Why companies choose us over national firms
Detroit has no shortage of national consulting and advisory firms. But when it comes to AI governance, those firms typically offer:
- Rotating junior staff executing work the partner sold
- Industry teams that are strong on traditional audit but still building AI governance capabilities
- Engagement minimums that exclude mid-market companies
- Hourly billing that turns a 4-week project into a 12-week invoice
We offer the same scope of services, delivered by the people who sold the engagement, at fixed prices, in less time. We have built LLMs from scratch and published AI research in Science and ACL. This is deep domain expertise, not a practice area that was spun up last year.
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle automotive AI governance specifically?
Yes. Automotive AI systems — ADAS, autonomous driving, manufacturing robots, supply chain AI — face a unique regulatory intersection including UN R157, ISO/SAE 21434, CMMC, and the EU AI Act. We assess these systems with both technical depth (we've built AI systems) and compliance breadth (CPA, CIPP, Certified AI Auditor).
Do you work with defense contractors in Southeast Michigan?
Yes. CMMC compliance, combined with AI governance for defense applications, is a growing need across the Southeast Michigan defense corridor. We handle CMMC alongside broader compliance frameworks.
How do you compare on price to national firms?
Our fixed-fee engagements typically run 40-70% below equivalent national firm pricing, delivered in one-third the time. A technology due diligence sprint that costs $150K+ at a large firm runs $30K-$80K with us, delivered in 1-2 weeks.
Ready to work with a different kind of firm?
One that combines AI building experience, published research, and compliance credentials in a single team — at a price that makes sense for companies of every size.
