AI Strategy Advisory
The counsel, without the $400K seat.
Vendor-neutral strategy, selection, and implementation guidance. Aligned to your goals and risk, not to a partner ranking.
What we are hired to end.
No coherent plan
Everyone is talking. Nobody has a strategy the board can fund.
Vendor weather
The landscape changes weekly. We cut it to what actually fits.
Wasted spend
Pilots that go nowhere. Licenses nobody uses. We have seen the pattern.
Governance gaps
Moving fast without guardrails is a liability. We write the rules that let you move.
Stakeholder split
IT, leadership, and operations in three different rooms. We put them in one.
Stalled work
Started, faded, drawer. We diagnose why, and restart only what deserves it.
How a retainer unfolds.
- Month 1
Assess & align
Current state, constraints, AIDA baseline, the three highest-ROI bets.
- Months 2–3
Strategize
Roadmap, vendor evaluation, governance, change plan.
- Months 4–9
Execute
In the room for negotiations, pilots, workshops, and executive updates.
- Ongoing
Optimize
Measure, cut, scale. Guidance as the stack and the policy evolve.
Two shapes. Public prices.
