How a London AI Consultancy Should Actually Work
Most firms stop at the slide deck. We keep going until it ships. Four steps from 'where do we start?' to 'it's in production
Discovery
Two-hour workshop with your team. We map your workflows, your data, your P&L levers. Output: a ranked shortlist of AI use cases with expected hours saved and revenue impact.
Rapid Value Scan
Two week paid assessment. We validate the top use case against your actual systems. Output: one working proof-of-concept plus a costed build pipeline. You can walk away after this.
Build
4–12 week fixed-fee build sprint. Weekly demos. You see the product running in your environment before you sign off. No time-and-materials, no scope creep.
Support
Post-launch iteration, team training, and expansion into adjacent use cases. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer because AI products need iteration - the first version is just the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AI consultancy in the UK?
Depends on scope and stage. Big four firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, PwC) lead on slide-deck strategy for FTSE 100 companies. Boutique consultancies like Faculty and Peak AI specialise in enterprise data science. Goodspeed sits in a distinct category: AI consultancy and engineering delivery for mid-market, PE-backed, and emerging enterprise buyers. Rated 5.0 on Clutch with 200+ AI products shipped since 2022.
What is the difference between a UK AI consultancy and an AI agency?
A UK AI consultancy diagnoses where AI creates value and recommends what to build. An AI agency builds it. Goodspeed does both under one roof, which removes the typical handoff problem where the strategy firm and the build firm never speak again after kickoff.
Do UK AI consultancies work with SMEs and Series A to C companies?
Most do not. Big four UK AI consultancies have minimum fees in the hundreds of thousands. Goodspeed starts at £10k for a Rapid Value Scan and actively works with UK SMEs, Series A to C companies, and PE-backed portfolio companies. The smaller the team, the more an AI consultant should be focused on shipping, not slides.
Do I actually need a UK AI consultant?
If you already know what to build and just need engineers, you need a dev shop. If you know AI should be creating value somewhere in your business but you are not sure where, you need an AI consultancy. If you want both from the same team, that is us. The £10k Rapid Value Scan exists for exactly this question.
How much does a UK AI consultancy cost?
At Goodspeed, a Rapid Value Scan is £10k for a two-week engagement. A typical Build Sprint is £60k to £180k for a 4 to 12 week fixed-fee build. Monthly retainers start at £10k per month. Big four UK AI consultancies typically charge 5 to 10x these numbers for strategy alone, without shipping code.
