Common questions
What is an embedded AI advisor?
An embedded AI advisor is a senior AI consultant on a monthly retainer who reviews roadmap progress, supports escalations, and re-prioritises quarterly as the team executes. It is sold as a follow-on to an AI Process Audit, not as a standalone engagement.
Can we start here without a Process Audit?
No. The Embedded Advisor follows an AI Process Audit because there must be a roadmap to advise against. Starting here without a roadmap would mean advising in a vacuum.
Do you manage our vendors?
We advise and support escalations. Your team or chosen vendors do the execution. We are not a project manager; we are an independent advisor.
How much time is included each month?
A capped number of advisory hours, agreed at the start of the engagement. The cap ensures predictable cost and keeps the relationship advisory rather than operational.
Have a roadmap and need a senior advisor to see it through?
The Embedded Advisor follows an AI Process Audit. If you have completed one, tell us where you are in execution.
