Most AI consulting ends in a slide deck. Ours ends in a plan you own.

AI consulting · built for FinTech & HealthTech

Big firms sell six-month discovery and a strategy you can’t act on. We run a fixed-scope, one-week AI Strategy Sprint: the use cases worth doing, an honest build-vs-buy call, a governance plan, and a costed roadmap you keep. Then you decide, with a real number in front of you.

The honest version

What most AI consultants
won't tell you.

The AI consulting market runs on opaque hourly rates, months of "discovery", and a deck you can't act on, from a firm that also happens to sell the thing they recommend. We built the Strategy Sprint to be the opposite on all five.

Pricing
Hourly rates of $150 to $900 an hour, or a strategy engagement quoted only after a sales call.
Published fixed: $3,500 for the one-week Sprint, credited in full toward a pilot.
Speed
Weeks to months of discovery before you have anything you can act on.
One week, start to finish. A costed plan in your hands in five working days.
Deliverable
A slideware strategy that looks impressive and tells your team nothing to do on Monday.
A costed roadmap and a go/no-go your team can act on the day the Sprint ends.
Bias
The firm advising you also sells the platform, seats or build they end up recommending.
No platform, no licence, no seats to sell. If the honest answer is don't build yet, we tell you.
Ownership
The analysis, models and framework stay the consultancy's IP, and so does the leverage.
Every artefact is yours to keep, and the fee credits toward the build if you proceed.
What's inside

Four things you keep,
after one week.

Not a research report. Four practical artefacts, each one something your team can act on, all yours to keep whether or not you build with us.

1

Use-case shortlist

Every candidate AI use case in your business, ranked by ROI and feasibility, so you know exactly which one to do first and which to leave.

2

Build-vs-buy call

For each use case, an honest recommendation: build it, buy an existing tool, or leave it alone. Independent, because we have nothing to push.

3

Governance & risk plan

What it takes to run AI safely in a regulated business: permission limits, human checks, audit and the controls FinTech and HealthTech teams need.

4

Costed roadmap

What to do, in what order, and what each step costs, mapped to the 21-day pilot model, so the plan comes with real numbers, not ranges.

How it works

One week,
five working days.

A fixed-scope Sprint with a clear shape. You give us the goals and access on day one; you get a costed plan and a decision on day five.

Day 01

Discovery

We map your goals, systems, data and constraints in a focused working session. No lengthy audit.

Day 1
Day 02–03

Assess

We score candidate use cases on ROI and feasibility, and make the build-vs-buy call on each.

Days 2–3
Day 04

Plan

We build the governance plan and the costed roadmap, ordered by value and mapped to real numbers.

Day 4
Day 05

Readout

A live readout, an honest go/no-go, and every artefact handed over. Yours to keep, either way.

Day 5
The difference

Advice you can act on,
from someone with no axe to grind.

Most AI strategy is either too abstract to use or quietly steered toward what the advisor sells. Ours is neither, for four reasons. Start with what governed AI means if it's new to you.

Independent
No platform, seats or licence to sell. The recommendation is the one that is right for you, not the one that pays us more.
Practical
Everything is scoped, costed and ordered. Your team can start on the first item the day the Sprint ends.
Regulated-ready
Built for FinTech and HealthTech, where governance is not optional. The plan includes the controls an auditor will ask for.
Owned by you
Every artefact is yours to keep. If you never work with us again, you still walk away with a plan you can use.

AI strategy advice,
the honest comparison.

There are five ways to get an AI strategy. Here is where each one actually lands, without the spin.

What it settles

The questions the Sprint
answers for you.

By day five you have a clear, costed answer to the six questions that actually decide whether AI is worth it for your team.

Q.Which use case first?
Ranked by ROI and feasibility, so you back the one most likely to pay off, not the loudest idea in the room.
Q.Build or buy?
An honest call for each use case: build it, buy an off-the-shelf tool, or don't do it at all.
Q.What will it cost?
Real numbers per step, mapped to the 21-day pilot model, so the budget conversation is grounded, not a guess.
Q.Is it compliant?
The governance and audit controls a regulated FinTech or HealthTech deployment needs, mapped up front.
Q.What's the ROI?
A grounded estimate of the value each use case unlocks, so you can defend the spend to the board.
Q.Do we even need AI?
Sometimes the honest answer is not yet. If so, we say so and tell you what to fix first. No sale required.
Why the plan matters

The expensive mistake
is building the wrong thing.

The cost that hurts is not the strategy fee. It is the six-figure build of a use case that never should have been first. McKinsey's State of AI 2025 found that while 88% of organisations regularly use AI in at least one function, only 23% are actively scaling an agentic system. A clear, costed plan is what closes that gap, before you spend on the build.

Honest fit

Who the Sprint is for,
and who it isn't.

Built first for FinTech and HealthTech teams weighing an AI investment and wanting a plan before they spend, not a six-month program.

A good fit if you

  • Are weighing AI and want a costed plan before you commit budget
  • Have been burned by a consultancy deck you couldn't act on
  • Need governance and audit built into the plan, not added later
  • Want an independent call, from someone with nothing to upsell

Not for you if you

  • Want a six-month transformation program and a standing retainer
  • Need us to rubber-stamp a decision you have already made
  • Are shopping purely on the lowest hourly rate
  • Want a research report to file, not a plan to act on
The number they hide

One fixed price,
credited to the build.

The cost that hurts isn't the fee. It's the six-figure build of the wrong use case. $3,500 buys the plan that stops that, priced against the $25–75K big firms bill for a strategy deck, and it comes back to you if you proceed.

Straight answers

AI consulting,
your questions.

What does AI consulting cost?
Our AI Strategy Sprint is a fixed $3,500 for one week of work, and the fee credits in full toward a pilot if you proceed. We publish that openly. Big firms bill $25,000 to $75,000 for a strategy engagement, and hourly consultants run $150 to $900 an hour, usually without naming a number up front.
How is this different from a Big-4 or McKinsey engagement?
No six-month discovery and no slide deck. In one week you get a prioritised use-case shortlist, an honest build-vs-buy call, a governance plan and a costed roadmap you own and can act on immediately. It is practical, fixed-scope and a fraction of the price.
What do I actually get from the Strategy Sprint?
Four things you keep: a shortlist of AI use cases ranked by ROI and feasibility, a build-vs-buy recommendation for each, a governance and risk plan built for regulated teams, and a costed roadmap that says what to do first, in what order, and what it costs.
Will you ever tell me not to build?
Yes. The Sprint ends in an honest go or no-go. We have no platform or licence to sell you, so if AI is not the right answer yet, we will say so and tell you what to fix first. That independence is the point.
Does the fee credit toward a pilot?
In full. If you move ahead with a 21-day pilot, the $3,500 Sprint fee is credited against it, so the strategy work costs you nothing extra.
What if I already know the use case I want?
We pressure-test it: size the value, check feasibility and governance, and cost the build, or tell you honestly if it will not work as scoped. You leave with a plan you can trust instead of an assumption. If you are ready to build, see AI development.
