AI Consulting & Solutioning · Fractional CTO · Product Strategy

Put AI to work where it actually pays off.

ANB Solutions helps organizations find where AI changes the economics of their operation — then designs, builds, and ships it. Not demos. Deployed systems that cut cost and compound.

Every business now faces the same question: where does AI actually pay off here? We answer it with a plan, then build the proof.

What we do

Four ways we plug in, scoped to where you are.

AI Consulting & Solutioning

From "where do we even start" to a scoped, costed AI roadmap: use-case discovery, build-vs-buy calls, and the architecture to run it in production.

AI & Automation Delivery

Agentic workflows, back-office automation, and the MLOps foundation to run them — designed, built, and shipped to production.

Technology Leadership

Fractional and interim CTO leadership: roadmap, architecture, hiring, and the operating cadence that ships dependably.

Product Strategy & Diligence

Turn repeatable services into products that scale — and get a technical read on codebases, teams, and contracts before you commit.

Engagements

Fixed scope. Defined outcomes. Buy what you need.

A short diagnostic gives you a clear picture and a prioritized plan. From there, we build the fix or step in to run it.

Tier 01DiagnoseWeeks, not quarters
AI Opportunity Audit

A two-week diagnostic: map your workflows, rank every AI opportunity by ROI, and leave with a prioritized, costed AI plan.

Productization Readiness Audit

Which of your repeatable services can become a product? We map delivery patterns and find the wedge.

Scale Readiness Review (1→5)

Your product works for a few customers. We pressure-test architecture, data, and team for the next phase of growth.

Diligence & Contract Review

Technical due diligence for buyers, sellers, and investors — plus a technical read of SOWs and MSAs before you sign.

Tier 02BuildWeeks to months
Services-to-Product Roadmap

Turn your best delivery playbook into a product spec, an MVP scope, and a costed build plan your team can execute.

Product & Platform Strategy

Position, package, and price the product, and define the architecture and integrations to support scale.

DevOps & Delivery Automation

Stand up CI/CD, observability, and a release practice that supports multiple deploys per day.

AI & Workflow Automation

From agentic QA to back-office workflows: build automation and the MLOps foundation to run it in production.

Tier 03EmbedOngoing retainer
Fractional / Interim CTO

Embedded technical leadership: owning the roadmap, architecture decisions, hiring, and the team's operating cadence.

Engineering Org & Hiring Plan

Design the team structure, roles, and leadership cadence that scale a group from scrappy to dependable.

Engagements run from focused two-week diagnostics to one- to three-month builds. Pricing is scoped to the work, so let's talk about where you are.

How we work

Start small. Prove value fast. Scale the engagement.

01 / Diagnose

See clearly

A fixed-scope assessment that gives you an honest picture and a prioritized plan of work.

02 / Plan

Agree the path

A roadmap your engineers and your leadership can both act on, with the tradeoffs and timelines made explicit.

03 / Build & Embed

Make it stick

We help execute, or step in as embedded leadership, until the new approach runs independently.
