AI adoption at Series A is 68% and climbing. Only 30% of AI experiments get scaled. The difference is strategy — use case prioritization, vendor selection, ROI modeling, governance. Big-4 consultants quote $150K-$500K for this. We deliver it in 30 days at a flat fee. Free AI opportunity audit.
Series A and B companies in Charlotte are under board pressure to show an AI strategy — but most lack the internal expertise to build one. Big-4 consultants charge $150K–$500K for this. We deliver a 30-day AI roadmap covering use case prioritization, vendor selection, ROI modeling, and governance, at a flat fee built for Charlotte's growth-stage market.
You're running a Series A or Series B company. AI is no longer optional — your board expects a plan, your competitors are shipping AI features, and your team is using ChatGPT daily with inconsistent results. But you're stuck. Deloitte's 2026 State of AI report shows only 34% of companies are truly reimagining the business with AI — the rest are running pilots that never scale. 95% of enterprises aren't getting meaningful ROI from AI investments (MIT, 2025). The reason isn't model access — it's strategy. You need a prioritized roadmap that ties AI investments to specific business outcomes, a governance framework that lets you deploy safely, and a vendor selection process that avoids the $100K wasted-pilot trap. McKinsey, Deloitte, and Accenture will sell you all three for $150K-$500K and 6 months. You don't have either.
Too many AI use cases, no prioritization
Every department wants AI. Marketing wants copywriting tools. Sales wants lead scoring. Product wants AI features. Operations wants automation. Without prioritization, you scatter budget across 15 pilots and none reach production. Only 30% of AI pilots scale, per Deloitte.
Big-4 consulting prices you out
Deloitte, McKinsey, Accenture, and PwC quote $150K-$500K for AI strategy engagements aimed at Fortune 500. A $10M-$50M ARR growth-stage company can't absorb those rates but faces the same strategic decisions — and worse, a tighter runway.
Governance gaps kill deployments
Grant Thornton's 2026 AI Impact Survey: only 7% of organizations piloting AI are very confident they could pass a governance audit. Organizations with stronger governance adopt AI faster — yet most Series A/B companies have none. You can't scale what you can't defend.
Only 34% of organizations are truly reimagining the business with AI. The rest are running pilots that never scale.
— Deloitte, 2026 State of AI in the EnterpriseA 30-day AI strategy sprint that audits your current AI usage, maps 15-25 potential use cases across functions, prioritizes based on ROI and feasibility, builds your vendor selection framework, drafts your governance policy, and delivers an investor-ready AI operating plan. Flat fee. Written deliverables. Owned by you after handoff.
Get StartedAI use case audit across all functions
We interview your leadership across product, engineering, marketing, sales, ops, CS — map every potential AI use case, then score each on ROI potential, implementation effort, and data readiness. Output: prioritized matrix of 15-25 use cases.
Top-3 use case deep dive with ROI model
For your three highest-priority use cases: detailed implementation plan, vendor recommendations (build vs buy vs fine-tune), unit economics model, 90-day pilot structure, success metrics. Ready to execute.
AI governance framework
Risk classification, human-in-the-loop protocols, audit logging requirements, vendor due diligence checklist, employee AI usage policy. Built for your specific compliance profile (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR if applicable).
Vendor selection + build-vs-buy framework
For each priority use case: which vendors to evaluate, which to skip, when to build custom vs use off-the-shelf. Avoid the 12-month wasted-pilot trap. Covers OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock, plus vertical specialists.
Investor-ready AI operating plan
18-month AI roadmap with milestones, budget, hiring needs, risk mitigation. Written in the format VCs actually read — ready for your next board deck or Series B pitch.
We review your current AI usage, stack, business goals, and any existing pilots. Within 5 business days you get a written preliminary assessment: whether a 30-day strategy sprint fits your scope, what the highest-value use cases likely are, and honest assessment of whether you're ready (some companies aren't).
30-min interviews with 6-10 team members across leadership and function heads. We map pain points, existing AI usage, data quality, and strategic priorities — the signal that shapes use case prioritization.
Written analysis: 15-25 mapped use cases scored on ROI, effort, data readiness. Top 3 get detailed implementation plans. We're brutal — if a use case doesn't have clear ROI, it gets cut.
AI governance policy drafted for your compliance profile. Vendor selection framework for your top-3 use cases. Build-vs-buy recommendation per use case.
18-month AI operating plan. Final read-out with leadership. Documentation handoff. Optional quarterly check-ins through Ongoing Advisory tier.
