What's Included
Strategy Before You Spend on Engineering
A good AI consulting engagement rules out the ideas that will not move a real metric before anyone writes production code.
Use Case Discovery
Workshops with your stakeholders to translate business problems into AI use cases that are realistic to build and measure.
Data Readiness Assessment
Check what data actually exists against what each use case needs, before you commit budget to a build that cannot work.
ROI Sizing
Size the expected return of each idea, so ones that sound exciting but would not move a real metric get ruled out early.
Vendor & Build Decisions
Compare an off the shelf platform against a fully custom model, with an honest recommendation either way.
Governance & Risk
The governance and risk policy your company needs before putting AI into a real workflow, covering data privacy and model risk.
Prioritized Roadmap
A clear, sequenced roadmap your own team can execute, or that our development team builds next with no handoff gap.

An AI consultant audits your data and workflows, prioritizes which AI use cases are worth funding, assesses data readiness, and delivers a roadmap a development team can execute. Read our full guide to what AI consultants do.
Most AI consultants charge $125 to $300 an hour. Project based strategy and readiness audits typically run $10,000 to $100,000 depending on scope.
Hire an AI consultant when you are not yet sure which use case is worth funding. Hire a development company once the use case is validated and ready to be built.
Not exactly. A machine learning consultant is a technical specialist focused on building and tuning models. An AI consultant usually works at the strategy and governance level above that.
A focused strategy or readiness audit typically takes 2 to 8 weeks. Ongoing fractional advisory arrangements run monthly for as long as needed.
Yes. Unlike a pure strategy firm, Codioo can hand your roadmap straight to an engineering team and ship the product, with no handoff gap.
