AI strategy and implementation consulting for organizations that need to separate signal from hype — and ship things that actually pay back.
What you get when this service is part of a Yab engagement. Scoped per project.
Workshops to find the places in your business where AI actually pays back — and the places where the hype is louder than the value.
Independent assessment of LLM providers, RAG tooling, agent frameworks, and vertical AI products. No reseller relationships, no kickbacks.
Short, scoped pilots that prove or disprove the value of an AI use case in weeks, not quarters. With a real success metric agreed before we start.
What to build, what to buy, what to wait on. Sequenced, budgeted, with the integration map and the data dependencies called out.
Acceptable-use policy, data handling, model risk management, audit logging — the things you'll wish you'd done before scale, done first.
Training your engineering and operations teams on the parts they need to know. We don't want to be the only ones who understand the AI stack you run.
Operating numbers and posture you can quote back to us. These are commitments, not aspirations.
Real engagements where this service was load-bearing. Click through for full case studies.
EHR-integrated patient intake, referral coordination, and clinical document handling across six clinics.
NetSuite-integrated B2B commerce with account pricing, quote workflows, and a customer portal that handles 80% of orders.
Clinic-facing ordering, result delivery, and account portal integrated with LabWare LIMS and clinic EHRs.
The shape of a typical engagement. Phases overlap on larger projects, but the sequence is the same.
We sit with leadership and operations to identify the workflows where AI realistically pays back. Most orgs leave this session with 3–5 candidate use cases.
Each candidate use case gets sized on impact, feasibility, and risk. We narrow to the 1–2 worth piloting now and the ones worth revisiting in a year.
A short, scoped pilot with a success metric agreed in writing. If it works, we scale it. If it doesn't, we say so and you save the budget.
Successful pilots become production systems with monitoring, governance, and the right team trained to run them.
Sectors where we’ve done this service often enough to know the patterns — and the patterns that don’t work.
The things people ask before they reach out. If yours isn’t here, send it over — we’ll add it.
AI consulting is the work of figuring out where AI realistically pays back in your business and how to deploy it without setting money on fire. The deliverable is a written roadmap and, ideally, one or two pilots that prove (or disprove) the value before you commit to a multi-year platform.
There is no single best — the right choice depends on the workflow. Anthropic Claude and OpenAI lead on general-purpose reasoning; smaller open models win on cost and latency for narrow tasks; vertical AI products often beat general LLMs for things like document extraction or contact-center automation. We benchmark for your specific use case rather than recommending a default.
AI automation is using language models, vision models, or autonomous agents to do work that previously required a human in the loop — things like document review, customer triage, data entry, scheduling, and parts of underwriting. It's a subset of business automation, distinguished by being able to handle unstructured input that traditional automation can't.
Discovery and roadmap engagements start at $15k for a focused 2-week sprint. Pilots typically run $25k–$75k depending on the integrations involved. Production rollouts vary widely — we quote each phase in writing.
No. We have no reseller relationships, no platform partnerships that pay commissions, and no quotas to hit. That's deliberate — we want to be able to recommend the right tool for your situation, not the one that pays us.
Yes. Most engagements run on enterprise tenants of the major providers (with no-training agreements in place) or on self-hosted open models for sensitive workloads. The data handling design is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.
One reply within a business day. No sales pipeline. We’ll either propose a path or point you somewhere better.
