What is an AI strategy?
An AI strategy is a prioritized plan for where artificial intelligence will cut cost, remove manual work, or increase output in a specific business - and in what order to build it. It starts with an audit of every function to find AI opportunities, ranks them by ROI and implementation effort, and sequences them into a roadmap the team can follow. Velakova delivers this as an executable roadmap with vendor recommendations, risk assessment, and change management built in, so you build the right things first instead of automating the wrong ones.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI strategy cost?
Velakova's AI strategy engagements start at $495, with full roadmap delivery in 1-2 weeks.
What's the difference between AI strategy and AI automation?
AI strategy identifies and prioritizes what to build. AI automation builds it. If you already know what to automate, skip to the build - see our AI workflow automation service.
Do I need an AI strategy before automating?
If you're unsure which processes are worth automating, yes - a roadmap prevents you from spending on low-ROI builds. If you already know, go straight to the build.
What's in the roadmap?
A business-wide AI readiness audit, a prioritized use-case register, vendor recommendations, a 12-month phased implementation plan, and a risk and compliance assessment.
