AI consulting: strategy and roadmap

We interview process owners, model the economics of each scenario, and hand over a roadmap. It shows what to implement first, which data is available, and the budget for the first stage.

We pick three scenarios with a return and assemble a six-month implementation plan.

Pricing

from ₽300,000

per project

This is the lower bound of a project. We scope the exact quote after a brief: it depends on volume and the number of integrations.

What's included

Capabilities

Process map

We collect 12–15 processes from sales, operations, and support into one map. Each process gets an owner, frequency, volume, and the systems involved.

Scenario shortlist

We score scenarios by impact, data complexity, and time to launch. The shortlist holds three scenarios that produce a measurable result in the first six months.

Economics

We calculate the baseline process cost in hours and money, the automation effect, and payback. Each scenario gets a range with its assumptions.

Roadmap

We split implementation into stages with dependencies, team, and budget. The plan accounts for data availability and the order of integrations.

How we work

From request to result

  1. 1

    Interviews

    We talk to process owners and department heads. We record current steps, bottlenecks, and the metrics that define the effect.

  2. 2

    Data and systems

    We review which data exists for each process and which systems hold it. We mark sources, access, and gaps that affect the scenario choice.

  3. 3

    Scoring

    We put impact, cost, data, and risk into one table. We rank the scenarios and test the assumptions with the team.

  4. 4

    Plan review

    We present the roadmap to the sponsor and budget owners. We fix the first stage, the metrics, and the team.

Who it fits

Check if it fits you

Good fit

  • A sponsor exists

    The initiative has a C-level leader or business owner who decides on budget and priorities.

  • 12+ processes

    The company has described its core processes or is ready to do so. On that base the map and scoring take 3–4 weeks.

Not a fit

  • A working pilot first

    When the task is to launch a model within a month, we start with a readiness audit and a pilot, and build the strategy alongside.

  • No access to owners

    Interviews with process owners provide half of the input. Without them the map stays at the level of hypotheses.

Track record

What you get

12

12 processes

The base map covers 12 processes from sales, operations, and support. Each one shows an owner, volume, and systems.

3

3 scenarios

The shortlist holds three scenarios with impact and cost estimates. The sponsor picks the first by numbers, effect, and risk.

6 mo

6 months

The roadmap covers the first stage over six months. The plan includes the team, budget, dependencies, and control metrics.

Scope of work

What the delivery includes

Process map

The map lists processes, owners, systems, and metrics. It shows where the work happens and which data a scenario needs.

Business case

The business case shows impact, cost, and payback for three scenarios. Assumptions and ranges sit next to the numbers.

Roadmap

The roadmap splits the first stage into six months with a team, budget, and dependencies. Every step has a result and a metric.

How it works

How the system is built

  1. Interviews

    We interview process owners and record steps, volumes, and metrics in one map. The map shows where work takes the most time and which systems participate in each step.

  2. Scoring

    Scoring puts impact, cost, data readiness, and risk into one table. The ranking shows three scenarios with the best impact-to-complexity ratio, and a workshop tests the assumptions.

  3. Roadmap

    The roadmap turns the chosen scenarios into stages with dependencies, team, and budget. The first stage runs six months, and every step has a metric the sponsor uses to decide.

Limitations and cost

Where the solution pushes back

  • 01

    The sponsor decides

    Scoring gives priorities and numbers, and the scenario choice stays with the sponsor. We show the price and risk of each option so the decision rests on facts.

  • 02

    Source data quality

    Scenario economics rests on process data. With incomplete exports we calculate from interviews and record the assumptions in the plan.

  • 03

    Strategy and pilot

    Strategy ends with a plan and a sponsor review. We price the pilot, integrations, and support as a separate project with its own estimate.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does consulting cost?

The base program starts at RUB 300,000 and covers interviews, the process map, scoring, and the roadmap. The number of systems and workshops affects the timeline and the final estimate.

How long does it take?

Three to four weeks for 12 processes and three workshops. The timeline grows by a week at 30+ processes or several legal entities.

What do we get?

A process map, a scenario table with impact and cost, a six-month roadmap, and a presentation for the sponsor.

Do you implement after consulting?

Yes, we run the pilot and implementation as a separate project. The decision stays with you: the plan can go to an internal team or another contractor.
