Overview

Most SMEs are told AI is the future—but nobody tells them where to actually start or which problems AI can realistically solve for their business. The result? Wasted budget on pilots that go nowhere, tools that don't integrate with existing operations, and AI implementations that sound impressive but deliver no measurable ROI.

Our AI Strategy & Consulting service cuts through the hype and gives you what enterprise clients get: a clear, operationally-grounded roadmap for adopting AI where it actually makes business sense. We've helped clients like BuiltMG scale from $25M to $70M in annual revenue without adding overhead costs—by identifying and automating the right operational challenges with AI.

We start by understanding how your business operates today, identify the automation opportunities that will deliver real ROI, and build a phased implementation plan that accounts for your current systems, team capabilities, and growth objectives. Every recommendation is tied to measurable outcomes—not AI for AI's sake, but intelligent automation that solves real operational problems and scales with your business.

Process

Every engagement follows a structured, collaborative approach designed to turn operational challenges into practical solutions. From understanding your business reality to deploying systems that deliver measurable impact, we work closely with your team to ensure each step aligns with how you actually operate and scales seamlessly as you grow.

Ideation

01

Dive into your operations to find where time is lost, errors occur, and the biggest opportunities exist. You get clarity on what to automate first and why it matters.

Strategy

02

Design a solution around how your business actually works—no off-the-shelf compromises. You get a technical blueprint tailored to your tools, data, and workflows.

Implementation

03

Roll it out, connect it to your existing systems, and ensure your team knows how to use it. You get efficiency gains from day one with no disruption.

Optimization

04

Refine performance and expand capabilities as your business evolves. Your systems grow with you, driving sustained improvement.

Deliverables

AI Strategy & Consulting gives SMEs access to the strategic AI guidance typically reserved for enterprise clients. Our deliverables focus on cutting through AI hype to identify what will actually work for your business—prioritizing practical ROI, operational fit, and scalable implementation.

We've built proprietary AI platforms from scratch in 8 weeks and helped operational businesses automate processes worth millions monthly—combining technical expertise with operational understanding to ensure AI investments solve real problems rather than just checking a technology trend box.

01

AI Readiness Assessment

A comprehensive evaluation of your current operations, data quality, systems, and team capabilities. We identify where AI can deliver meaningful impact, what technical gaps need addressing, and which operational challenges are actually good candidates for automation. This assessment prevents wasted investment in AI solutions that don't fit your operational reality or that your current infrastructure can't support.

AI Roadmap & Priority Plan

A phased strategy that tells you exactly where to start, what to build next, and how to scale AI across your business. The roadmap includes estimated effort, timelines, resource requirements, risk factors, and projected ROI for each initiative. This gives you a confident implementation path with clear business justification for each investment—no more guessing whether an AI project is worth pursuing.

Use-Case Identification & Validation

Structured sessions with your team to uncover where AI can solve real operational problems. We evaluate each potential use case for technical feasibility, implementation cost, data requirements, and business impact—ensuring you pursue initiatives that deliver measurable ROI, not just interesting technology experiments. Each validated use case comes with clear success metrics and expected outcomes.

Data Strategy & Governance Framework

A practical plan for organizing and governing your data to support AI adoption. This includes data architecture recommendations, quality standards, compliance requirements, and processes that keep information consistent and accessible. We focus on what's actually achievable for SMEs—not enterprise-scale data warehouses, but pragmatic approaches that give AI systems the clean, reliable data they need to deliver results.

Architecture & Tech Stack Recommendations

A clear overview of which AI tools, platforms, and services make sense for your specific needs and budget. We recommend solutions that integrate with your current systems, scale as you grow, and don't require enterprise-level budgets or specialist teams to maintain. This includes model options (build vs. buy), automation platforms, integration approaches, and deployment strategies designed for SME operational reality.
