AI consulting

Determining where AI and automation belong, before committing to investment.

A significant proportion of AI investment is directed at the wrong problems in the wrong order. Our consulting work helps you decide what to build, what to procure and what to set aside, then arrange those decisions into a sequence that delivers a return.

We approach this from the perspective of the business. Our background is in finance, operations and sales, so the analysis begins with what the work costs and what it returns, rather than with the latest available model.

Engagements are short and concrete. We examine how the work is currently performed, identify where AI or automation would return more than it costs, and provide a roadmap that could be implemented by any competent team, including our own.

The questions we help answer

Where does AI deliver a return?
We assess your processes and identify which are worth automating and which are best left unchanged. The objective is return on investment, not the adoption of technology for its own sake.
Build or procure?
Some requirements are met by an existing product available on subscription. Others require a custom solution, because the process in question is central to how the organisation operates. We advise on which applies, without a commercial interest in recommending a build.
In what sequence?
Most organisations have a number of processes that could be automated. We prioritise them by return and dependency, so that the first system funds and informs the next, rather than stalling on the most difficult.
What does adopting AI involve in practice?
We translate a general intention into a concrete roadmap: specific systems, the function of each, the cost of operating them, and the conditions required for them to work.

What you receive

A roadmap of specific systems, sequenced by return and dependency, each with a defined function and an estimated cost of operation. Whether you implement it with us, with your own team, or through an off-the-shelf product remains your decision.
