Scope & approachMy approach to AI adoption
Where should you start with AI?
Understand the starting point. Plan the changes.
We assess your marketing processes, data and team, choose useful AI applications and plan a pilot. After implementation, we review what has changed and what needs further work.
How I assess and implement AICLARITY before action.
A consultation can focus on one difficult decision. An audit investigates the constraints behind current performance. A strategy project brings the findings into a plan that your team can own.
We agree the scope, expected output, timing and fee after discussing your context. Work is available in English and Russian, online and by arrangement in Yerevan.
