Service · AI Consulting
Strategy, model selection, hand-over — you run it.
Vendor-neutral AI advisory for teams who want a clear path, not hype. We leave you with a working proof on your own data — not a slide deck.
§01 — What we advise onAreas of engagement
The full decision surface — from which model to pick, to whether you should build it at all.
Model selection
Which model fits the job — by cost, latency, privacy, and accuracy. Not the loudest one.
Architecture & workflow fit
Where AI sits in your stack and your team's actual day — not a bolt-on.
Vendor & risk assessment
Lock-in, pricing shifts, model deprecation — the risks before you commit.
Build-vs-buy
When an off-the-shelf tool wins, and when a custom build actually pays off.
Rollout strategy
A staged path from pilot to production — with the off-ramps written down.
Team enablement
Your people learn to run it — patterns, prompts, and guardrails they keep.
§02 — How we engageThe roadmap
A four-stop roadmap from open question to a system you own.
The middle stop is the point: a working proof, not a slide deck.
Stop 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, and what 'good' looks like for your team.
Stop 02
Assess
Models, vendors, and build-vs-buy weighed against your constraints.
Stop 03
Prove
A working proof-of-concept on your real data — tested, measured, honest.
A proof, not slidesStop 04
Hand off
Docs, patterns, and enablement — your team runs it without us.
Engaged hourly or as a fixed-scope sprint
§03 — Choosing the right modelModel framework
No single model wins everything. We weigh your constraints — vendor-neutral — and recommend the right tool.

Depends on fit
Illustrative fit, not a benchmark — vendor and model names stay out. Your numbers decide.
§04 — What you getConcrete deliverables
Five concrete deliverables you keep — a working proof at the centre, not a deck.
A model + architecture recommendation
The pick, the fallback, and where it sits in your stack — reasoned against your constraints.
A working proof-of-concept
Running on your real data, with the numbers it actually hit — the heart of the engagement.
A cost + risk assessment
Projected spend at scale, vendor lock-in, and the failure modes — written plainly.
A rollout plan
A staged path from pilot to production, with the milestones and off-ramps marked.
Team enablement & docs
Patterns, prompts, and guardrails so your people run it after we step away.

§06 — FAQ
Frequently asked
Five quick answers before the call.
Is this hourly or fixed?
Both. Hourly advisory blocks suit a single decision or review. A fixed-scope sprint suits an assessment plus a working proof. We pick the fit on the intro call and confirm the rate before anything starts.
Do you build, or just advise?
We build a working proof — running on your real data — then hand it over. The point of the engagement is a proof you can judge, not a slide deck. Production build-out can follow, but you're never locked into it.
Which models or vendors do you recommend?
Whichever wins on your numbers. We're vendor-neutral by default — small, frontier, or self-hosted are all on the table. You get a primary pick, a fallback, and the switch cost if priorities change later.
Do you stay on after the hand-over?
Only if you want us to. Hand-over includes docs, patterns, and enablement so your team can run it alone. A retainer is available if you'd rather keep a standing strategy partner as the work scales.
How fast can we start?
Quickly — advisory blocks can start within days of the intro call. A sprint is scheduled once scope and data access are agreed, usually within a couple of weeks.
