AI consulting services: strategy, use cases and proofs of concept

AI consulting services for companies deciding where AI pays back: an assessment of your processes and data, use cases ranked by value and effort, advice on whether to build or buy and on models and vendors, proofs of concept on your own data in a few weeks, estimates of running costs and risks, and a roadmap your team can carry out, from senior engineers who build AI systems as well as advise on them.

Consulting work we take on

  • AI opportunity assessment

    Interviews with the teams that would use AI, a review of the processes and data involved, and a written list of use cases ranked by value, effort and risk.

  • Proof of concept

    The most promising use case built on your own data in two to six weeks and measured against an evaluation set agreed up front, so the decision to invest rests on numbers.

  • Build or buy

    Off-the-shelf tools, features already in your platforms, such as Copilot or help-desk AI, and custom builds compared for each use case on capability, cost, data handling and lock-in.

  • Model and architecture

    Hosted models, open-weight models and fine-tuning compared on your own evaluation set, with an architecture that keeps the model replaceable.

  • Data readiness

    Where the data for each use case lives, how clean and complete it is, who owns it, and what has to change before a model can use it.

  • Running cost estimates

    Costs per request, per user and per month estimated from your volumes, with the levers that bring them down.

  • Security, privacy and compliance review

    Data flows mapped, provider terms checked, GDPR questions answered, and a first view of where each use case sits under the EU AI Act for your legal team to confirm.

  • AI policy and training

    A usage policy for staff, guidance on approved tools and data, and hands-on training for the teams that will use or build AI.

  • Roadmap and team plan

    A sequenced plan with milestones, the roles needed to deliver it, and the option of our engineers carrying it out beside your own.

Hire AI consultants

  • Dedicated AI consultants

    AI consultants who join your team full time, work in your tools and process, and report to your lead. You interview them; we carry the Ukrainian contract, payroll, invoicing and leave.

  • AI consulting projects

    A defined piece of AI consulting with a scope, a fixed plan and a named lead on our side who owns the result and reports progress in your channels.

  • Ongoing AI consulting

    AI consulting as a continuing service: the same people every month, a backlog you prioritise, and hours you can see in our portal and on the invoice.

The dedicated team page explains how specialists join your team, and the outsourcing page covers project delivery, take-overs and how we charge.

Advice from the people who build it

Our consultants are the engineers who would build what they recommend, so estimates come from systems they have shipped, and a proof of concept can start the week the assessment ends.

Every recommendation comes with what it costs to run, what data it needs and how its quality will be measured, so the roadmap can be checked against results while it is delivered.

AI development overview

Questions about AI consulting

Where should we start with AI?

With one process that costs real time or money and has the data to support it. The assessment ranks your candidates, and a proof of concept on the top one shows within weeks whether it delivers, before a larger investment.

How long does an assessment take?

Typically two to four weeks for a mid-sized company, depending on how many teams and systems are involved. A proof of concept on the chosen use case takes another two to six weeks.

Can you train our team rather than build for us?

Yes. We run hands-on sessions on using AI tools safely and on building with language models, and can pair our engineers with yours on the first project so the skills stay with you.

How quickly can AI consultants start?

When the right AI consultant is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.

How do we hire AI consultants through BigTree108?

Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.

Who owns the work they produce?

You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.

Deciding where AI fits?

Tell us your business, the processes that cost the most time and the data you hold. You get an answer within one business day: a proposal for an assessment, or a first view on where to start.
