Enterprise AI consulting
Enterprise AI consulting has to survive things a demo never does: procurement, security review, data boundaries, and a dozen stakeholders who each get a veto. That is the work we do, and we will tell you where a boutique like ours fits and where it does not.
Who this fits
We work with organizations that already run at scale: legacy systems that cannot just be swapped, regulators who expect answers, security teams who review every new data path, and enough stakeholders that buy-in is a real project of its own. That usually means a few hundred to tens of thousands of employees. Enterprise AI rarely fails on the model. It fails on the integration, the access review, and the people who were never going to change a process because a pilot worked.
Where we do not fit
We are a boutique, not a 500-person systems integrator, and for some enterprise programs that is the wrong shape. If you need a hundred contractors on-site next month, that is not us, and we will say so on the first call. What we are built for is senior work: the people who do the work in the room, decisions you can defend to a board, and systems your own team can run after we leave. For the largest programs we scope in phases and bring in the specialists a phase needs, rather than carrying a bench you pay for whether it is earning its keep or not.
How an engagement works
Everything starts with the assessment: fixed scope, 3–6 weeks, priced at $20,000 to $80,000 (where in that range depends on scope: how many systems and teams we assess, company size, and regulatory exposure). You get a concrete recommendation with costs, sequence, and the security and governance work each step needs. Sometimes the recommendation is do not build this yet. Larger work follows only when the assessment has earned it. For context, published 2026 ranges put a scoped production build at $50,000–$250,000. And that band is a single scoped build; multi-system, multi-year programs run seven figures and beyond, and scale like that is work we take.
The segments we write for
Enterprise realities differ by sector, so we keep a page for each where the constraints are specific:
- AI consulting for financial services: model risk, explainability, and regulated data.
- AI consulting for private equity: portfolio value creation and honest diligence on AI in a target.
- Healthcare AI consulting: PHI boundaries and the line between administrative and clinical work.
The governance side of all of this, the policies, controls, and risk tiering, is our AI governance consulting and AI risk assessment work, and the framework we map to is written up as our AI governance framework. This page is the segment hub for our broader AI consulting.
Who does the work
The senior people at Tillerbridge are Nick Major, an engineer, and Isaac Major, an operator who has run teams inside global enterprises. Backgrounds are on the about page. We are a young firm, so there are no client logos here yet, and we will not borrow any. What we can show instead is published pricing, a fixed-scope process, and the senior people who do the work. We also run two non-commercial organizations, the Institute of Applied Artificial Intelligence and the Association for Executive AI Leadership: common founders, separate brands, nothing funnels.
Questions people ask
- What counts as an enterprise here?
- There is no clean line, but the work fits companies from a few hundred to tens of thousands of employees, where the hard parts are legacy systems, regulation, security review, and change. If you are a ten-person company, a good freelancer is usually the better buy, and costs less.
- Can a boutique handle enterprise security and procurement?
- For the senior work, yes, and it is often faster: you deal with the people who make the decisions, not a rotating account team. For a program that needs a hundred people on-site next month, no, and we will tell you. We scope in phases and bring in the specialists a phase needs, rather than carrying a bench.
- How much does enterprise AI consulting cost?
- Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope assessment at $20,000 to $80,000 over 3–6 weeks; where in that range depends on scope: how many systems and teams we assess, company size, and regulatory exposure. Larger work is priced per scope after that. Published 2026 ranges put a scoped production build at $50,000–$250,000, and that band is a single scoped build; multi-system, multi-year programs run seven figures and beyond, and scale like that is work we take. The wider market picture is in our AI consulting rates guide.
- Do you replace our systems integrator?
- Usually no. We are the senior layer that decides what is worth building and designs it; a large integrator can be the right hands for a big rollout. We are happy to work alongside one, and to tell you honestly when they are the better primary vendor for what you need.
