Scoped AI work for operators

Strategy is the first week, not the whole engagement. Most clients should leave with a tested workflow or a documented reason not to build one.

Typical First Questions

  • Can purchase history be reconciled across projects so like-for-like items and residual price gaps are visible?
  • Can each tender clause be tied to an approved answer, an owner and a source?
  • Can supplier and component evidence be reused without treating a questionnaire as a certificate?
  • Is the current tool already good enough, so a model would add cost and no quality?

These describe method and not claims about a named current client. If none of these is the real problem, we will say so.

What a first engagement is

A diagnostic on one process, one data family, and named owners. Then a read-only working method if the diagnostic supports it. Production only after quality, an internal owner and an approved environment. We do not sell a company-wide transformation as the first invoice.

Discuss a scoped engagement

What you leave with:

  • A written go / no-go on one process
  • The rules baseline and whether a model beat it
  • Opportunity cards or an evidence register linked to source records, if we build
  • Acceptance tests and a named internal owner
  • A statement of work for the next step — or a documented stop

Discuss a scoped engagement

The Sprint is a strategy assessment. A custom diagnostic or pilot is a different statement of work. It is not the Sprint at a discount.

Why Nexus AI Advisory

Business Transformation Excellence

Proven Frameworks

Our proprietary AI Maturity Matrix, Value Bridge Framework, and "Know Your Data" (KYD) methodology have guided dozens of successful transformations

Five roles, one accountable lead

You work with Dr Syrigos as the engagement owner. Athanasios Serafeim owns commercial delivery. Prof Fakotakis owns method. Lucie Loiseau owns data governance. Dimitris Vrachnos owns adoption. Partners are named when the work needs production engineering or sector assurance.

Typical path:

Diagnostic

Two to three weeks after data access. One process, one data family, named owners. Rules baseline, bounded sample, written go / no-go. A no-go is a successful result if the current tool already works.

Read-only pilot

Eight to twelve elapsed weeks if the diagnostic supports it. Opportunity cards or an evidence register linked to source records. Held-out tests. No write-back to ERP, no automatic purchase order, award or bid submission.

Production

Only after quality holds, an internal owner exists, and the environment is approved. Partnered where the build needs enterprise engineering or sector assurance.

What makes NExus AI Advisory different from other AI consultants?

We sell scoped work with an owner and a stop-gate. Rules and source records first. Models only where they beat that baseline. We do not lead with a course or a chatbot.

What if we're just starting to explore AI?

Then the first product is the published Readiness Sprint, or a discovery call to see whether a diagnostic is even justified. We will not start with a six-month transformation.

How long does a typical engagement last?

A diagnostic is two to three weeks after data access. A read-only pilot is eight to twelve elapsed weeks if the diagnostic supports it. Production is a separate decision.

How do you charge - fixed price or retainer?

The Sprint is a published fixed range. Custom diagnostics and pilots are fixed in a statement of work. Larger retainers exist; they are not the default first invoice.

Do you only consult, or do you help with implementation?

We lead discovery, design, evaluation and coordination. We implement bounded workflows when scope, data access and acceptance tests are written down. We do not claim to be a notified body or a 24/7 incident team. That is contracted separately.

Can you work with our existing technology team?

Yes. The internal owner stays accountable. We do not replace your system of record.

What industries do you serve?

European and international operators. We do not publish a sector badge we have not earned in public.

What's included in the "satisfaction guarantee"?

Phase 1 refund terms apply only to the advertised Readiness Assessment or Sprint, on the published conditions. Custom pilots use a delivery holdback against written tests, typically 20% until acceptance. That is not a savings guarantee.

If this is the right next step

If you have one process, a named owner and a question that can fail, we will take a discovery call. We do not open with a company-wide transformation.

Schedule your complimentary 30-minute discovery call to discuss your specific challenges and determine if we're the right fit.
