Generative AI Consulting

Generative AI consulting that ends in a running system in your cloud — not a strategy deck your team has to implement later.

The short answer

Generative AI consulting is a fixed-scope delivery engagement that selects a bounded workflow, builds a production system in your cloud, evaluates it against golden sets and rubric judges, and hands over weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks — typically in four weeks. ReinforcedX quotes a platform subscription plus an implementation fee before week one, with no token markup on inference.

The premise

The standard implementation is four weeks: discovery, environments, shadow-mode, handover for a well-bounded workflow.

Why teams pick this engagement

Generative AI × Enterprise

Four weeks, not a quarter

Discovery, environments, shadow-mode, handover — the standard path for a well-bounded workflow. Heavier regulated reviews take longer because governance is heavier, not because the model is slower.

Your cloud, your data

Work runs in the client’s cloud. Data is not used to train shared models. Zero-retention provider settings are the default.

Model-agnostic by design

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, and client fine-tunes run through one interface. You pay the provider; there is no token markup.

Eval before go-live

Golden sets, rubric judges, and CI gates decide when a system is allowed to take traffic. A demo is not week four.

One owner, one engineer

A named process owner plus one engineer, with a weekly 45-minute review. The consultancy ends; the capability stays.

Artifacts you keep

Weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks are yours at handover. Thirty days of on-call cover follow.

Key takeaways

  • 01

    The standard implementation is four weeks: discovery, environments, shadow-mode, handover for a well-bounded workflow.

  • 02

    You own the weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks; client data is not used to train shared models.

  • 03

    Work runs in the client’s cloud with zero-retention provider settings by default.

  • 04

    The stack is model-agnostic — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, and client fine-tunes — and inference is billed by the client to the provider.

  • 05

    Staffing is one process owner plus one engineer with a weekly 45-minute review; 30 days on-call follow handover.

What the engagement covers

01

Workflow Scoping & Success Metric

Week one locks the workflow, the quality bar, the sources the system may use, and the risks that would stop the calendar. If the work cannot be bounded, we do not pretend four weeks will invent a metric.

02

Architecture in Your Cloud

Reference patterns on your identity layer, data stores, and observability — not a proprietary runtime you rent forever. Model choice is an eval-gated config, not a rewrite.

03

Build, Shadow-Mode, Integration

Environments and connectors in week two; shadow-mode on real traffic against the golden set in week three. The system sits in your stack, not a vendor sandbox.

04

Evaluation & CI Gates

Golden sets from real cases, rubric judges, and regression gates in CI. Production is permissions, traces, fallback, and a number the team agreed at kickoff.

05

Handover & 30-Day On-Call

Runbooks, eval triage, and working sessions so your engineers own the stack. Thirty days of on-call cover after handover; pricing remains the quoted subscription plus the fixed-scope fee.

How we work

  1. 01

    Discover

    Workflow, success metric, sources, and risks in week one. Unbounded work is declined, not padded.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture, permissions, eval plan, and model route reviewed before environments are stood up.

  3. 03

    Build

    Connectors, traces, and the first system in your cloud, with the weekly 45-minute review.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Shadow-mode against the golden set, rubric judges, and CI gates before live traffic.

  5. 05

    Deploy & Enable

    Handover of weights, datasets, evals, and runbooks, then 30 days on-call.

Frequently asked questions

What is generative AI consulting?

Generative AI consulting is a delivery engagement that turns a bounded workflow into a production system in your cloud, with evaluation and handover, not a slide deck. ReinforcedX’s standard path is four weeks: discovery, environments, shadow-mode, handover. You own weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks. Data is not used to train shared models. Book /demo to scope a workflow, or read /faq for how delivery actually runs.

What does a generative AI consulting firm actually do?

A serious firm selects one workflow, designs controls, builds in your perimeter, measures quality on a golden set, and leaves your team able to run it. We staff one process owner plus one engineer and hold a weekly 45-minute review. Inference is billed by you to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, or your fine-tune — no token markup. Firms that only produce roadmaps are strategy vendors; we ship the build.

How do I choose a generative AI consulting company?

Ask who owns the artifacts, where data lives, how quality is gated, and what happens after week four. You should keep weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks. Work should run in your cloud with zero-retention defaults. Evaluation should use golden sets, rubric judges, and CI gates. If those answers are vague, keep looking. Our /faq page states the same terms we quote before week one.

How long does generative AI consulting take?

A well-bounded workflow follows the four-week standard: discovery, environments, shadow-mode, handover. Financial-services governed pilots typically take 8–12 weeks; healthcare 10–14; ecommerce 6–10, because reviews and integrations are heavier. Thirty days of on-call follow handover. A playground demo can exist in days; production is the eval suite, permissions, traces, and fallback.

How much does generative AI consulting cost?

Pricing is a platform subscription plus a fixed-scope implementation fee, quoted in writing before week one. A slower week does not become a change order. You pay your model provider directly; ReinforcedX does not mark up tokens. Staffing is one process owner plus one engineer. Exact numbers depend on the workflow boundary agreed at /demo — we do not publish a menu price that ignores scope.

Do you work in our cloud or host the models yourselves?

Work runs in the client’s cloud, against your identity provider and data stores. Nothing is copied onto ReinforcedX infrastructure to “improve the product.” Zero-retention provider settings are the default, and client data is not used to train shared models. We are model-agnostic: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, and your fine-tunes. Private or VPC-hosted models are a config choice, not a rewrite.

Is generative AI consulting just ChatGPT workshops?

No. Prompt workshops do not produce permissions, traces, eval gates, or a runbook. Consulting here means a system that takes real traffic under a quality bar your team agreed at kickoff. If you would rather build it yourselves, the same patterns are documented on /how-to. If you would not, the work runs as the four-week engagement and you still own everything that ships.

What do we own when the engagement ends?

You own the weights, datasets, eval suites, and runbooks. There is no runtime lock-in that requires us to keep the system alive. Thirty days of on-call cover incidents after handover. Evaluation artifacts — golden sets, rubric judges, CI gates — stay in your repo so the next workflow reuses them. That ownership clause is the same one stated on /faq and quoted before week one.
