How long does an AI consulting engagement take?
Discovery Sprint: 2-3 weeks. Custom Build: 6-8 weeks to MVP. Strategic Advisory: ongoing quarterly. Most firms start with a Sprint to validate the opportunity, then build the highest-priority use case. Total time from first call to working AI: typically 8-12 weeks.
Compare that to 6-12 months for a Big 4 engagement that may or may not produce a working system. Or 6-12 months to hire and onboard an internal AI team before they build anything. That is the difference between having AI working for your next fundraise and not.
Every quarter you spend evaluating is a quarter your competitors spend deploying. We built our engagement model around that reality.
