AI consultancy
Where a model helps, and where it does not. AI proposal reviews, model choice and cost, and automation without a model when that is the better answer.
What it is
A straight answer on AI. We will tell you where a model helps and where it does not, what it costs to run, and when plain automation does the job better.
What we usually build
- AI proposal reviews
- Model choice and cost
- Automation without a model
What changes
- Before: Wondering whether AI could help.After: a straight answer on the first call.
- Before: Documents read and retyped by hand.After: read, extracted and checked for you.
- Before: AI costs nobody can predict.After: running costs agreed up front.
Before you call
- Who it's for
- Businesses being sold AI, or wondering whether it could help, who want a straight answer before they spend money on it. Usually the owner, or whoever has to sign the proposal off.
- What you're left holding
- A straight answer on where a model helps, where it does not, and what it would cost to run. If we build it, you also get the source code, every account it runs on, the deployment, and plain-English instructions somebody who did not build it can follow.
Every job is scoped first, then given a fixed quote and dates in writing.
Questions people ask
Will you tell us if we do not need AI?
Yes. Sometimes plain automation does the job better, and we will say so.
Before anything is built you hear where a model helps, where it does not, and what it would cost to run.
Do you build it, or only advise?
Both, and the advice is better for the building. We write the code, put it live, and run it afterwards if you want us to.
Most of what we have built we still look after, which is why we can tell you what a thing costs to keep running.
How does a job start?
With a thirty minute call about what is slow. If there is work in it, we write a scope: what we will build, what it does, and a do-not-build list so the edges are agreed before anyone starts.
Then a fixed quote, in writing. Nothing begins until you have read both.
What happens at handover?
You get the source, the accounts it runs on, the deployment, and written instructions somebody who did not build it can follow.
If you never speak to us again it carries on working, and that is the test we build to.
