AI Consulting Services

Our AI-native services take a workflow from readiness assessment to production: the first measurable result in 2–3 weeks, production deployment in 90 days and a 40%+ efficiency target, on a fixed fee.

Every AIDOLS service is delivered under the AI-native consulting model: engineers on every call and a fixed fee agreed before work starts; every Build ships production code under a written refund guarantee.

AI Consulting FAQ

Answers to common questions about AI consulting services

How much does AI consulting cost?

It depends on scope and on how the work is billed. Market hourly rates run from $150–$350/hr for an independent consultant to $400–$800/hr at the Big Four and $500–$1,000+/hr at MBB firms. AIDOLS charges fixed fees instead of hours: a Sprint is $15K–$25K (2–3 weeks), a Build is $75K–$150K (90 days), and Scale is $25K/month.

How long does an AI consulting engagement take?

At AIDOLS, a production system is deployed within 90 days, with a 40%+ efficiency target, measured at day 90. The first measurable result comes earlier, in 2–3 weeks. A full 100% ROI (a 2× return) typically takes 6–12 months. By AIDOLS estimates, traditional consulting programs often run 9–18 months before anything reaches production.

Do AI consulting firms guarantee results?

Most do not, and the risk is real: By some estimates, more than 80% of AI projects fail, twice the failure rate of IT projects that do not involve AI. AIDOLS puts the Build fee at risk instead. If the deployed system does not generate ROI exceeding its fee within 90 days, the fee is refunded in full. Scale tier: prorated refund. Sprint tier excluded (assessment, not deployment).

What is the difference between AI consulting and traditional IT consulting?

Traditional IT consulting focuses on deploying existing software and infrastructure, while AI consulting involves building intelligent systems that learn from data, automate decisions, and improve over time. AI consulting requires specialized expertise in machine learning, data science, and domain-specific model development that general IT firms typically lack.

What industries benefit most from AI consulting?

Any operation that runs on data and repeatable workflows: manufacturing, logistics, financial services, healthcare and professional services among them. The deciding factor is the workflow, not the industry. Many bottlenecks need software or a process change before AI, so every AIDOLS engagement starts with a written verdict on what each one needs.
