STRATEGIC AI CONSULTING

The Roadmap Before the Build

A custom technical roadmap built by someone who's taken four AI products to production. The planning that separates projects that ship from projects that stall.

Why Most AI Projects Stall

67%
Never make it to production
McKinsey, 2023
$37B
Wasted on failed AI initiatives
Gartner, 2023
90 days
Most failures happen in first 90 days
Due to poor planning

Without a Technical Roadmap, You're Flying Blind

  • Projects that should take 3 months stretch to 18 months
  • Budgets that should be $200K become $2M
  • Teams build solutions that can't scale or integrate
  • Security vulnerabilities discovered after launch
  • Compliance issues that halt deployment

A clear roadmap before the first line of code changes everything.

Every Roadmap Is Custom

Built for your specific context β€” because the details are where AI projects succeed or fail:

  • β†’Your regulatory landscape β€” government, finance, healthcare, or startup
  • β†’Your existing infrastructure β€” what you have, what you need, what to skip
  • β†’Your actual team β€” realistic planning for the people you have
  • β†’Your constraints β€” budget, timeline, compliance, and politics
  • β†’Your market position β€” what needs to ship first and why

The specificity is the value.
