AI Consulting & Strategy

AI-readiness audit, independent vendor selection, deployment roadmap aligned with EU AI Act.

The problem

Companies wanting out of PoC-purgatory — they did 3-4 AI PoCs that never reached production. They don't know what went wrong: model, data, integrations, compliance, team? They need an honest external view, without vendor agenda.

How it works

1
Week 1: discovery. Workshop with team, existing code audit, data audit, infra audit. Map of real obstacles (usually NOT the ones on the slides).
2
Week 2-3: decisions. Build vs. buy per component, vendor matrix if applicable (independent — we receive no referral fees), risk assessment, cost-benefit with real KPIs.
3
Week 4-6: roadmap. Plan in 4-6 week stages with concrete deliverables + GO/NO-GO criteria. Your teams can run it alone or with us in the backseat.
4
Optional: implementation oversight. We work hand-in-hand with internal team, code review, decision sparring, without taking your team's job.

Capabilities

AI-readiness audit

5-dimension evaluation: data (quality, governance, accessibility), tech stack, team (skills, capacity), processes (how decisions are governed), realistic budget.

Build vs. buy decision matrix

For each AI system component: buy SaaS, buy open-source + integrate, build in-house. Explicit trade-off on cost, time-to-market, lock-in, control.

Independent vendor selection

We receive no referral fees from anyone. Comparison on real queries (not vendor benchmarks), limited POC if needed. Final recommendation based on what's good for you, not us.

EU AI Act compliance map

For your existing or planned AI systems: risk classification (minimal/limited/high/unacceptable), obligations per category, compliance roadmap with August 2026 deadline.

Phased deployment with KPIs

Roadmap isn't a long list of magic deadlines. It's phased (Phase 1 → trigger for Phase 2 → trigger for Phase 3) with measurable KPIs at each gate. If they don't pass, we stop and reconsider.

Deliverables

✓ AI-readiness assessment report (PDF + briefing)
✓ Decision matrices (build/buy + vendor)
✓ EU AI Act compliance plan
✓ Phased deployment roadmap with KPIs
✓ Optional: 3-12 months implementation oversight

Typical timeline

4-8 weeks assessment + roadmap. Implementation oversight: as needed.

FAQ

Do you work with CTOs or CFOs? +

With both. For CTO — technical discussions, code review, architecture decisions. For CFO — transparent cost-benefit, realistic ROI (not 'AI revolutionizes everything'), evaluable risk. We translate between them.

What does it cost? +

Discovery sprint: fixed cost (2 weeks). Full roadmap: time + materials with cap. Implementation oversight: monthly retainer. Exact figures in a 30-minute conversation, after we understand scope.

Do you work with public institutions? +

Yes, we've worked with central and local authorities on AI-readiness analysis and procurement RFPs. The administrative process is familiar to us (ANAP, financial preventive control, etc.).
