AI Scoping & Advisory
You have an AI idea but aren't sure if it makes sense. I help you figure out what's worth building, what's not, and what the realistic path looks like.
The AI Hype Problem
Everyone's selling AI solutions. Vendors promise the world. Internal teams want to build shiny things. But most AI projects fail or deliver far less than promised.
The problem isn't usually the technology. It's that people build AI for problems that don't need AI, or they build the wrong AI solution for the right problem.
I help you cut through the hype and figure out what actually makes sense for your situation.
Common Scenarios
- • "We should use AI for this" but no one knows how
- • Vendor pitched you an AI solution and you need a second opinion
- • Previous AI project failed and you're not sure why
- • Team wants to build something but you're not convinced
- • You see competitors using AI and feel behind
What You Get
Clarity, not confusion. A clear answer on whether to proceed and a realistic plan if you do.
Feasibility Assessment
Can this actually be built? What are the technical constraints? What's realistic vs. fantasy?
- Technical viability analysis
- Data requirements review
- Honest assessment of limitations
Build vs. Buy Analysis
Should you build custom, use a vendor, or combine both? What are the tradeoffs?
- Vendor evaluation
- Custom build scoping
- Cost comparison
Implementation Roadmap
If you proceed, what's the path? Realistic timelines, resource requirements, key milestones.
- Phased implementation plan
- Resource requirements
- Risk identification
Sometimes the Answer is No
The most valuable thing I can tell you might be "don't build this." That's not a failed engagement. That's saving you months of wasted effort and significant money.
"AI isn't always the answer. Sometimes a well-designed form, a simple rule-based system, or even just better training for your team is the right solution. I'll tell you when that's the case."
