AI Strategy & Advisory
Most teams know they need to do something with AI. Fewer know which bets are worth making or how to sequence them. Our AI strategy and advisory engagements give you the analytical foundation to make those calls well.
We work through your current processes, data, and tooling to identify where AI genuinely accelerates outcomes — and where it adds complexity without payoff. We evaluate build-versus-buy trade-offs, identify appropriate models and infrastructure, assess risk and governance requirements, and help you develop a prioritized roadmap you can actually execute. For executives, we translate technical trade-offs into business decisions. For technical leads, we get into the specifics. Most strategy engagements run four to eight weeks.
AI Training & Enablement
AI tools underperform when the teams using them haven't built the right mental models. Our training and enablement programs fix that — not with generic slide decks, but with workshops and coaching designed around your actual stack, workflows, and goals.
We offer half-day executive sessions covering AI decision-making and risk frameworks; multi-week practitioner programs for engineers, analysts, and knowledge workers who need hands-on fluency with large language models, retrieval systems, and AI-assisted tooling; and ongoing enablement coaching for teams in the middle of a rollout who need practical guidance rather than another vendor pitch. All programs are built around your team's real use cases.
Discovery, Roadmap, Execution
Every engagement starts with a straightforward conversation about your situation — your team, your data, your goals, and where you are in your AI journey. We don't arrive with a fixed playbook. We scope to what you actually need, and we structure work in three phases:
- Discovery. We learn your environment — processes, tools, data, and where the real problems live. We listen before we recommend. Output is a clear picture of what's worth pursuing and what isn't.
- Roadmap. We define the approach — what to build or change, in what order, with what resources, and why. Written, specific, and actionable. No consulting decks that live in a drawer.
- Execution. We work alongside your team through implementation, training, and iteration. The goal is to leave capability behind, not dependency on us.
- Ongoing advisory. Some clients want a standing resource after the initial engagement — someone to pressure-test decisions, evaluate new tools, and stay involved as their AI program evolves. We offer that too.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is applied AI consulting?
Applied AI consulting means helping organizations solve real problems using AI — not theorizing about it. That includes evaluating which tools and approaches are right for a given use case, building strategy and implementation roadmaps, and training teams to work with AI effectively. The focus is on what works in your actual environment, not on demos or abstractions.
What industries do you work with?
Any industry where decisions, data, or knowledge work are central to the business. We intentionally don't specialize in a single vertical — the underlying AI techniques are broadly transferable, and deep domain expertise is something you already have on your team. Our job is to bring AI fluency to the problem, not to learn your industry from scratch.
Do you work with enterprises or startups?
Both. Enterprise teams typically need help navigating organizational complexity, procurement constraints, and governance requirements around AI adoption. Startups usually need faster decisions and leaner implementations. The framing differs, but the core work — figuring out where AI creates value and how to build it well — is the same.
What does an engagement typically look like?
Most engagements begin with a paid discovery session — a few days to a week — that produces a written summary of findings and options. From there, work moves into a strategy roadmap phase or directly into hands-on implementation, depending on what you need. Duration ranges from a focused two-week sprint to an ongoing advisory relationship. We don't sell retainers you don't need.
Do you offer team training and workshops?
Yes. We run both standalone workshops and multi-week enablement programs, customized to your team's role, tools, and current AI fluency. Sessions can cover AI literacy for leadership, technical implementation for engineers, or workflow integration for analysts and knowledge workers. All programs are built around your team's actual use cases, not generic curricula.
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
We're based in the Pacific Northwest and work remotely with clients anywhere. Most engagements are conducted over video calls, with on-site workshops available for teams that benefit from in-person delivery.
