AI strategy and transformation consulting
AI strategy consulting that builds a clear, costed AI roadmap. Assess readiness, prioritise use cases and lead transformation with confidence.
Arm 1 — core practice
AI consultancy that turns strategy into working systems
Alugence is an independent AI consultancy that helps UK and US businesses adopt artificial intelligence and turn it into working, governed systems. We cover the whole journey — from AI strategy and readiness through automation, custom development and training — with named senior consultants accountable for measurable outcomes.
What is AI consultancy?
AI consultancy is expert advisory and delivery that helps an organisation plan, build and adopt artificial intelligence to improve how it operates. A good AI consultant assesses readiness, prioritises high-value use cases, builds or integrates the systems, and helps teams use them safely. Alugence does all four — we're a consultancy that delivers, not just advises.

How we work
We keep it structured and low-risk. Most clients begin with a fixed-fee AI Readiness Sprint, then move to a Discovery & Pilot on real data, and — where it's proven — a Build & Embed into live operations. Ongoing leadership is available as a Fractional CAIO. Every engagement has a named lead, documented decisions and a clean handover.
FAQs
Questions buyers ask us first.
What does an AI consultancy do?
An AI consultancy helps you decide where AI will add value, then builds and embeds it. That spans strategy and readiness, use-case prioritisation, building automation and AI agents, integrating with existing systems, governance, and training staff. Alugence delivers all of this end to end, rather than handing you a slide deck.
How is Alugence different from other AI consultancies?
Alugence pairs AI adoption with AI search visibility under one brand, and delivers with named senior consultants rather than an anonymous team. We prioritise use cases by value, effort and risk, and measure outcomes — from hours saved to citations earned in AI answer engines.
How much does AI consulting cost?
Fixed-fee diagnostics start from £3,500 / $4,500, pilots from £15,000 / $19,000, and production builds from £40,000 / $50,000, with monthly retainers and day rates available. See pricing for details, or try the AI ROI Calculator.
Where do we start?
Most clients start with an AI Readiness Assessment or a two-week AI Readiness Sprint. It gives you a readiness score, a shortlist of prioritised use cases, and a costed plan — a low-risk way to begin. Book a discovery call to scope it.
Do you work with small businesses and enterprises?
Both. We have packaged, affordable support for small businesses and a governance-led enterprise AI practice for larger organisations working with IT, security and compliance teams.
