AI Strategy Consulting
We turn AI ambition into a 90-day roadmap and a working pilot — not a slide deck. Outcome-anchored AI consulting services for founders, COOs, and engineering leaders.
Free. No obligation. Live quote on the call.
How we engage
Two-day intensive: we map every workflow in the business, score them by AI feasibility + ROI, and ship you a prioritized 90-day roadmap with effort estimates.
Bringing in a vendor or building it in-house? We audit the SaaS options, the build-cost reality, and the lock-in risk — then give you a written verdict you can defend to the board.
Hybrid engagement: we run the strategy workshop AND ship the first pilot in 14 days. You get the plan AND the proof, not just one or the other.
Live workshops for your engineering or ops teams on n8n, AI agents, RAG patterns, and prompt engineering. Hands-on, not slide-driven.
Already using OpenAI, Claude, or a vendor? We audit cost, prompt quality, eval coverage, and architecture — and ship a written list of what to fix and in what order.
Monthly fractional AI strategy: roadmap reviews, vendor evaluations, team coaching. For founders or COOs who want a senior AI partner without a full hire.
Pricing
Big-4 firms quote $200K+ for an AI strategy. Generalist consultants bill hourly until you stop them. We price by deliverable: written roadmap, audit verdict, or shipped pilot — fixed scope, fixed fee.
AI roadmap workshop
10–14 days2-day workshop, prioritized 90-day roadmap, build vs buy verdicts, vendor shortlist, exec summary.
Build vs buy audits from $3K. Pilot scoping + delivery from $12K. Monthly strategy retainer from $4K/month. All fixed-fee, all deliverable-based.
What makes us different
Every consulting engagement can roll into a build. We're the same team that ships the pilot, so the strategy isn't theoretical — it's tied to what we know we can deliver.
Workshops are fixed-fee. Roadmaps are deliverable-based. Retainers have clear monthly outputs. No timesheets, no slow drift, no padded hours.
You talk directly to a senior engineer who has built 50+ AI projects, not a junior account manager passing notes to a delivery team you'll never meet.
Plenty of workflows don't need an LLM. We'll tell you which ones, save you the budget, and point at the boring automation that solves the same problem better.
How we compare
When you need an AI plan you can actually execute, you have three real choices. Here's the honest comparison.
| Decision factor | TaskifyLabs | Big-4 (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte) | Generalist AI consultant | DIY (research + Twitter) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time to actionable plan | 10–14 days | 3–6 months | Variable, often slow | Months — opportunity cost |
| Engagement cost | $5K–$25K fixed | $200K–$1M+ | $15K–$60K | Free (but expensive in time) |
| Builds the pilot too | Yes — same team | No — implementation outsourced | Maybe | DIY |
| Senior practitioner depth | Senior engineer, 50+ AI projects | Often junior associates | Variable | Self-taught |
| Outcome-anchored | Fixed deliverables | Hourly + scope creep risk | Hourly typical | — |
| Honest 'don't use AI' answers | Yes — we'll tell you | Conflict of interest | Conflict of interest | — |

How the engagement flows
30-minute call. We learn the business, the team, the existing AI use (if any), and the question you actually need answered. Quote a fixed scope on the call.
Two-day intensive workshop with the relevant stakeholders, plus async work mapping systems, scoring opportunities, and stress-testing assumptions.
Written deliverable: prioritized roadmap, effort estimates, build vs buy verdicts, vendor shortlist, and a one-page exec summary you can take to the board.
If you want to roll into a build, we kick off the first pilot the day the roadmap delivers — same team, no re-onboarding. Or take the roadmap and run it yourself.
Consulting engagements we've run
Names redacted under NDA. The examples below show typical engagement scope and outcome — yours will likely look similar.
Mapped 47 workflows, scored 12 AI-suitable opportunities, ranked by ROI, delivered a 90-day roadmap. Three months later, four pilots are live and one replaced a $90K/yr vendor.
Founder was about to sign a $40K/yr enterprise AI contract. Audit found 70% of the value could be replicated in-house in 3 weeks for $6K. Saved $34K/yr, kept ownership.
Two-day strategy workshop produced a roadmap, then we built the highest-priority pilot — an AI content briefing tool — within the same engagement. Strategy and proof in one pass.
