AI consulting that ships working software.
The average AI "readiness assessment" gets you a PDF. Ours gets you a working system in production within 6 weeks. We don't pretend AI is strategy — it's execution.

What AI consulting should actually deliver
Most AI consulting engagements end in a slide deck. You paid €30K–€80K for a "roadmap" that lives in a shared drive. The problem isn't that the advice was bad — it's that nothing got built.
Real AI consulting has to include the build. Identify the use cases, score them by ROI, propose the stack, and then ship it. Anything else is just selling confidence.
Our consulting engagements are structured so the output is always working software running in your real environment — not a document describing what could be built if you hired someone else to do it.
How we consult (and then build)
Opportunity audit
2-week sprint mapping your current workflows, identifying AI-viable use cases, and scoring them by ROI and effort.
Scoped proposal
We pick the top 1–2 opportunities and write a tight build proposal: scope, tech choices, integration points, success metrics.
Build + deploy
Weekly sprints, demos at the end of each. Deployed into your real environment — your Slack, your ERP, your CRM.
Measure + evolve
Metrics tracked from day one. If the system isn't creating value in 30 days, we change course instead of invoicing another quarter.
Good fit for
Good fit
- Companies or founders with clear operational bottlenecks
- Willing to ship into real environments, not sandboxes
- €10K+/month operational waste that AI could remove
- Open to measuring results against pre-agreed metrics
Not a good fit
- Looking for a strategy deck with no build attached
- Require the consultant to also run change management at board level
- Pre-PMF startups (premature to automate)

Questions we hear all the time
What does a typical AI consulting engagement cost?
Opportunity audits are fixed-fee (2 weeks). Build engagements are fixed-scope per project. For most mid-market projects, total investment is €15K–€80K depending on integration complexity.
Do you work with our existing vendors?
Yes. We integrate with your current ERP, CRM, or SaaS stack. We don't require ripping out what you have.
What if we're not sure AI is the right answer?
The opportunity audit tells you honestly whether AI is the right fix. If a mature tool or a process change solves the problem better, we'll say so — and walk away from the build.
Do you provide training to our team?
Yes. Every deployed system includes a handover with docs, Loom walkthroughs, and a support window.
