A vendor has pitched you an AI subscription and you want an honest view of whether it actually does what it claims — before you commit.
AI Advisory & Guidance
Clarity without commitment.
Not every AI engagement needs to start with buliding something. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is slow donw, talk to someone who works with AI every day and get a clear second opinion before you spend any money.
Inzen's AI advisory service is a focused, flexible session - half day or full day, remote or in-person - built around whatever AI challenge is on your plate right now. There is now agenda to stick to and no product we are trying to sell you. Just honest, experienced advice with no agenda attached.
Clients come to advisory sessions for all kinds of reasons:
- A vendor has pitched a significant AI project and you want a critical eye before you sign
- Your team has started using AI tools ad hoc and you want to understand the risks before it becomes a compliance problem
- You have seen a demo and want a realistic view of whether it actually does what it claims
- You simply have a long list of questions and want someone to work through them honestly.
We come prepared. Before the session we ask you to share relevant context — your tools, your pain points, your goals — so the time is focused where it matters most. During the session we mix structured input with open questions, and we challenge assumptions rather than simply validate them.
Afterwards, we send a short written summary of what we discussed and what we recommend — something you can share with your team and refer back to as things develop.
Many clients also use advisory as a confidence check before internal decisions: aligning stakeholders, reducing uncertainty, and making sure the next step is proportionate to the opportunity. That often saves far more time and budget than jumping straight into delivery with an unclear brief.
Advisory works equally well as a standalone session or as a considered first step before moving into a PoC. There is no obligation to go further, and no upsell.
