Artificial Intelligence Consulting Services that end in a decision, not a deck.

You get a decision, not just a document. A typical engagement produces an AI readiness assessment, a use-case roadmap ranked by value and feasibility, a data and infrastructure strategy, a governance plan, and a return-on-investment projection for your top opportunity. It is scoped to the questions you need answered, so a team deciding whether to start gets something different from a team scaling a proof of concept.

We scope it with you first and quote after, because one published figure would be wrong for nearly everyone who asks. Three things move it: how many business areas are in scope, how reachable your data and systems already are, and whether you want one decision settled or a roadmap sequenced across several teams. The AI readiness assessment is deliberately fixed-fee, agreed before kickoff, so the estimate for the build that follows rests on something real.

Scope sets the timeline. The fixed-scope AI readiness assessment runs two weeks from kickoff to readout. A roadmap across multiple business areas takes longer, and in our delivery experience the constraint is how fast we get access to the people who own the data, not analysis time. We size it with you up front.

That question is most of the assessment. We look at where your data lives, whether the systems around it expose APIs, and which parts of the stack an AI feature can safely touch, then tell you what to keep, rebuild, or remove. Legacy is not a blocker on its own: we took over a part-built accounting platform on ASP.NET MVC, MySQL, and C# and proposed how natural-language processing could categorise its transaction descriptions, in the financial advisory case study. Some estates carry AI without being replaced; others need modernization first, and knowing which one you are looking at before you start is worth months.

Consulting decides what to build, whether it is worth building, and in what order, and it ends in a roadmap your team can act on. Building the AI is the delivery that follows. Doing both with unicrew means the advice comes from a team that ships, so the roadmap is buildable and there is no handoff to a second vendor. If you want ongoing leadership rather than a scoped project, that is our fractional Chief AI Officer.

On two axes: the business value it would create and how feasible it is given your data, stack, and constraints. High-value, high-feasibility use cases go first, so you see a return before committing to the harder work. We pay particular attention to the regulated, data-heavy sectors we work in, fintech, healthcare, logistics and energy, where compliance and data quality decide what is realistic.

Governance is part of the engagement, not an afterthought. We map the regulatory constraints that apply to you, GDPR, HIPAA, or sector-specific rules, and set data-protection, access, and AI-usage policies before anything is built. unicrew is ISO 27001:2022 certified, and we build the guardrails, review points, and audit trails that let you adopt AI without taking on risk you cannot see. We do not hold SOC 2, so say so early if you need it.

Yes, and the build is quoted separately, once the roadmap says what is worth building. Delivery then runs with the same people who wrote the roadmap, which is our land-and-grow model: start with a scoped piece of work, then grow the engagement as results come in. You are never obligated to build with us, and the roadmap stands on its own if you take it elsewhere.

Category labels separate nobody here, because the other proposal on your desk is probably also from a firm that builds. Three questions get you underneath the label, and put all three to us as well. First, will they hand you the review link rather than the score? Every quotation above opens the client's own Clutch interview, so you can read what we chose not to excerpt. Second, ask in writing what an assessment is allowed to conclude; the answer below names four situations where we are the wrong choice. Third, ask what a firm does not hold as well as what it does: we hold ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, audited by Quay Audit UK, and we do not hold SOC 2.

Four situations, and we would rather lose the lead now than deliver a roadmap nobody can act on. When procurement requires SOC 2: we hold ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, and we will not say otherwise to get through a vendor form. When you need a vendor-neutral audit with no delivery arm, because we build software and our advice is not conflict-free by construction; hire an advisory-only firm and use us for the build afterwards. When you want the roadmap to confirm a decision already made, because if the data is not reachable or nobody owns the output we will say so, and that answer is the deliverable. And when you want a fixed price before anyone has seen your data. Two alternatives are also worth weighing: your own data or machine-learning lead can run the assessment given the time and the mandate, though internal assessments tend to ratify the use case someone already wants; and if you are committed to one platform, that vendor's own assessment is cheaper, provided you expect a recommendation bounded by what they sell.
