Hey Davie — I get it, you're probably scrolling through a bunch of city-specific landing pages right now, all promising the moon with AI. Well, this isn't that. I'm A.I. Consulting LLC, just me, and I'm based here in Florida. I help businesses like yours figure out if machine learning or data science can actually move the needle for them, without all the jargon and expense of a big firm. My approach is pretty straightforward: let's see what works, what doesn't, and then build something useful. No huge commitments upfront, just practical steps.
I know what it's like running a business, the last thing you need is a vendor promising the world and delivering a headache. So, if you're a business owner in Davie, or even nearby, and you've been curious about how machine learning or just plain smart data analysis could help, stick around. I'm gonna tell you exactly how I work, what it costs, and who I'm a good fit for.
No big promises here, just an honest conversation about what's possible with your data and a bit of intelligent automation. I'm not gonna try and sell you a 'digital transformation journey,' just help you solve a specific problem with code and data.
## What I actually do for Davie clients
Okay so, when a Davie business comes to me, they usually have a specific pain point or a hunch that their data could be doing more. I don't just parachute in with some pre-packaged solution. Instead, I focus on building custom, practical tools. This might look like setting up a simple predictive model to forecast sales more accurately, or maybe automating a tedious data entry process that's eating up too much of your team's time. I've also helped folks build dashboards that actually make sense of their customer data, helping them spot trends they were missing before.
Think of it this way: if you're drowning in spreadsheets and making decisions based on gut feelings, I can help you find clarity. Or, if you have a repetitive task that could clearly be handled by a computer, I'll build you something that does it. It's about finding those specific, impactful areas where a little bit of machine learning or data science can make a big difference, without having to overhaul your entire operation. I'm not here to suggest you replace your whole team with robots; I'm here to give your team better tools.
## How a Davie engagement usually goes
1. **Initial Chat (1 week):** We start with a free, no-pressure 20-minute call. Then, if it feels like a good fit, I'll send over a simple questionnaire to understand your business and data a bit better. This usually leads to a deeper, 60-minute discussion where we really dig into your problem and explore potential solutions. I'll ask about your goals, your current process, and what data you actually have lying around.
2. **Pilot Project Proposal (1-2 weeks):** After that deeper dive, I'll put together a proposal for a small, fixed-scope pilot project. This isn't a huge, open-ended commitment. It's designed to be a quick, low-risk way to test if a machine learning or data science approach actually works for your specific problem. It'll have clear deliverables and a fixed price, so you know exactly what you're getting.
3. **Pilot Execution (4-8 weeks):** If you like the pilot proposal, I get to work. During this phase, I'll build out the initial model or data automation, test it, and present the results. We'll have regular check-ins, usually weekly, to make sure we're on the right track and to gather your feedback. The goal here is to prove the concept and demonstrate real value within a manageable timeframe.
4. **Review & Next Steps (1 week):** Once the pilot is complete, we'll review the outcomes. We'll look at what worked, what didn't, and what the actual ROI looks like. From there, we can decide if it makes sense to scale up the solution, tackle another problem, or just call it a win for now. No pressure to continue if the pilot didn't deliver the value we hoped for, which is why we do pilots!
## What it costs, roughly
Look, I know cost is always a big question. For those initial pilot projects I mentioned, they usually fall in the range of a few thousand dollars up to mid-five figures. It really depends on the complexity of the problem and the amount of data we're dealing with. I almost always work on a fixed-fee basis for defined projects, so you won't get any surprise invoices. I'm not a fan of open-ended hourly billing because nobody wants that uncertainty. For longer-term or more involved projects, we can discuss ongoing retainer options, but we'd only get there after a successful pilot. I aim to provide clear value that far outweighs the investment.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not for everyone. If you're a massive corporation looking for a team of 50 consultants to overhaul your entire global infrastructure, I'm probably not your guy. I also tend to work best with businesses that have at least some data already available, even if it's messy. If you're starting completely from scratch with no digital footprint, we might need to get some foundational stuff in place first. And if you're expecting magic solutions overnight with zero effort on your part, well, that's not how machine learning or data science works. It takes a bit of collaboration and realistic expectations. I really value working with folks who are engaged and understand that these projects are a partnership, not just a service they're buying.

FAQs — Davie
How do I know if AI is worth it for my Davie business?
The best way to figure this out is to identify a specific, repetitive task or a decision point where you're currently guessing or spending too much time. If you can clearly articulate a problem, chances are AI or data science could offer a more efficient solution. We can explore this during our initial chat.
Do you work with companies outside Davie?
Yes, absolutely! While I'm focused on serving the local Davie community, I also work with businesses across Florida and even remotely nationwide. The principles of good data science and machine learning apply universally.
What does the first 2 weeks look like after our initial call?
After our initial 20-minute chat, if we both feel there's a good fit, I'll send over a brief questionnaire. Then, we'll schedule a deeper 60-minute discovery call to really understand your business and data, which will lead to a pilot project proposal.
Is my data safe and confidential with you?
Absolutely. I take data privacy and confidentiality very seriously. All engagements include a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect your business information, and I adhere to strict security protocols for any data I handle.
What if a pilot project doesn't yield the expected results?
That's why we do pilots! The goal of a pilot is to test a hypothesis with minimal risk. If it doesn't meet expectations, we'll review why, learn from it, and you're under no obligation to continue. The investment is contained to that pilot.
