AI Consulting

Where AI produces return, costed and sequenced.

AI Consulting establishes which AI investments an institution should make, in what order, and at what cost, before engineering spend begins.

Assessment

AI readiness assessment

A fixed-scope diagnostic with a defined start, end, and deliverable.

The assessment reviews the client's data, workflows, and systems against candidate use cases. Each use case is scored on operational value, data readiness, integration effort, and risk, then costed and sequenced into a roadmap. The client owns the roadmap and can execute it with Nexa or another vendor.

Deliverables

  • Ranked use-case portfolio
  • Costed, sequenced implementation roadmap
  • Data and integration readiness findings
  • Specification for the first priority build
Roadmap

Business case and roadmap

Investment sequenced by return, dependency, and risk.

Each prioritised use case carries a cost estimate, an expected operational return, its data and integration dependencies, and its place in the build sequence. The roadmap is written for the executive committee and the board, and it specifies the first build in enough detail to tender or to start with Nexa.

Contents

  • Cost and return estimate per use case
  • Dependency and sequencing plan
  • Build-versus-buy recommendation per use case
  • Specification for the first build
Governance

AI governance and policy

The controls an institution needs before AI reaches customers or decisions.

Nexa drafts the policies, approval workflows, and risk assessments that govern how the institution adopts AI: which use cases require human review, how models are evaluated before release, and how data is handled under the client's regulatory obligations.

Deliverables

  • AI use policy
  • Model risk assessment
  • Human review and approval design
  • Data handling and retention rules
Model selection

Model and vendor selection

Independent evaluation against the client's own data.

Client inputs

What the assessment requires

Four inputs from the client set the depth of the assessment.

The assessment runs on access, documents, and time from the people who run the operation. Nexa requests each input at the scoping call so the assessment starts on an agreed date.

Inputs

  • Interviews with process owners and system administrators
  • Sample data and schemas from candidate systems
  • Architecture and integration documentation
  • A named executive sponsor
Next step

From roadmap to build

The first build on the roadmap moves into AI Engineering.
