HOW WE WORK
We are not an AI agency. That's not
a tagline. It's the most important
thing you need to understand
before you hire anyone.
An agency gets paid to do the work. An advisor gets paid to protect you from the wrong work. Those are structurally different jobs — and they lead to very different outcomes for your business.
THE KITCHEN FRAMEWORK
How every AAG engagement is structured.
Before we touch a single tool, we understand the dish you're trying to make
List of Services
-
Your Business GoalList Item 1
More revenue. Faster team. Less operational drag. We always start here — never with the technology.
-
Your AI BlueprintList Item 2
Before touching a single tool, we design the process. Steps, order, handoffs. A repeatable, scalable operation.
-
Your Data & SystemsList Item 3
Quality inputs determine quality output. We audit what you have before we build anything on top.
-
Custom Integration
AI tools and workflows configured for your situation. Security baked in. Human in the loop. Always.
-
Iteration & Adoption
No dish is perfect first time. We taste, adjust, and improve. We stay until the team owns it confidently.
-
Ongoing Advisory
One better decision today. One tighter workflow this week. Over a year, the business is unrecognizable.
ADVISOR VS AGENCY
Advisor vs. Agency — what actually changes for you.
DELIVERY OPTIONS
The right model for your budget and team.
AAG always presents the options that genuinely fits — not the one that maximises our revenue.
Option 1
Fully in-house
AAG provides the blueprint and training. Your internal team builds and runs it. Ideal for teams with technical resources and strong leadership buy-in.
Best for: teams with internal technical capacity who need strategic direction.
Most common
Hybird
AAG leads discovery, strategy, and change management. Your team and AAG technical partners share the buildout.
Best for: growing mid-market businesses with mixed technical capability.
Option 3
Full AAG engagement
AAG and partner network handle end-to-end. Client leadership stays involved but doesn't need internal technical resources.
Best for: leaders who want a fully managed AI transformation.
7-PHASE PROCESS
Seven phases. One consistent outcome — a team that owns its AI,
confidently.
Every engagement follows this framework. What doesn't change is that nothing gets built
without your knowledge and buy-in.
List of Services
-
Discovery & business use case mappingList Item 1
We sit down together — you bring the business knowledge, we bring the framework. We map your people, process, and profit gaps and decide where AI can actually move the needle.
-
AI strategy & blueprint designList Item 2
Side by side, we translate what we discovered into a clear plan. Your priorities, constraints, and tech stack are all factored in before a single tool is chosen.
-
Tech stack review & alignmentList Item 3
We look at what you already have and what's working. If it works, we build around it. If something needs to change, we decide that together.
-
Design & enablementList Item 4
Sometimes your team builds it. Sometimes we bring in a trusted technical partner. Sometimes AAG leads. Nothing gets built without your knowledge and buy-in.
-
Hands-on training & upskilling
Not a course. Not a handoff. We train your team on the exact tools you chose together, in working sessions built around your workflows. The goal is confidence, not compliance.
-
Change management & adoption
This is where the rubber hits the road. We stay. We iterate. We troubleshoot together when the team hits friction. Self-sufficiency is the finish line.
-
Retainer advisory
A standing advisor in your corner. New use cases, new tools, new risks — you don't have to evaluate any of it alone. We keep watching the space so you don't have to.
THE STORY
The AI Strategy Snapshot.
90 minutes. Your biggest AI opportunity, mapped.
Before any engagement starts, we run a focused discovery session to surface your highest-impact AI use case, identify the quick wins, and define what success looks like before a single dollar is spent on a build.
This is how we protect you from jumping straight to a solution before the problem is fully understood.
$495 credit applies to any full engagement that follows.
List of Services
-
What you walk away withList Item 1
A prioritised list of your top AI use cases, a clear recommendation on where to start, and an honest assessment of your current readiness.
-
Who it's forList Item 2
Any business leader serious about AI but who doesn't know where to start — or has started and isn't seeing the results they expected.
-
30-day pilot guaranteeList Item 3
Hit the agreed KPI or we refund 50% of your pilot fee. We define the KPI together — success is crystal-clear before we start building.
FAQ
Questions we get before almost every engagement.
List of Services
-
How is AAG different from the AI agencies we've already spoken to?List Item 1
We don't get paid to build things. We get paid to make sure the right things get built — and that your team can run them without us. That structural difference shapes everything.
-
Will we be locked into an ongoing retainer?List Item 2
No. Every engagement is scoped clearly before it starts. The retainer is offered because clients find it valuable — not because it's baked into the contract.
-
What if we already have an internal IT team?List Item 3
That's a feature, not a problem. The hybrid model is our most common engagement — AAG leads strategy and change management, your team (and ours, if needed) handles execution.
-
Do you work with companies outside New England?List Item 4
Yes. While we're based in Boston, engagements run remotely and nationally. Grant-funded engagements can extend to smaller businesses with strong growth intent.
