What strategy looks like when it ships.
The same approach, applied to five kinds of company, ended in live systems.
Government contracting
Proposals cut from 60 hours to under one.
A federal contractor bidding on $10M+ contracts could only submit 3–4 proposals a quarter, because each one took about 60 hours to assemble by hand. We built an AI workflow that pulls past performance, checks compliance and formats to spec, so the team now submits 12+ a quarter.
<1 hper proposal, down from ~603xproposal capacity+23%win rateSaaS / Software
85% of support tickets resolved by AI.
A SaaS company with 50,000+ users had its best agents answering the same questions all day, and customers waited two hours for a reply. We built an AI assistant trained on their past tickets that answers instantly and hands complex cases to a person with full context.

Claims processed 75% faster.
A regional insurer's adjusters spent 70% of their time on routine claims, so every claim took 15 days. We built an AI that reads the documents and photos, checks the policy and recommends a decision, so adjusters only handle the complex cases.
600+hours back every month99.5%decision accuracy+30%capacity, no new hiresE-commerce / D2C
Every lead contacted in under 20 seconds.
A home goods brand spending $40K a month on ads took 6–12 hours to reply to new leads, so many bought elsewhere. We built an AI system that replies by SMS, email or voice call within 20 seconds, day or night.

Manual invoice entry eliminated.
A boutique law firm's paralegals spent a quarter of their time retyping invoices, so billing ran late. We built an AI assistant that reads every invoice, matches it to the right case in Clio and syncs it to QuickBooks.

The problem
Strategy without a build goes nowhere.
60%
of organizations evaluated enterprise AI systems.
20%
reached the pilot stage.
5%
reached production.
Most companies have tested AI. Few have a system that runs in daily work. An AI transformation consultant should close that gap, not add a deck.
- Strategy as a document: A report lists AI ideas with no order and no numbers.Strategy that builds: Every repetitive process is mapped with the hours and dollars it costs you.
- Strategy as a document: Everything looks promising, so nothing gets picked.Strategy that builds: Use cases are ranked by payback: what to automate first and what to skip.
- Strategy as a document: The consultant hands over a roadmap and leaves.Strategy that builds: The same team builds the first system and stays until it works.
- Strategy as a document: Pilots run on the side of the real work.Strategy that builds: Systems connect to your CRM, inbox, phone and the tools you already use.
- Strategy as a document: Nobody knows what the plan will cost until later.Strategy that builds: A fixed-price proposal with exact scope and timeline comes before anything starts.
A roadmap only counts once something runs.

How it works
The Payback Loop. Five steps. Each build pays for the next.
We don't start with the AI. We start with the money.
Consulting
We find the manual work in your company and how many hours each task eats every week.
Process mapConsulting
We put a dollar figure on each process and rank them by payback. You see what to automate first, and what to leave alone.
AI roadmap, ranked by paybackImplementation
We build the first system on the tools you already use. Nothing new for your team to learn.
A working systemImplementation
We test it end to end before launch. It doesn't go live until it works without errors.
Tested, system liveSupport
The first build pays back fastest, so its savings fund the next one. Back to the map, and we keep every system running.
Monthly support (optional)
↺ Back to Map
Consultancies stop at the roadmap. Freelancers build without one. The loop only works when one team runs all five. You approve, we execute: about an hour a week from you.

FAQ
Questions about AI strategy consulting.
- An AI strategy consultant finds where AI pays off in your company and sets the order to act. With us, the same team then builds the first system and proves it works on your current tools.
- An AI readiness assessment is a review of your processes, data and tools that shows which work is ready for AI and what must change first. Ours maps each repetitive process with its hours and dollars.
- An AI roadmap is a ranked plan of what to automate and in what order. Ours ranks use cases by payback, so you know what to automate first and what to skip. It takes 1 to 2 weeks.
- The assessment looks at your repetitive processes, the data they use and the tools they run on, such as your CRM, inbox, phone and accounting. Then it puts hours and dollars on each process.
- MIT's 2025 research found only 5% of enterprises have AI tools integrated in workflows at scale, and names learning as the core barrier. That is why the roadmap ranks use cases by payback and says what to skip.
- The roadmap takes 1 to 2 weeks. Your first system is usually live in 14 to 21 days, and a full system takes 6 to 8 weeks. The fixed-price proposal confirms the exact timeline before you commit.
- No. We build on what you already use: your CRM, email, phone, Slack and accounting tools. Your side needs about an hour a week to approve and give feedback.
- Close, but not the same. An AI maturity assessment rates how far a company has come with AI. Our AI readiness assessment is practical: which processes are ready now, what each one costs you and what to automate first.
