Where the hours go
We talk to the people doing the work — not just the bosses — and find where time, money, and patience leak out.
Capability / Strategy
AI strategy that ends in a plan you can build, not a slide deck.
Everyone says "we should be doing something with AI." Nobody agrees on what, or what it costs. Our AI strategy and adoption consulting answers both — in two weeks, with prices attached.
A real AI plan is one an engineer can start on Monday.
Most AI strategy decks are wish lists. Big words, heat maps, nothing anyone can actually build. Six months later the market has moved and the deck hasn't. We do strategy like builders: every idea on the plan comes with a scope, a price, an owner, and a way to tell if it worked.
And because we're usually the ones who build it, we can't hide behind vague advice. If something on the plan can't be built, that's our problem in week three — not yours in a year. When the right answer is "buy a tool" or "fix your data first," that's what the plan says.
01/ What you get
The two-week AI plan, piece by piece.
A reality check
Every idea gets tested against your actual systems and data. The wishful ones die here, while they're still free.
Build, buy, or wait
For each idea: build it custom, buy a tool, or wait — with the reasons written down for the next vendor pitch.
An order that makes sense
What to do first, second, and third — ranked by payback, each step small enough to start right away.
Simple rules for AI use
One page your team will actually follow: what data can go where, when a human must approve, which tools are okay.
A plan people will use
Training by role and a way to measure use — because a perfect tool nobody opens is still a waste of money.
02/ How it works
Two weeks, four working sessions.
01
Learn the businessDays 1–3
We sit with your teams and learn how the work really flows — not how the org chart says it does.
02
Find the winnersDays 4–7
Every idea gets scored: how much it's worth, how hard it is, how fast it goes live. Your data's real shape is part of the score.
03
Argue about itDays 8–11
We draft the plan and pressure-test it with your leaders. Disagreeing now is cheap. Disagreeing in month six is not.
04
Hand over the planDays 12–14
Priced, ordered, and ready to fund. Build with us, build in-house, or hire someone else — the plan works either way.
Fixed fee. Two weeks. The plan is yours to keep, whoever builds it.

03/ Straight answers
Questions we get on the first call.
How is this different from a big consulting firm's AI strategy?
Speed, price, and skin in the game. Big-firm projects run months and end in frameworks. Ours runs two weeks and ends in builds with prices on them. The deeper difference: we're usually the team that builds the plan, so bad advice embarrasses us fast. A firm that never builds never has to be right.
Do we need a strategy before building anything?
Not always. If you have one obvious, valuable idea — skip the strategy and scope that build. Doing teaches faster than planning. The two-week plan earns its fee when there are lots of competing ideas, real safety concerns, or leaders who need one shared answer before money moves. We'll tell you which case you're in on the first call, free.
What does "AI adoption consulting" mean in practice?
The unglamorous work that decides whether AI sticks: picking tools people will actually use, training each role on what matters to them, adjusting the workflow around the new tool, setting simple usage rules, and measuring whether it's being used. Launching is a day. Adoption is a habit. We plan for the habit.
Our last AI project stalled. Can you restart it?
That's half our strategy work, honestly. Stalls usually come down to one of four things: wrong task, missing data, a tool the team hated, or nobody owning it. The two-week plan finds which one killed yours. Good news: restarts often go live faster than fresh starts, because the old work isn't worthless — just unfinished.
Want the plan by the end of the month?
Two weeks from kickoff to a priced, ready-to-build plan. The first call costs you thirty minutes.
No theater. No black boxes. Scoped in one call.
