AI consulting services built around one number.
And the work behind it.
AI consulting services help a company decide where AI should work, build the first workflows, and train the team to run them. Greenfield provides all three for B2B companies with a number to move. Every agent gets a review at 30, 60, and 90 days.
Four services inside AI consulting
Most AI consulting services fall into four kinds of work. A good engagement names which ones it covers and which ones it leaves to you.
- 01Strategy and a roadmap.The consultant scores your readiness, picks the first use case, and sets the order of work. Greenfield’s AI Roadmap does this in a two-to-three-week Diagnostic.
- 02Build and integration.The consultant, your engineers, or both build the agents and automations inside your CRM and help desk. Agentic Workflows is the Greenfield version.
- 03Training and adoption.Your employees learn to run and extend the work. AI Fluency trains the whole company on its own work.
- 04Governance and risk.Someone decides who may use which data and which tools, and keeps a record. An AI governance framework for a revenue team fits on one card.
What to compare when you choose AI consulting services
Proposals for AI consulting services look alike on the first page. Score each kind of engagement on the same five criteria. The first two columns describe each kind in general. The third column describes how Greenfield works.
| Criterion | Advice only | Extra people on your team | Embedded partner (Greenfield) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first result | A report or a roadmap. The build starts later, with someone else. | Depends on how fast your team assigns the work and the people ramp up. | A working prototype in week 1 and a live workflow by day 30. |
| Who owns it | Your team carries out the plan. The consultant is accountable for the advice. | Your managers direct the work and carry the result. | Your company owns the workflows, prompts, documentation, and results. Greenfield stays accountable for the outcome. |
| Data access | Usually little. The advice rests on interviews and documents. | The people work inside your systems under your rules. | Greenfield builds inside your systems, with access scoped to the workflow. |
| Cost model | A fixed fee for the report. | A rate for each person and each period. | A scoped retainer or a defined project, priced before the prototype. |
| Review | A readout at the end. | Your managers review the people as they review any staff. | Every agent is reviewed at 30, 60, and 90 days against one metric. |
The kinds combine. A company can start with advice and then hire a partner for the build. Read how a fractional chief AI officer compares with a partner if you also need a leader for the function.
Check any quote against five lines
Before you sign, look for each of these lines in the written scope. A line that is missing is a question for the firm.
Illustrative // Anonymized
- 01One number. Named.The scope says which number the work moves: revenue, profit, or predictability. A scope that lists only activities fails this line.
- 02Dates, counted from access.The scope gives a date for the first running software and a date for a live workflow, and says when the clock starts.
- 03One owner for each agent.Every agent has one named owner on your side and one metric. See the Agent Job Description for the format.
- 04A review that can end the work.The scope names review dates and says what happens on a miss. Greenfield rebuilds or retires the agent.
- 05What you keep.The scope says that you own the workflows, prompts, and documentation. Read your data stays yours for the access questions a security reviewer asks.
Questions about AI consulting services
What do AI consulting services include?
They include strategy, build, training, and governance. A firm may cover one or all four, so ask which ones the quote covers. The Offerings page shows how Greenfield packages them.
How long does an AI consulting engagement last?
The length follows the scope. At Greenfield, the Diagnostic takes two to three weeks. A prototype runs in week 1 after data access, a workflow is live by day 30, and three are live by day 90.
How is AI consulting different from an AI automation agency?
Consulting covers the decision about where AI should work. An AI automation agency builds the automation once that decision exists. Greenfield does both, in that order.
What should I ask before I hire an AI consulting firm?
Ask which number the work moves, when something runs in your systems, and what happens on a miss. The generative AI consulting page lists six questions in full.
