Small business AI consulting means getting a clear plan for where AI actually saves time or money in your operations, then building it, not sitting through theory sessions. Gartner and McKinsey both put AI adoption rates among businesses at 70-85% now. Falling behind that curve costs more than the work to catch up.
Delphi Tech Consulting runs this through three tiers. An Assessment (2-3 weeks) pinpoints where AI creates real value in your business and what to prioritize first. A Sprint (6-8 weeks) builds functional AI workflows tied to measurable business results, things like faster turnaround, fewer manual steps, or better customer response times. A Partner engagement is an ongoing monthly retainer for businesses that want AI capability built into how they operate long-term, not a one-off project.
Small businesses typically start with an Assessment. It gives you a concrete list of opportunities and priority actions without committing to a full build. If the opportunity is obvious and urgent, some businesses move straight to a Sprint.
What affects the right starting point: how much of your workflow is already digitized, what data you have access to, and whether you're solving a single problem or rethinking a whole process. One team handles the AI engineering and the product/UX work together, so you're not managing separate vendors or a handoff between "the AI people" and "the design people."
If you handle sensitive data, we scope security and data handling requirements into the engagement from the start.
