vs. Hiring an AI person

A senior AI hire with workforce domain knowledge costs $180K–$250K/year, takes months to find, and even longer to deliver results. You need someone who understands both AI and people operations — that’s a rare and expensive profile.

We deliver working systems for a fraction of a full-time salary

No permanent headcount — engage per project or retainer

Results in weeks, not months of onboarding

Your team owns the models — no dependency on one person

vs. Big consultancies

McKinsey, Deloitte, and Accenture have workforce analytics practices — but they target companies with $1B+ revenue and send teams of juniors armed with generic frameworks. A 500-person manufacturer isn’t on their radar.

We deliver working systems, not strategy decks

Fixed price — not $500/hour with scope creep

Senior-led — you work with the person who builds it

Built for companies your size, not adapted from enterprise playbooks

vs. DIY with spreadsheets and BI tools

Spreadsheet models and BI dashboards are a start — but they report on the past, not the future. They break when someone leaves, require manual updates, and can’t surface patterns in data at the scale that predictive models can.

Predictive models that forecast, not just report

Automated — no manual refresh, no single point of failure

Surfaces patterns too complex for spreadsheet formulas

Integrated with your HRIS — not a separate tool to maintain

vs. Other AI consultants

Most AI consultants learned ChatGPT and now pitch automation to anyone who will listen. Almost none have built actual workforce planning systems inside real organizations. We have.

Data scientist at Bombardier — built operational planning systems, not prompts

A decade of workforce and capacity planning inside large organizations

We build and ship — predictive models, dashboards, integrations

Diagnostic first — you see the opportunity before you commit
