Answering the call for real-world AI

Is your team pressured to “deliver AI” from executives?

Between you and me, here’s the unfortunate reality.

For most organizations, Generative AI is the wrong place for them to start. But here’s the good news.

Despite what social media and AI vendors would lead you to believe, machine learning is a form of AI.

However, your first machine learning project is risky. The failure rates for ML projects are reported to be as high as 80%.

I can help you eliminate the risk.

Machine Learning Accelerator

The Machine Learning Accelerator is your “easy button” for your first ML project.

If you are ready to tackle your first ML project, the last thing you want to do is ask for a large budget and promise a massive ROI in return.

Why?

Other than for the simplest business problems, you won’t know if you can craft a valuable ML solution until you try.

Oh, and the simplest business problems usually don’t have much ROI.

Here’s how the Accelerator eliminates your risk:

  1. It’s a fixed-fee service offering.

  2. I spelunk into your data to see if an ML solution is feasible.

  3. I will provide all the source code and models if feasible.

  4. If not feasible, I provide possible remedies (and the source code).

  5. Regardless of feasibility, your team will get technical knowledge transfer and your stakeholders will get a detailed project report.

The outcome?

You will know if an ML solution can deliver real ROI to your organization. When ML can provide real ROI, you will have a plan for next steps - including subsequent budgetary requests.

FAQs

  • Short answer - no!

    While most clients opt for crafting predictive models, this is not a requirement.

    For example, clients also engage the Accelerator for cluster analysis.

    Let’s talk about your needs.

  • Accelerator projects typically take 8-12 weeks.

    The principal drivers for timelines are:

    • A clearly defined scope.

    • Getting access to data.

    • SME availability for questions.

  • I perform the bulk of the work independently. The Accelerator is designed to be as turnkey as possible.

    That being said, I will need the following from you:

    • A clearly defined scope for the project.

    • Access to required data (e.g., via a VM you provide).

    • Access to subject matter experts (SMEs) for questions I will have.

  • As a fixed-fee service, the Accelerator includes:

    • Up to 80 hours of consulting.

    • All source code and models.

    • PowerPoint final report, including recommended next steps.

    • Stakeholder briefing (optional).

  • The Accelerator is a fixed-cost consulting engagement priced at 10,000 USD.

    I can travel if required, which will incur additional costs and may add to the delivery timeline.

    If you require travel, contact me and let’s talk.
