The problem with most AI consulting firms
Strategy decks have a cost: they freeze the organization for six months while delivery teams scramble to interpret them. We collapse the cycle by running strategy and delivery in parallel from week one.

AI Consulting Services Backed by Engineering Delivery
FDE Team is the AI consulting firm for enterprises that want delivery, not decks. We pair AI strategy with Forward Deployed Engineering — so the architecture we recommend gets built, deployed, and operated under the same engagement.
What an FDE Team AI consulting engagement covers
A typical engagement spans the four pillars below.
- AI strategy: portfolio of use cases ranked by value, feasibility, and risk.
- Architecture: model, data, retrieval, application, governance, observability.
- Operating model: who runs the agent, how, with what evals, what SLAs.
- Delivery: a senior pod that ships v1 in weeks, with a path to scale.
AI strategy consulting that respects your P&L
Every recommendation we make is sized in dollars, not story points. We will tell you which use cases not to build — which is usually most of them.
AI consulting for the mid-market
Mid-market enterprises do not need McKinsey-scale engagements. They need a senior pod that has done this before. That is how we are built.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI consulting engagement look like?
A short discovery, a use-case portfolio, an architecture recommendation, and — if you choose — a delivery pod that builds the v1 inside the same engagement.
How do you compare to a Big Four AI consulting firm?
We are senior-only, fixed in scope, and we ship production systems. Most Big Four engagements end at the deck. We start where they stop.
What is AI strategy consulting?
Choosing the right AI use cases for your business, sequencing them, and designing the architecture and operating model so they actually ship.
