AI Strategy Consulting
AI Strategy & Roadmap
Decide what AI to build (and not build) before you spend the budget.
A focused engagement for product teams considering AI. We pressure-test the user problem, evaluate data readiness, model the cost and latency at scale, and map a sequence of features ranked by feasibility and impact. You leave with a written roadmap your engineering team can act on.
What you get
- Free 30-minute strategy call (no card, no follow-up sequence)
- Written 48-hour AI Integration Audit on request
- Prioritised feature list with build/buy/skip recommendations
- Cost-at-scale model for the recommended AI stack
Frequently asked questions
We run a tight build loop that keeps scope, cost, and risk visible. Most engagements start with a short discovery to align on the outcome, constraints, and success metrics. Then we ship in weekly iterations with demos, clear milestones, and written updates so your team always knows what’s next.
- Kickoff: goals, users, constraints, and success metrics
- Plan: milestone-based roadmap + risks + assumptions
- Build: weekly shipping cadence with demos and changelogs
- Harden: QA, performance, monitoring, and launch checklist
- Handoff: docs, repo access, runbooks, and knowledge transfer
Pricing depends on the scope, speed, and reliability you need. We can work as a fixed-scope milestone (when requirements are clear) or as a weekly retainer (when you want speed and flexibility). In both cases, you get a written plan and a transparent breakdown of what’s included.
- Typical drivers: #workflows, integrations, data complexity, and quality bar
- AI-specific drivers: evaluation, observability, safety/guardrails, and cost controls
- We’ll share a range after a short call and a written scope before we start
Timelines depend on complexity and how quickly we can validate requirements and access data. We’ll propose milestones early so you can make decisions with real checkpoints instead of waiting until the end to see progress.
- Discovery + plan: a few days to 1 week
- First shippable milestone: 1–3 weeks (depending on access + scope)
- Production hardening: ongoing (tests, monitoring, performance, security)
You get working software, not a slide deck. We deliver production-ready code, documentation, and operational basics so your team can run and extend what we ship. If you already have engineers, we prioritize clean handoff and long-term maintainability.
- Code in your repo (or a repo you control), with PR-based delivery
- Documentation: setup, architecture notes, and key decisions
- Runbooks: how to deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot
- Handoff session with your team (and follow-up support if needed)
