AI consulting that ends in a working agent, not a deck
A mid-market company should get working AI agents from an AI consulting firm, not a strategy deck. Codivated starts with a $15,000, two-week First Agent Sprint that ends with a ranked plan and a first working agent.
What should an AI consulting engagement deliver?
Three things. If an engagement ends with only a roadmap, the hard part is still ahead of you.
A ranked list
Where AI pays off in your business, with the first agent to build marked.
A model of the return
Hours returned and revenue influenced, with the assumptions shown.
An agent in production
At least one agent working with your team using it.
How is a mid-market company different from an enterprise client?
Mid-market companies need both the plan and the build, from one team.
A company with 200 to 2,000 people usually has real volume and budget but a thin internal AI team. Large consulting firms are built for enterprise programs with long timelines. Freelancers can build a tool but rarely redesign the workflow around it.

Where should a $50M company start with AI?
Start with one workflow that repeats dozens of times a day, follows clear rules and costs money when it waits. Pick the measure before you build. Read where AI agents pay off first for the four workflows we look at first.
Order exceptions
Invoice matching
Inbound lead qualification
Customer follow-up
Why do AI pilots stall, and how do you avoid it?
What does the First Agent Sprint include?
Two weeks. Short interviews with your team and a review of your systems, an opportunity map that ranks your workflows by expected return, an ROI model, and a first working version of the top agent, running on real cases in practice mode. It costs $15,000 at a fixed price.

Which industries do you work with?
What happens after the sprint?
If the agent is earning its keep, we take it live, widen what it can do as your team trusts it, and keep it working through ongoing agent care, priced per agent. If not, you keep the opportunity map and ROI model and owe nothing more.
Common questions
Do you only do strategy, or do you build?
Both. The same team that ranks your opportunities builds the agents and keeps them running.
