Working software by week two.
Our Strategy Sprint opens with a working prototype, not a deck. You see AI doing something real before we discuss the roadmap.
AI Consulting · PXT AI
AI consulting that ships in weeks - not a deck in months.
The senior-team alternative to big-firm AI consulting, for companies that want working software in weeks - not a six-month discovery engagement and a 200-slide deck.

Six months. Two hundred slides. Nothing in production.
Big-firm AI engagements are structured for the firm's interests, not yours. Long discovery phases billable by the hour. Delivery teams staffed with the talent on the bench this quarter, not the talent who scoped the work. And the statistic that rarely makes it into the pitch deck: 60% of enterprise AI projects never make it to production.
12-month procurement cycle
Discovery phase: 60 days billable
Senior partners sell it, junior teams deliver it
Quarterly check-in: "still in design"
Proprietary platform: your team can't touch it
Exit clause: you pay to leave
Repeat next budget cycle.
Senior team. Capped budget. Working software.
We run lean on purpose. A small senior team with no delivery pyramid means every hour you pay for is an hour of experienced engineering - not handoff overhead, internal meetings, or status decks.
02
Seniors on every call.
No delivery pyramid. The engineer who scopes the work is the engineer who ships it. Zero hand-offs to a junior team you never met.
03
Capped budget. Hard stop.
Every engagement has a written cap in the SOW. We stop at the number. No silent overruns, no scope-creep invoices, no surprise at month six.
04
You own everything.
All code, models, pipelines, and documentation transfer to you at handoff. No proprietary runtime, no vendor lock-in, no exit fee.
05
Knowledge transfer is in the contract.
Runbooks, eval harnesses, and an onboarding program for your engineers ship with every build. When we leave, you can maintain it.
Real projects. Published numbers. No client references hidden behind NDAs.
A Series A fintech had three stalled AI pilots and board pressure to show something. We ran a 2-week Strategy Sprint: surfaced three projects worth running, two worth killing, and a $400K priority backlog. Total cost: $6K fixed. The follow-on fraud-detection build shipped in 9 weeks under an $81K cap. A logistics SaaS replaced a 14-person manual review queue with an LLM pipeline we built in 7 weeks under a $77K cap. The queue cleared in week one.

The Sprint cost less than one month of one senior engineer's salary. It saved us at least a quarter of misdirected work and got us three projects that actually shipped.

Questions before the contract.
Are you as "safe" as a big firm?
Safe is a real concern and you should push on it. What we offer: a published rate card (same for every client), written budget caps in every SOW, IP ownership that transfers fully at handoff, and a money-back guarantee on the Strategy Sprint. What we cannot offer is a brand name on the engagement letter. If that is a board-room requirement, we are the wrong fit. If it is not, the delivered software is the same quality - often better, because the senior engineer who scoped it is the one who built it.
Can you handle enterprise compliance requirements?
Yes. We deploy in your VPC on AWS, GCP, or Azure when your compliance team requires it. We sign DPAs, operate on enterprise API tiers with data-retention disabled, and can work with your legal team on BAAs or equivalent agreements. For regulated industries (fintech, mortgage, logistics) we have shipped production AI under exactly those constraints.
What if AI is not the right answer for our problem?
We will tell you before you pay for a build. The Strategy Sprint surfaces both the projects worth running and the pilots worth killing. One fintech client learned that two of their three AI initiatives were solving problems they could fix with a spreadsheet and a Zapier flow. That advice cost them $6K and saved them a quarter of misdirected engineering spend.
How do you keep the budget from ballooning like big-firm projects do?
The cap is a hard commitment in the SOW, not a guideline. At 50%, 75%, and 90% of the cap you get a written burn-rate update: where we are, what is left, what is at risk. If genuinely new scope appears, we stop, write a clear proposal, and wait for sign-off. Most projects close at 90-105% of the original estimate.
What size company do you typically work with?
Series A to Series C startups and SMBs between 20 and 500 staff. We have worked with larger organizations, but our model is designed for companies where a single decision-maker can say yes - no 12-month procurement cycles, no RFP theatrics.
