AI consulting that turns strategy into shipped systems, not slide decks

AI consulting services help an organisation decide what AI to adopt and then make it work in practice. A complete engagement covers a readiness assessment, use-case prioritisation, an AI strategy and roadmap, data and governance foundations, building a proof of concept, taking it to production, and supporting adoption. 10Turtle delivers both the strategy and the engineering under one roof, so the roadmap and the system that delivers it never change hands.

MIT's 2025 State of AI in Business study found roughly 95% of generative-AI pilots delivered no measurable profit impact, and only about 5% reached production with real value. The cause is usually not the model, it's poor integration into real workflows, data that wasn't ready, and governance added too late. The same research found that teams who partner with an experienced external builder are about twice as likely to reach production.

AI consulting decides what to build and why; AI development builds it. The expensive failure mode is splitting them, a strategy firm hands you a roadmap and leaves, or a dev shop builds something that solves the wrong problem. 10Turtle does both with one accountable team, which removes the handoff gap where most AI initiatives die.

A focused AI readiness assessment is typically a few weeks; a full strategy and roadmap commonly takes about 4–12 weeks depending on your size, data maturity and use-case complexity. We work in milestones so you see documented deliverables at each stage rather than waiting months for a single report.

Cost depends on scope, data maturity and outcomes. We price on value with clear, defined deliverables, and offer fixed-scope readiness assessments, milestone-based project engagements, advisory retainers, and fractional AI leadership. Your free audit ends with a recommended model and an honest scope, including telling you if you'd waste budget building on data that isn't ready yet.

If you can't answer basic business questions from your existing data within a day, you likely need data-readiness work before model-building, otherwise a consultant spends your budget cleaning data instead of delivering AI. Our readiness audit tells you exactly which you need, in plain terms.

Both. Strategy that we can't (or won't) build isn't strategy, it's a document. Our roadmap is written by the people who will execute it, and we take use cases from POC through to a production system with monitoring and support.

Yes, it's one of our core strengths. We audit what exists, diagnose why it stalled (almost always data, integration or governance, not the model), and re-architect it into something that ships and scales. We're experts in redesigning and re-automating AI that didn't work the first time.

We design governance from day one and build one program mapped across NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act, plus GDPR data-protection by design. High-risk EU AI Act obligations apply from 2 August 2026, with top-tier penalties reaching €35M or 7% of global turnover (for prohibited practices), we get you classified, documented and defensible ahead of the deadline.

AI is not set-and-forget. We monitor for model drift, retrain as needed, and train your internal owners, with the explicit goal of reducing your dependency on us over time, not increasing it.

We define where LLMs and autonomous agents genuinely fit your workflows and where they don't. Agents are moving fast into core enterprise apps, but governance and data quality are the top blockers, so we design the oversight and orchestration that let you adopt the frontier without inheriting its risk.
