The problem

The math behind the manual work

85%

Of AI projects fail to deliver on their promises. The usual root causes: poor data foundations, no implementation roadmap, and workflows that were never redesigned.

75%

Of 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, 2025
70%

Of AI scaling challenges are people-and-process problems, not technology: change management, workflow redesign, governance, and alignment.

Strategy and build, under one roof

Tiger 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.

01

AI audit for your business

2 weeks

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.

  • Full audit of current tools, workflows, and manual processes
  • Identification of highest-ROI automation and AI opportunities
  • Assessment of data readiness, integration requirements, and risk
  • Delivered in two weeks with a written findings report
02

AI readiness assessment and scorecard

2–3 weeks

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.

  • Scored across strategy, data, infrastructure, people, and governance
  • Benchmarked against businesses at a similar stage of AI maturity
  • Identifies the gaps most likely to derail implementation
  • Delivered with a prioritized remediation plan and implementation roadmap
03

AI strategy and implementation roadmap

3–4 weeks

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.

  • Prioritized use case roadmap tied to business outcomes
  • ROI model built on your actual data, not industry averages
  • Phased build sequence with clear milestones and owners
  • Presented to your leadership team with full Q&A
04

Done-for-you AI implementation

Scoped in the Gameplan

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.

  • Full technical build and integration handled by Tiger Tail
  • Your team trained and onboarded before handoff
  • Post-launch support and iteration included
  • You own everything we build, forever

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.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from a typical AI consultant who gives us a strategy deck?

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.

We have already tried AI tools and they did not stick. Why would this be different?

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.

Do we need to have our data cleaned up before we start?

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.

How do you handle data security and confidentiality?

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.

How much does it cost?

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.
