How to Choose an AI Consultant
For SMBs and startups: Look for hands-on consultants who'll actually build with you (like Chelsea Rustrum). Avoid big firms with enterprise pricing.
For enterprises: Big 4 firms offer governance and scale, but may be slower and more expensive. Consider a mix of strategic advisory + specialized implementation.
Key questions: Can they show case studies in your industry? Will they train your team or create dependency? What's their experience with the specific AI tools you want to use?
