Expert Consultation & Strategy
90 minutes or 2–3 working sessions
A working session with a founder-engineer, shaped to the size of your question. Bring one decision (architecture, model choice, vendor selection, evaluation strategy) and leave a 90-minute session with a written summary. Or bring the wider question of where AI moves your business and leave two or three sessions later with a sequenced roadmap and a recommendation your board can read. Priced upfront, no pitch, no obligation to buy anything else.
What you get
- Ninety minutes with a founder-engineer on your specific question, or two to three working sessions for a full strategy
- A structured working session, not a discovery call. We come prepared
- Plain-language written summary of what we agreed and why
- For a strategy engagement: an opportunity map and a sequenced 6–12 month roadmap, with model choice, integration shape and a realistic cost band for each bet
- A recommendation written to be read by a CEO or board, plus one follow-up session after you circulate it
How this engagement runs
Scope
You send a short brief: the decision or the wider question, the constraints and the alternatives on the table. We come prepared with the reading and reference architectures done.
Plan
Agree the format (one session or a short strategy engagement), the time and any pre-reading. Price is agreed before the first session.
Build
Structured working sessions with your team, plus desk-work between them for a strategy. Options analysed, trade-offs surfaced, bets sequenced and costed.
Live
Within 48 hours of a single session, or at the end of a strategy engagement: plain language, board-ready, with one follow-up session included.
When it fits
You have an AI decision that is blocking you, or you know AI matters but not yet in which order or at what cost. You want a second opinion from a founder-engineer who has shipped systems that made that call in production, written down in plain language.
When it doesn't
If you already know exactly what to build, go straight to Build & Integrate. If the answer you want is a slide deck, or you need someone to sit alongside your team for months, this is not the shape. If you want a general discovery call to see whether we should work together, contact us; discovery is free, consultation is paid.
Common questions
The other way in.
Already know what to build? Build & Integrate takes it from proof of concept to production.
