Do I need AI consulting if I already have an AI idea?

Yes. Even with an idea, strategy consulting ensures you're solving the right problem, you've thought through risks, and your plan is realistic and aligned with your business.

What's the ROI of AI consulting?

Consulting typically saves 2–3x its cost by helping you avoid bad investments, identify better opportunities, and accelerate successful implementations.

How long is the strategy valid?

6–12 months depending on your industry's pace of change. We recommend quarterly reviews to adjust priorities as new opportunities emerge.

What if we're not ready for AI yet?

That's fine. Consulting sometimes reveals that you should focus on data quality, team skills, or process optimisation before diving into AI. We're honest about readiness.

Can consulting include hands-on implementation?

Yes. Some clients hire us for strategy + ongoing support. Others do strategy, then hire specialists to execute. We'll recommend what makes sense for you.

How much should we budget for AI?

Depends on scale. Startups might spend £5–20k total; mid-market companies £50–200k+; enterprises significantly more. We'll help you prioritise and budget wisely.

What are common AI pitfalls you help us avoid?

Over-investing in the wrong problems, underestimating data quality needs, moving too fast without governance, hiring wrong expertise, and building systems that don't deliver business value.
