Who it’s for — and who it isn’t
A good fit
- You have an in-house team or a vendor and want an independent plan or review
- You're choosing tools and want an answer with no reseller margin in it
- You need a build plan or an architecture you can hand to your own developers
Not a fit
- Open-ended hourly advice — every engagement has a written scope and a fixed price
- Anything that needs a licensed professional: legal, tax, insurance — we'll say so
- A substitute for the audit when what you really need is the audit
What you get
- A written plan or review, with recommendations ranked by payoff, effort, and risk
- Vendor or proposal review in plain English: what's sound, what's missing, what it will really cost to run
- Architecture and data-handling guidance for an in-house build
- A readout with the owner and the people who'll act on it

What it looks like
Pricing
Quoted per project after a fit call. The quote states scope, deliverables, timeline, and a fixed price. There is no advertised hourly rate.
What changes the price
- Depth: a one-week review versus a month of planning
- How many people and systems are involved
- Whether you want us alongside your team during the build
Ongoing third-party costs
- None from us. Any tools you adopt are on their own published pricing.
Estimated in every proposal, paid by you directly, never marked up. Details on the pricing page.
AI Strategy & Implementation Consulting from GainSolutions is project-based and quoted in writing after a fit call, with a fixed price per engagement. There is no advertised hourly rate.
Ownership, security, and support after launch
- Built in accounts you own. We ask for the least access that gets the job done and hand it back at the end.
- Source code, prompts, and documentation delivered to you on full payment. Nothing proprietary to migrate off.
- Monitoring and a human fallback wherever an error would cost you money or trust.
- A written post-launch fix window on every build, and an optional month-to-month retainer after that.
Questions about this service
Why not just do the audit?
If the question is "what should we automate first", the audit is the right product and costs less. Consulting is for when you already have a team or a vendor and need an independent plan, review, or architecture.
Will you review a proposal from another AI vendor?
Yes. You get a plain-English read on what's sound, what's missing, what it will really cost to run, and what to ask them before signing.
Can you work alongside our developer?
Yes, on a scoped basis: a written plan, then a set number of review sessions during their build.
Start with a 20-minute fit call
What happens next:
- You pick a 20-minute slot and answer six short questions, so the call is about your business, not ours.
- On the call we look at one workflow together and tell you honestly whether it's worth automating — and roughly what it would cost.
- Afterwards you get a short written summary and, if it makes sense, a fixed-price proposal. No follow-up sequence, no pressure.
