Consultant or in-house
Cost, speed, risk and control side by side, with a fair verdict.
Custom or off-the-shelf
When a packaged product fits, and when a process built on your templates does.
Training or implementation
Teaching people a tool, or changing how the job is done.
Automation or hiring
Another hire, or rebuilding the job that is swamping the team.
Comparing AI consultancies
Roadmap sellers, trainers, resellers and build partners, and when each fits.
Doing nothing or acting now
When waiting is sensible, and when it quietly costs you.
Comparisons
Side-by-side comparisons of the main choices a firm faces when bringing in AI. Each sets the options against the same questions: how the cost is structured, how soon the work changes, who carries the risk, who controls the result and what is left when the provider goes. Each also says when Aldbry is the wrong choice.
Questions people ask
Are these comparisons neutral if Aldbry wrote them?
They are written by a provider, so read them with that in mind. Each one says plainly when another route is the better choice, including when a firm should not hire us at all, and none of them names or criticises another company.
Which comparison should we read first?
Start with the decision in front of you. If you are choosing between spending on people or on process, read automation or hiring. If you have already decided to bring someone in, read how to compare AI consultancies.
Why is there no price in any of these comparisons?
Because the honest answer depends on the process. The comparisons explain how each option is priced, so you can ask the right questions of any provider, and the audit estimates what the current way of working is costing you.
Which job is costing your firm the most?
Ten questions, about three minutes. You see the hours and the cost before you speak to anyone.
