Most AI consulting ends with a deck. Ours ends with a system your own people run. Plain language the whole way.
Book a 15-Min Chat →A good AI consulting firm answers three questions, then proves the answers. Which workflow should get AI first? What will it cost to run?
How will you know it is working? Then it builds the first one.
The market has two kinds of shops. Firms that only advise, and shops that only build. Advice with no build gets you a plan and no system.
A build with no thinking gets you a tool nobody asked for.
We do both. In that order. With one team.
Our AI implementation services page covers the build. This page covers the consulting side: the roadmap, the choices, and how to pick a firm without getting sold a deck.
Our AI strategy consulting is short on purpose. Two weeks with your team. One page out:
Then we build against it. A roadmap with no build inside 30 days is a strategy deck. We do not sell those.
The thinking is in Operations Disguised as AI Problems and the AI maturity model we use to place you.
Prove a workflow pays before you staff it. Transfer it to a named owner before you scale it. Scale only what your own team can run.
| Large consulting firm | Anar Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Enterprises with procurement cycles and an IT department | Owner-run companies with 10 to 500 people |
| What you get | A strategy engagement, then a second firm to build it | The roadmap and the working systems from one team |
| Timeline | Months of discovery before anything runs | A working, measured system inside the first month |
| Ownership | Often tied to their platform or their people | Your accounts, your data, your team trained to run it |
| Pricing | Quoted per project, often six figures | $2,000 to $15,000 per month, billed monthly |
Want AI doing real work this quarter? We fit. Need a research report or a procurement process?
We don't, and we will say so on the first call.
Engagements run between $2,000 and $15,000 per month. Billed monthly, never by the hour.
The first phase is 60 to 120 days. You see a working, measured system inside the first month, not at the end.
What moves the price is spelled out on our AI implementation services page.
Hourly AI consultants exist. For a second opinion or an audit, fine. For a build, hours pile up and nobody owns the result.
So we price by the month, with a named deliverable, and the clock is our problem.
Ask every firm on your list these seven questions. Ask us too. The answers sort the builders from the deck makers in about five minutes.
The long version, with the math on hiring in-house instead, is in AI Consultant vs In-House Team: The Real Math.
Owner-run companies where a missed call, a slow follow-up, or a pile of paperwork costs real money:
An AI consulting firm helps a business decide where to use AI, then plans and often builds the systems. The useful ones measure results against a before number and hand the system to your team. The less useful ones hand you a strategy document.
It is worth it when the engagement ends with a working system that saves measurable hours or catches measurable leads, and when your own team can run it afterward. It is not worth it when it ends with a report. Ask any firm what will be working 30 days in.
Strategy decides what to build and in what order. Implementation builds it. Most companies under 500 people need two weeks of strategy and then months of implementation, not the other way around. We do both in one engagement.
Our engagements run $2,000 to $15,000 per month depending on how many workflows we build, how messy the data is, and how many systems the AI must connect to. Hourly consultants and large firms price differently; ask for a monthly all-in number.
No. We are based in Phoenix, Arizona and work with companies across the United States. Everything we build runs online, and training and handover happen over video calls.
Yes. We build on the major model providers and keep your systems model-agnostic, so you can switch vendors as prices and capabilities change.
You do. The accounts, the data, the documentation, and the trained owner on your team are all yours when the engagement ends. Ownership is in the contract, not a promise.
A tool gives you a blank box. A consulting firm that builds gives you the tool connected to your data, wrapped in rules about what it can touch and spend, checked for quality, and handed to a trained person on your team.
15 minutes. You leave knowing what we would build, what it costs to run, and how you would know it works. No pitch deck.
