Okay so, you're probably on this page because you're in Denver and you've heard all the noise about AI. Maybe you're wondering if it's something that could actually help your business, or if it's just another tech fad. Most folks I talk to are kinda overwhelmed by it all, and frankly, a lot of the 'consultants' out there don't make it any clearer.
I’m not a big agency with a fancy sales team. It's just me. I don't pretend to have a 'secret sauce' or 'proprietary framework.' What I do have is a lot of experience figuring out how to make AI work in real-world business settings, especially for small to medium-sized businesses that don't have a giant tech budget or a dedicated data science department. I focus on practical applications that move the needle, not just cool demos.
## What I actually do for Denver clients
Mostly, I help businesses in Denver identify specific problems that AI can genuinely solve, and then I build or implement those solutions. Think less 'transform your entire company' and more 'automate that one soul-crushing spreadsheet process' or 'build a model that predicts inventory needs a bit better.' A typical project might involve setting up a pilot program to test an AI tool for customer service, or developing a custom automation that integrates with your existing software to save hours every week.
I'm good at taking a fuzzy idea and turning it into something concrete. For example, I've helped local Denver businesses automate report generation, analyze customer feedback more effectively, and even streamline their internal documentation using AI. The goal is always to deliver something that provides a clear return on investment, not just a proof-of-concept that gathers dust.
## How a Denver engagement usually goes
1. **Initial Chat & Discovery (1-2 weeks):** We start with a free 20-minute call to see if there's even a potential fit. If there is, I then spend a week or two really digging into your operations. I'll ask a lot of questions about your processes, your data, and your biggest headaches. This isn't a sales pitch; it's me trying to genuinely understand your business so I can tell you if AI can actually help, and if I'm the right person for it. I'll summarize my findings and propose a specific, actionable project.
2. **Project Definition & Planning (1 week):** Once we agree on a project, we spend about a week nailing down the exact scope, deliverables, and success metrics. This is where we define what 'done' looks like and what kind of results you can expect. I'll outline the steps I'll take and the resources I'll need from your side.
3. **Execution & Development (4-12 weeks):** This is where I get to work. I'll be building, configuring, and integrating the AI solution. I keep you updated regularly, usually with weekly check-ins, so you're always in the loop. This phase varies a lot in length depending on the complexity, but I'm always aiming for efficient progress.
4. **Deployment & Handoff (1-2 weeks):** After development, we'll deploy the solution and make sure it's working as intended. I'll also provide documentation and any necessary training for your team so you can confidently use and maintain what I've built. My goal is to make sure you're self-sufficient, not reliant on me indefinitely.
## What it costs, roughly
I don't bill by the hour much anymore; I prefer fixed-fee projects. It keeps things transparent and predictable for both of us. Most of my projects for Denver clients fall somewhere in the low to mid five-figure range. A smaller, focused automation might be on the lower end, while a more involved data analysis model could be higher. I'll give you a clear, upfront quote after our discovery phase, so you'll know exactly what to expect before we start any actual work. No surprises.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm not gonna pretend I'm for everyone. I'm probably not the right choice if you're a massive enterprise needing dozens of consultants and a year-long strategic roadmap. I also don't do 'AI for AI's sake' – if you don't have a clear business problem that AI can solve, or if your data is a complete mess with no way to clean it up, then I'll probably tell you that upfront. I also tend to work best with businesses that are willing to be involved in the process, not just hand off a problem and expect magic. Honesty, I'm just one person, and I focus on delivering tangible results for businesses who are ready to make a change.
## Getting in touch
If any of this sounds like what your Denver business needs, I'd genuinely like to hear from you. The best way to start is to book a 20-min call. It's just a quick chat to see if there's a good fit, no pressure, no sales pitch. Let's talk about what's on your mind and see if I can help. You can find my calendar link right on my website. I look forward to connecting with you.
FAQs — Denver
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Denver business?
The best way to figure this out is to identify a specific, time-consuming, or error-prone task in your business. If there's a pattern to that task, or if it involves data, there's a good chance AI could help. We can explore this together in our initial chat.
Do you work with companies outside Denver?
While I enjoy working with local businesses in Colorado, I do take on remote projects for clients outside of Denver as well. The process and approach remain the same, regardless of location.
What does the first 2 weeks look like after I decide to work with you?
After our initial screening call, the first two weeks typically involve a deeper discovery phase where I immerse myself in understanding your specific business challenges and processes to pinpoint where AI can genuinely add value. This leads to a clear project proposal.
What kind of data do I need for AI to work?
Generally, you need data that is relevant to the problem you're trying to solve, and ideally, it should be reasonably clean and structured. Don't worry if it's not perfect; part of my job is to assess your data and guide you on what's needed.
Is my business too small for AI consulting?
Absolutely not. Many of my clients are small to medium-sized businesses in Denver looking for practical improvements, not massive overhauls. AI can offer significant benefits even on a small scale.
