Strategy / AI Strategy Consulting

AI is a tool. Strategy determines its value.

Most businesses know AI matters. Few know which version of it will actually help them. We've done that research: and we apply it to your specific situation.

AI Strategy Consulting

AI strategy consulting is the assessment of where artificial intelligence can produce measurable value in a specific business, and where it cannot, followed by a prioritized plan for adopting it. It covers the audit of operations and data, the ranking of opportunities by cost and expected return, and the definition of success metrics before implementation begins.

GrossiWeb is a web design and digital marketing agency founded in 2006 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, serving Raleigh, Los Angeles and businesses nationwide. Its AI strategy consulting service audits a company's operations for automation opportunities, ranks them by return on investment and delivers a phased implementation roadmap, and is quoted after a scoping call.

What this means for your business

AI strategy consulting is about identifying where artificial intelligence can deliver real, measurable value in your specific business: and where it can't. We map your operations, assess your data, and build a prioritized implementation roadmap that starts with the highest-ROI opportunities.

How it works

What you need to know before you start.

What does an AI strategy consultant do?

An AI strategy consultant reviews a business's operations and data, identifies the processes that AI could improve or automate, ranks them by implementation cost against expected return, and writes a phased plan with success metrics defined before anything is built. GrossiWeb delivers this as an AI opportunity audit, an ROI prioritization and an implementation roadmap. The audit also records the processes that are cheaper to fix without AI.

What is the 10/20-70 rule for AI?

The 10-20-70 rule is a widely repeated rule of thumb that roughly 10 percent of the effort in an AI initiative goes into algorithms and models, 20 percent into technology and data, and 70 percent into people, processes and change. GrossiWeb's roadmaps reflect that split: the technical build is the smaller part, and the plan spends most of its attention on who will use the system, how their work changes and how the result is measured.

How much does an AI consultant cost?

GrossiWeb quotes AI strategy consulting after a scoping call and does not publish a fixed price, because the audit is sized by the number of departments, processes and data sources it covers. A ten-person service business is a shorter engagement than a company with a warehouse, a sales team and three software systems that do not talk to each other.

FAQs

Questions people ask

What does an AI strategy consultant do?

An AI strategy consultant audits a business's operations, ranks the AI and automation opportunities by cost and return, and writes a phased roadmap with metrics agreed before implementation. GrossiWeb then builds the highest-priority items itself through its AI and automation practice, or hands the roadmap to the client's team. Businesses unsure where to begin can start with the automation and scale solution.

How much does an AI consultant cost?

GrossiWeb quotes AI strategy consulting after a scoping call, sized by the number of processes and data sources in the audit; there is no published flat fee. The quote separates the strategy work from any build that follows, so a client can take the roadmap elsewhere. Implementation prices for custom AI agents and RAG knowledge systems are also quoted per project.

How much does AI cost for a small business?

Two costs apply: the subscription or usage fees charged by model and tool vendors, which are published on their own pricing pages and billed to the business directly, and the cost of the work to connect those tools to real processes. GrossiWeb quotes the second part after scoping and helps the client estimate the first from actual usage. The AI builds page describes how usage is monitored and capped in production.
