AI project rescue for stalled pilots

MIT found 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots deliver no measurable return. We take the one that stalled — chatbot, RAG, automation — find out why, and ship the version that actually works. From $3,500.

From $3,500 Timeline 2–4 weeks You own everything

What you get

Scope agreed up front. Fixed price. Weekly demos.

  • Root-cause audit: prompts, data, architecture, integration — or the wrong problem
  • Fix-or-rebuild verdict with honest math before we touch code
  • Evaluation harness so “it seems better” becomes a measured number
  • Guardrails, monitoring, and QA gates wired in before relaunch
  • Handoff your team can run — docs, runbooks, and training included

You walk away with

Root-cause audit + rescue plan

Included in every engagement — ownership transfers on delivery.

Working system in production

Included in every engagement — ownership transfers on delivery.

Eval suite + monitoring

Questions, answered

Why do most AI projects fail?

Rarely because of the model. MIT’s research points to integration and workflow gaps; S&P Global found 42% of companies abandoned most of their AI initiatives in 2025. The fix is usually engineering — data plumbing, evaluation, guardrails, and scoping — which is exactly what a rescue engagement does.

A vendor or internal team built it. Will you take it over?

Yes — that’s the typical case. We audit what exists without blame, keep what works, and replace what doesn’t. You get a written verdict before committing to the rescue.

What if the project should never have been AI in the first place?

We’ll tell you, in writing. Sometimes the right rescue is plain workflow automation or a simpler internal tool — cheaper to run and easier to trust. We build that instead of forcing AI where it doesn’t pay.
