AI Strategy & Execution for Mid-Market

From AI Strategy
to Scaled Implementation

We start with data, not decks. PathForge delivers phased AI roadmaps with execution continuity — so your strategy doesn't die in PowerPoint.

Enterprise-grade strategy for mid-market companies. 40–60% less than Big 4 firms. First value in weeks, not months.

$2T in AI spending by 2026
85% of companies can't quantify the impact. Most initiatives fail at scale due to poor data readiness and implementation discontinuity.
Enterprise strategy. 60% less cost.
Mid-market companies abandon Big 4 firms ($500K–$10M engagements) for boutique partners who deliver measurable value in weeks.

Most AI initiatives fail. Not because of bad strategy — because nobody owns what happens next.

85%

Can't Quantify AI Impact

Most firms generate decks and frameworks. Nobody measures the financial return — or builds governance to sustain it.

Big 4 Price, Junior Delivery

Traditional consulting charges half a million but sends junior analysts. Pyramid model is broken — the automation they sell has disrupted their own talent.

6–12mo

Strategy to Shelfware

Big 4 engagements take 6–12 months. The consultant leaves, the deck goes in a drawer, and nothing changes. Implementation discontinuity kills AI programs.

Strategy with execution built in.

No open-ended retainers. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, measurable outcomes at every tier.

The mid-market was stuck between two bad options. Now there's a third.

Big 4 Consulting
Cost
$500K–$10M+
Timeline
6–12+ months
Delivery
Junior analysts run by partners who sell, don't build
After the deck
They leave. Nothing gets implemented.
PathForge
Cost
$2.5K–$25K (or $5–10K/mo)
Timeline
2–8 weeks to first value
Delivery
Senior strategists who've built and scaled AI systems
After the deck
We stay through implementation. Capability transfers to your team.
Boutique Niche Firms
Cost
$75K–$500K
Timeline
4–12 weeks
Delivery
Either pure strategy (decks) or pure tech (code). Rarely both.
After the deck
Limited implementation support. You're on your own.

Data first. Roadmap second. Execution always.

01

Diagnose

We audit your data, systems, and organizational readiness. No assumptions. We find the gaps that kill AI initiatives before they scale — and quantify the financial impact.

02

Design

We build a phased roadmap with realistic timelines, clear ownership, and governance built in from day one. Every initiative has an ROI projection and a path to production.

03

Deliver

We don't hand off a deck and disappear. We guide your first pilots through implementation, transfer capability to your team, and iterate the roadmap as you learn.
