AI transformation that ships,
at a budget mid-market actually has.
You have a global-advisory quote on your desk and an 8-to-16 week board window. We deliver production AI in that window — at a fraction of the price — because our delivery team uses AI to build AI.
Three ways to buy AI consulting. Pick the one that fits.
Composite categories — no named firms. Where you sit in the band depends on engagement size and complexity, not vendor identity.
| Practitioner-led AI consulting Recommended for mid-market AdvantageWorks | Traditional management-consulting AI advisory Global advisory firms | Boutique AI dev shop Project-based custom build | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary deliverable | Production AI in flight | Strategy artifact + recommendations | Custom-built one-off |
| Weeks to first production workflow | 2–4 weeks | Multi-month assessment phase | 8–16 weeks per build |
| Price band | $5K Discovery · $8K–$25K/mo Fractional | Mid-five to six-figure assessment | Six-figure SOW per project |
| Artifact ownership | You own everything | Recommendations document | You own the build |
| Exit terms | Month-to-month, exit any phase | Multi-year roadmap engagement | Per-SOW |
| Best fit | Mid-market with a board-window decision | Fortune 500 strategic transformation | Single discrete project, no ongoing roadmap |
AI-enabled delivery
Why we cost less.
We're an AI-native delivery team. 200 engineers, 85% sustained AI adoption in 18 months — internal-verified. Our delivery cost is lower because our engineers use AI to build AI. We pass the savings through.
AI-enabled delivery team
200 engineers at 85% AI adoption, internally verified. The same engineering practice we ship to clients.
Production AI in weeks
Working systems in 2–4 weeks, not multi-month assessment cycles. Phased — exit after any phase.
Mid-market price point
AI-enabled delivery costs us less, so engagements that used to require Fortune-500 budgets now fit mid-market ones.
Where we don't fit
Where traditional advisory still wins.
We're not for every engagement. Here's where you should pick someone else.
Multi-year transformation programmes
Global rollout coordination across 50+ legal entities, change-management at enterprise scale. Not us. Global advisory firms do this well.
Pure executive advisory
Board governance, M&A integration, regulatory strategy without an implementation arm. Different service, different team.
Highly regulated audit trails
Tier-1 banking model risk, FDA-grade pharma-trial AI. We handle compliance-zone work, but we don't lead these regulated engagements.
The proof
We ran the transformation on ourselves first.
