AI
AI consulting is the work of deciding where AI genuinely helps your business and where it would be an expensive answer to a problem a rule already solves, then sequencing the work so the first project is small enough to succeed.
Stated as we hear it, before any mention of what we would do about it.
Qualitative, because we do not publish numbers we cannot evidence.
Scope
3–5 weeks.
The boundary
Naming the boundary early removes the most common source of disappointment in an engagement.
Then that is the recommendation, and we will say which parts of the process to fix instead. Most failed AI programmes we see started with the technology rather than the constraint.

Leadership teams under pressure to have an AI answer; Businesses that tried a pilot and got nowhere; and Companies unsure which processes are even candidates
Process assessment against genuine AI suitability; Cost, risk and data-handling review; A sequenced roadmap with a deliberately small first project; and Honest assessment of where AI is the wrong tool
Leadership is under pressure to have an AI position and no basis to choose; A pilot was run, produced nothing, and left scepticism behind; and Nobody can say which processes are even candidates
A clear view of which processes AI suits and which it does not; A sequenced roadmap with a first project small enough to succeed; and An honest answer where a rule engine would be cheaper and more reliable
Recommending AI where a rule engine would be correct and cheaper
