Tiger Tail is a done-for-you AI implementation and strategy consultancy for small and mid-size businesses. We audit your operations, assess your AI readiness, build a prioritized roadmap, and then implement it. Strategy and build under one roof. No slide decks handed off to an internal team that does not exist.

Gartner / McKinseyOf companies lack the in-house expertise to scale AI. They have the budget and the intent. They do not have the people or the process.
Bain, 2025Of AI scaling challenges are people-and-process problems, not technology: change management, workflow redesign, governance, and alignment.
BCG, 2024Tiger Tail is not a strategy firm that hands you a roadmap and disappears. We are an implementation firm that starts with strategy because we know that is where most projects fail. Every engagement begins with understanding your business before we touch a single tool.
A structured review of your current operations, tools, and workflows to identify where AI can create the highest-impact, fastest-payback opportunities. We look at what you are already doing, what you are spending money on, and where the biggest gaps are between your current state and what is possible. You get a clear picture of your AI landscape and a prioritized list of what to do first.
A deeper diagnostic that evaluates your organization across the five dimensions that determine whether AI projects succeed or fail: strategy and vision, data foundation, technical infrastructure, organizational readiness, and governance. You get a scored assessment, a benchmark against peers, and a clear view of what needs to be in place before you build.
Turns your assessment findings into a concrete plan. Which workflows to automate first. What the ROI looks like. What the build sequence is. What resources and integrations are required. What success looks like at 30, 90, and 180 days. Most importantly, who is building it and when. Not a vision document. A working plan with a timeline attached.
We do not just advise. We build. After the strategy and roadmap are finalized, Tiger Tail implements the systems, manages the integrations, and sees the work through to production. Your team is involved in testing and approval. We handle the technical build. You get a working system, not a recommendation to hire a developer.
We dig into how your business actually runs and where time and money leak out.
We get inside your workflows, tools, and data to understand the real constraints.
We turn what we found into a prioritized plan and an AI readiness scorecard.
You get a clear roadmap, and we start building, with your first system live before week five.
We had tried three different AI tools on our own. Each one got set up, used for a few weeks, and then abandoned because nobody had time to figure it out and it did not fit how we actually worked. Tiger Tail came in, audited what we had, told us which of our ideas were actually worth pursuing, and built the one that mattered. It has been running for eight months and we have not touched it.
We do not stop at strategy. Most consultants hand you a document and walk away. We stay until the system is live. The AI Gameplan produces a roadmap and then we build what is on it. Strategy and implementation under one roof means no gap between what we recommend and what actually gets built.
Because we start by understanding why they did not stick. Most AI pilots fail due to poor workflow fit, no change management, and nobody owning the outcome after launch. We audit what you tried, identify what went wrong, and build around your actual processes rather than forcing your team to adapt to a generic tool.
No. Data readiness is part of what the AI Readiness Assessment evaluates. We will tell you what your data situation means for your AI priorities and what, if anything, needs to be addressed before we build. In most cases, we can work with what you have and build around the gaps rather than waiting for a data cleanup project that never ends.
We sign NDAs before any discovery work begins. Every system we build uses encrypted infrastructure, access controls, and AI providers that do not train on your business data. We can work within your existing security and compliance requirements and we will tell you upfront if anything about your environment creates risk.
The AI Gameplan diagnostic is $5,000 for four weeks of discovery, assessment, and roadmap. Implementation engagements are scoped and priced during the Gameplan based on what we are building together. We bill month-to-month with discounts for longer commitments. The intro call is free. We will tell you straight if the numbers do not make sense for your business.
We will look at your operations, show you where AI can make the biggest impact, and give you a clear plan, whether you work with us or not.
