What kind of AI consulting should a mid-sized company hire first?

Short answer

A mid-sized company's first AI consulting engagement should be a diagnostic: understand the processes, show where artificial intelligence pays off (and where it doesn't), and end with a plan with scope, priorities, and an estimate. Starting with a big project before this map is the most common way to spend money with no result.

More context

In mid-sized companies, AI opportunities tend to be scattered: customer service, order entry, reconciliation, reports, documents. A diagnostic compares these areas by return and ease of implementation, and keeps the choice from being driven by the trendiest tool.

  • A map of the processes that consume hours of manual work.
  • Opportunities prioritized by return, with the ones that aren't worth it spelled out.
  • A technical plan with scope and estimate that any team can execute.
  • Data and LGPD (Brazil's data protection law) safeguards for each area.

Alto Vale IA's consulting is remote and direct with the partners. The result is a technical plan, scope, and estimate — not a motivational slide deck. If the conclusion is that the problem can be solved without AI, we say so. You can hire Alto Vale IA to carry it out, in cycles of 2 to 4 weeks; the plan also works for another team.
