AI Consulting from Engineers Who Build the Systems

What AI consulting should deliver for your business

Useful advice ends in decisions, not slides. An engagement should leave you knowing which use cases to pursue first, which to leave alone, what each requires in data, integration and people, and what could go wrong. We arrive at that by looking closely at how work is actually done. We sit with the teams involved, review sample documents and tickets, and inspect the systems an AI solution would need to read from and write to.

Each candidate is then scored on the same dimensions: the effort it removes or the revenue it supports, technical feasibility with current models, the state of the underlying data, the cost of an error, and how easily it fits existing systems. Some ideas turn out to need ordinary automation rather than AI, and we say so. The result is a short, ranked list with reasoning your leadership team can examine and challenge.

• Ranked use cases with clear reasoning
• Data and integration gaps identified
• Risk assessment for each candidate
• Build, buy or wait recommendations
• Success measures agreed in advance

From AI strategy to a tested proof of concept

A strategy that has never touched real data is a guess. For the leading use case we build a proof of concept that does. We gather representative inputs, define with your experts what a correct output looks like, and assemble a small evaluation set. The prototype is measured against it, including the difficult cases. You see where the approach works, where it fails, and what it would take to close the gap in a production build.

The same evaluation informs vendor and model selection. We run hosted models from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic and open-weight models such as Llama through identical tests, and compare quality, latency, running cost and data terms. If your data cannot leave your environment, private hosting is costed alongside the alternatives. You receive a written recommendation, the test results behind it, and an implementation plan you can take forward with us or with your own team.
