AI consulting for Boston businesses.
We'd rather run your assessment on-site. Being a consultant means feeling the business — walking the office, sitting with the people doing the work, talking to owners and stakeholders, and yes, hearing a little of the gossip. That's where the real findings are, and being local is what makes it possible.
Four things, in this order.
No packages, no tiers, no menu. Every engagement runs the same sequence, because the later steps only make sense once the earlier ones are done.
Assessment
An on-site review of how work actually moves through your company — leads, follow-up, operations, data, and risk. Done in your building, with your people.
Roadmap
A written findings report: every opportunity ranked by payback, what should be automated, what shouldn't, and in what order. Yours to keep either way.
Implementation
We build what the roadmap called for — configured, integrated, tested, launched, and on the stack you already own wherever possible.
ROI in 12 weeks
Live inside 30 days, measurable return by week twelve. Not a pilot, not a proof of concept, and not next year.
You can't always assess a business over a video call.
Most AI consultants will never set foot in your building. They'll take one call, read your website, and send you a roadmap built on assumptions.
To assess a business properly you have to be in it. Walk the office. Stand behind the front desk during a busy hour and watch how calls actually get handled — not how the process document says they get handled. Sit with the person who has been doing the intake for eleven years and has a workaround for everything.
You talk to the owners and the shareholders about where they actually want this company to go, which is often different from what's written down. You talk to the people doing the work, because they know exactly what's broken and nobody has asked them. And honestly, you listen to a bit of the gossip — who avoids which system, which report nobody trusts, what everybody knows is a problem but no one has said out loud in a meeting.
That's what makes a good assessment. Not a questionnaire. Getting to know the business well enough to see what's really costing it money.
Being inside driving distance is what allows us to work that way. It's the reason we're deliberately concentrating on Boston rather than selling assessments into forty states from behind a webcam.
After launch, most of the ongoing work happens remotely — that's faster for everyone. But the assessment is where the value gets decided, and that one we'd like to do in person.
What AI consulting actually looks like here.
Four ways this work typically shows up, depending on where a company is when we meet them.
AI Readiness Assessment
Where AI fits your business today — and where it doesn't. An honest read across process, data, team capability, and risk, with every opportunity ranked by payback.
Adoption roadmap
A sequenced plan rather than a wish list. Quick wins first, compounding systems second, and anything speculative clearly labeled as such.
System design & tool selection
Which platforms, which models, hosted or not — decided against your constraints and the stack you already pay for, not against whatever pays a commission.
Implementation & oversight
We build it, or we lead your team through building it. Either way somebody senior is accountable for whether it ships and whether it works.
AI governance & policy
Your team is already using AI. Acceptable-use policy, approved tools, data handling, and oversight — written before something ends up somewhere it shouldn't.
Fractional Chief AI Officer
Ongoing senior AI leadership for companies scaling adoption across departments, without adding another full-time executive.
Established Boston companies losing money in the gaps.
Not startups. Operators with real customers, real payroll, and processes that have outgrown the way they were built.
Construction & the trades
Busy season arrives all at once. Every call that goes to voicemail while a crew is on a roof is a job that lands on a competitor's schedule.
Professional & financial services
This city runs on professional services. Prospective clients call three firms and hire whoever answers first — intake that leaks is billable work walking out the door.
Healthcare, dental & wellness
The front desk cannot answer the phone and the patient standing in front of them. One of them always waits, and one of them stops coming back.
Real estate & property management
Leasing inquiries and maintenance calls don't respect office hours, and neither do leads that go cold in the ninety minutes before someone returns the call.
Home services
Emergencies don't leave voicemails. They dial the next number on the list. Speed of answer is the entire sale.
Multi-location & founder-led
Growth that only works by adding staff eventually stops working. The constraint is usually process and visibility, not people.
Five phases. It starts with the assessment.
AI Strategy Call
Thirty minutes. Your challenges, honestly assessed. Free.
AI Readiness Assessment
On-site. How work actually moves, where money leaks, everything ranked by payback.
Findings Report
A prioritized roadmap you keep, whether or not we build it.
Implementation
Configured, integrated, tested, launched — on the stack you already own where possible.
Monthly Optimization
Monitored, tuned, and expanded as the business grows.
AI consulting in Boston — asked, answered.
Do you really come on-site, or is that just marketing?
We really do, and we prefer it. For an assessment, being in the building is the difference between a real finding and a guess — watching how calls get handled during a busy hour tells us more than an hour of interviews ever will. Ongoing work after launch is usually remote, because that's faster for everyone.
What does an AI Readiness Assessment cost?
It depends on the size and complexity of the business, which is why we scope it on the call instead of publishing a number that would be wrong for most companies. What we can tell you: you leave with a written roadmap you own, whether or not you hire us to build any of it.
What do the timelines actually mean?
The assessment runs one to two weeks depending on the size of the business. Implementation goes live inside 30 days of approving the roadmap. Measurable return — calls answered, leads worked, hours returned — by roughly week twelve. What gets built first is deliberately chosen for payback speed, which is why the roadmap is sequenced rather than alphabetical.
We're a small company. Are we too small for this?
We work with established companies that have real customers, employees, and operational complexity. Rather than screen you on a revenue number, we'd rather show you the workforce and let you see whether it maps to how your business actually runs.
How is this different from the AI agencies advertising on LinkedIn?
More than 30 years of enterprise consulting at IBM, Kyndryl, Infosys and The Boston Consulting Group, versus a few months of tool tutorials. And we both advise and build, which means we can't hand you a recommendation we never had to implement ourselves.
What if AI isn't the answer to our problem?
Then we say that. Plenty of what looks like an AI problem is a process, staffing, or visibility problem — and automating a broken process only makes it break faster. You'll hear that on the first call, before there's an invoice.
