What does an AI strategy engagement include?

NetAesthetics delivers a comprehensive AI implementation roadmap over 6 weeks. This is our most popular service because it gives you everything you need to make confident decisions about AI — without committing to a full implementation upfront.

Every strategy engagement includes competitive analysis showing what your competitors are doing with AI and where you can leapfrog them. We evaluate your existing technology stack, identify integration points, and recommend the right AI technologies for your specific use case.

You receive a prioritized implementation plan — what to build first, second, and third — with projected ROI at each stage. We include risk mitigation strategies and a team training plan so your people are ready when the technology arrives.

How is this different from what McKinsey or Accenture offers?

Traditional consultancies charge $500K+ for AI strategy work and deliver a 200-page PDF. They then hand you off to a separate implementation team that has never seen the strategy document.

NetAesthetics is different because the same team that writes your strategy also builds the solution. Our strategists are engineers. When we recommend a technology, it is because we have built with it — not because a vendor paid for placement in our report. And our AI implementation service picks up exactly where the strategy leaves off.

Who is this for?

The AI Strategy engagement is built for CEOs, CTOs, and Heads of Operations at companies with $5M to $50M in annual revenue who know they need AI but are not sure where to start — or who have tried AI before and want a better approach.

Industries we serve include healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, government contracting, and professional services.

What happens after the strategy is complete?

You own the deliverable. If you want to implement it yourself or hire another firm, you can. Most clients choose to continue with NetAesthetics because the transition from strategy to implementation is seamless — no re-explaining your business to a new team.

Not sure if strategy is the right starting point?

If you want to test the waters first, our AI Assessment ($25,000, 2 weeks) identifies where AI will have the biggest impact on your business. Or start even smaller with the AI Opportunity Audit ($9,500, 1 week) for a quick diagnostic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an AI strategy consulting engagement include?

A NetAesthetics AI strategy engagement delivers a comprehensive 6-week roadmap covering four core areas: competitive analysis (mapping what your competitors are doing with AI and where you can leapfrog them), technology selection (evaluating your existing stack and recommending the right AI tools for your specific use case), integration architecture (detailing exactly how new AI systems connect to your current infrastructure), and a prioritized implementation plan with projected ROI at each phase. You also receive risk mitigation strategies and a team training plan, so your people are ready when the technology is deployed.

How long does an AI strategy engagement take?

The engagement runs for exactly 6 weeks. Week 1 focuses on discovery and stakeholder interviews to map your current processes and competitive landscape. Weeks 2–3 cover technology evaluation and integration architecture design. Week 4 produces the prioritized implementation roadmap with phased ROI projections. Weeks 5–6 are dedicated to validation, refinement, and final presentation. The fixed 6-week timeline ensures you receive a complete, actionable deliverable without open-ended engagements that drag on for months.

What ROI can companies expect from AI strategy consulting?

Companies that invest in formal AI strategy before implementation see 3–5x higher ROI on their AI projects compared to those that begin implementation without a plan, according to McKinsey research. NetAesthetics clients have averaged 340% ROI across completed engagements. The $49,500 strategy investment often pays for itself within the first phase of implementation — for example, one healthcare client identified $2.1M in annual savings directly attributable to the roadmap produced during the strategy engagement. Having a clear roadmap also reduces costly mid-project pivots and technology re-selection.

How is NetAesthetics' AI strategy different from other consultants?

Traditional consultancies like McKinsey or Accenture charge $500K+ for AI strategy and deliver a 200-page PDF, then hand you off to a separate implementation team that has never read the document. NetAesthetics' key difference is continuity: the same engineers who write your strategy also build the solution. Our strategists have hands-on experience with the technologies they recommend — no vendor-paid placements in our reports. We also work exclusively with growth-stage companies ($5M–$50M revenue), meaning our frameworks are calibrated for your scale, not Fortune 500 complexity that rarely applies to mid-market challenges.
