Independent AI advisory

Your people are already using AI.

Half of those using AI for work rely solely on personal subscriptions or free access.

Ipsos for Epoch AI, “Half of Americans report using AI services, with information and productivity leading use cases,” April 13, 2026; 2,021 US adults.

Many are on personal accounts, with no guardrails and no plan. Any gains start and stop with the individual. We put the firm on the right platform, teach people to use it well, show you in real numbers what it returns, and help you decide what’s worth adopting as the tools change.

The aim is hours back for client work and faster turnaround, measured on your own workflows.

Twenty-five minutes. Tell us where the firm is spending its time, and we’ll tell you honestly what AI can and can’t do about it, including when the answer is “not much, yet.”

Most firms don’t have an AI team

Large firms have teams working out how to use AI. Most firms don’t, and hiring someone who knows it well is hard. Keeping them is harder.

The tools change fast, and most of the news doesn’t matter to your firm. The hard part is deciding what’s worth your people’s time and what to ignore. The goal isn’t the newest tool. It’s a setup your people actually use.

That’s the work we do. Senior people do it, start to finish. We resell nothing and take no commission or referral fee, so the advice is the only thing we sell.

How we work with firms

Start with the engagement. Continue with monthly advisory if you want us on hand. We build only where a platform can’t do the job.

Start here

AI Enablement for Knowledge Work

The right platform, people trained by role, and a first read on what it returns.

4–6 weeks. Fixed fee. No hourly billing.

Or start smaller with a one-week paid discovery.

Ongoing

Monthly advisory

Each month: what’s sticking, what’s noise and what’s worth piloting next. Flexible hours for calls or ad-hoc evaluations. Priced separately.

Scoped separately

Custom builds

When a platform can’t do the job, we scope a tool for it separately.

Client example

Professional services firm

Platform selection

The firm ran Microsoft 365, so Copilot looked like the obvious answer. For what it needed, Microsoft’s own tools meant more cost and complexity. We designed a custom setup in Notion that works with its Microsoft 365. It’s now live, handling routine project admin straight from firm email.

Before you buy AI seats for the firm

Six questions to settle first, with what to write down and a prompt to try for each. A quick way to gauge where AI could help your firm.

Start with a conversation

Twenty-five minutes on where your firm’s time goes, and an honest view of what AI can do about it.
