What Our AI Consulting Covers

Every consulting engagement is led by an engineer who has shipped production AI systems — not a strategy consultant who's read the same white papers as you.

🗺️

AI Opportunity Assessment

We map your business processes, identify where AI creates the highest ROI, and produce a prioritised list of 3–5 use cases with a business case for each — payback period, implementation cost, effort.

  • Business process mapping interview (2–4 sessions)
  • ROI model for each use case
  • Prioritised roadmap with timelines
  • India-specific quick wins identified
  • Delivered as a working document, not a deck
🏗️

AI Architecture Design

Technical architecture design for your AI system — which LLM, vector store, orchestration framework, infrastructure, and how it integrates with your existing software stack.

  • LLM selection (GPT-4o vs Claude vs Llama 3)
  • Vector store selection (pgvector / Pinecone / Qdrant)
  • Agent framework (LangGraph vs CrewAI)
  • ERP/CRM integration design
  • Security + data residency plan
⚖️

Build vs Buy vs License

Unbiased evaluation of whether to build custom AI, licence a SaaS AI product, or use a platform like Vertex AI / Azure OpenAI — with a specific recommendation for your use case.

  • SaaS AI product landscape mapping
  • Total cost of ownership comparison
  • Data privacy and residency analysis
  • Vendor lock-in risk assessment
  • 3-year TCO model
📊

AI Strategy for CXO / Board

A plain-English AI strategy document suitable for board presentation — where AI will change your industry, what your competitors are doing, and what you should do in the next 12 months.

  • Industry-specific AI landscape review
  • Competitor AI adoption analysis
  • 12-month AI initiative roadmap
  • Budget and team requirements
  • Risk and governance framework
🧪

AI POC Design and Validation

Design and execute a proof of concept for your highest-priority AI use case — validating feasibility, accuracy, and ROI assumptions before committing to a full production build.

  • POC scope definition
  • 2-week working prototype
  • Accuracy benchmarking on your data
  • Go/no-go recommendation with evidence
  • Transition to production build if validated
🛡️

AI Governance and Risk

Practical AI governance for Indian enterprises — responsible AI policy, bias testing, data privacy compliance (DPDP Act), audit trail requirements, model monitoring.

  • India DPDP Act compliance review

  • Data classification and handling policy
  • Model monitoring and alerting design
  • AI incident response playbook

FAQ

Common Questions

What does XPndAI's AI consulting service include?
Four areas: (1) AI Opportunity Assessment — map your processes, identify 3–5 high-ROI use cases with business cases; (2) AI Architecture Design — LLM selection, vector store, orchestration framework, ERP integration design; (3) Build vs Buy vs License — unbiased comparison of custom build vs SaaS AI products vs cloud AI platforms; (4) AI POC Design — design and execute a working prototype to validate before full commitment. Consulting always ends in a working prototype, not just a strategy PDF.
How much does AI consulting cost in India?
AI Opportunity Assessment: $5K–$15K (2–4 weeks). Architecture + Working Prototype: $15K–$35K (6–8 weeks). Full Enterprise AI Strategy + Governance: $30K–$80K (8–16 weeks). All fixed-scope with clear deliverables — not open-ended monthly retainers. We also offer a free 1-hour consultation before any engagement to confirm fit.
How is XPndAI different from Big 4 AI consultants (EY, Deloitte, Accenture)?
Three differences: First, we're engineers not account managers — the person who consults you is the person who will build the system. Big 4 consulting typically hands off to a delivery partner or offshore build team. Second, we're India-specific — we understand Tally ERP, GST invoice formats, Aadhaar, UPI, Hindi voice AI, DPDP Act; Big 4 global consulting applies generic global frameworks. Third, cost — a Big 4 AI strategy engagement costs 3–10x more for comparable output. We work with mid-market companies, not just Fortune 500.
Do you only consult or can you also build the AI system?
We do both. Consulting always includes the option to transition directly to a build engagement. Many clients start with an Opportunity Assessment or Architecture + POC engagement, then move to a production build project at the fixed-scope pricing on our AI development pages. There's no handoff to a different team — the same engineers who designed the architecture build the system. This avoids the "consulting-to-delivery translation loss" that happens at larger firms.
