renegotiation, team coaching.
Engagement formats
Three ways to work with us
- 1
Free AI audit
The entry point. Structured diagnostic, actionable deliverable, no commitment. Often the only step needed.
- 2
Strategic retainer
Monthly engagement for active programs: roadmap iteration, vendor management, new use case validation, team coaching.
- 3
Board-level advisory
Day-rate engagements for specific strategic questions: transformation plan review, investment thesis validation, M&A due diligence on AI assets.
How is AI strategy consulting different from a typical IT advisory?
We deliver decisions, not slides. Our recommendations come with implementation cost ranges, vendor shortlists, and a decision tree on make vs buy. You leave each engagement with something actionable, not another framework.
Who is this for?
B2B leadership teams (CEO, COO, CTO, Head of Ops) who need clarity on AI investment before allocating budget. Also useful for boards evaluating an AI transformation plan or product teams choosing between competing AI capabilities.
What's the first step?
A free AI audit. Structured diagnostic, actionable deliverable, no commitment. From there, we can move into ongoing strategic advisory, hands-on implementation, or simply give you a roadmap to execute internally.
Do you have a sector specialty?
We work across B2B operations, sales, support, finance. Our depth is on the AI/automation stack, not on a specific industry. We pair our technical expertise with your sector knowledge.
Can you help with vendor and tool selection?
Yes. We're tool-agnostic and don't take vendor commissions. Our shortlists are built on actual deployment experience: which tools scale, which break, which lock you in. We write the criteria, you make the choice.
What about change management?
We address it explicitly: who's impacted, how teams are upskilled, how trust is built with AI-augmented workflows. Strategy that ignores adoption is strategy that doesn't deliver.
Do you stay involved during implementation?
Optional. Some clients use us as a strategic anchor while their internal team executes; others outsource implementation to us directly. We adapt the engagement format to your structure.
How are engagements structured?
Three common formats: short-form strategic audits, ongoing monthly retainers for active engagements, and day-rate advisory for board-level questions. We propose the format after the free audit, based on what fits your real need.
