How can ML consulting help your business?
According to the 2025 MIT NANDA report, 95% of AI pilots fail to produce rapid revenue acceleration. Our job as a machine learning consultancy is to ensure your project is one of the lucky 5%.
Align your business and AI goals
Vague goals lead to endless PoCs with zero business impact. Our consultants help SMEs align AI with business goals. We start with one primary KPI, baseline it, and define kill criteria. To drive the adoption, we involve process owners in metric design, run user testing, provide training and playbooks.
Evaluate the AI readiness
Biased, sparse, mislabeled, or drifting data is another common reason for failure. Our engineers audit the readiness of your data (profiling, leakage checks, label QA) and existing systems. We provide data contracts, acceptance thresholds, and a remediation plan before modeling.
Design production-ready models
We design for prod on day one to cross the chasm between PoC and functioning AI. This includes API/microservice boundaries, contract tests, CI/CD, IaC, latency/cost budgets, and a deployment path.
Improve compliance & security
Our generative AI consultancy specializes in highly-regulated industries, such as healthcare. Prevent costly regulator-driven reworks/shutdowns with data minimization, de-ID, access controls, audit trails, explainability, and documented risk assessments.
Prevent model decay
Adopt reliable MLOps practices. Our consultants set quality, latency, and unit cost SLOs, monitor drift/performance, automate retraining, and maintain lineage/model cards.
Control costs
Inference, labeling, and frequent pivots often come with unexpected costs. MindK helps businesses control expenses with cost SLOs, model right-sizing, batching, and load simulation before committing.

FAQ
- Which business problems are a good fit for ML?
Good fit includes frequent, repetitive decisions with a measurable upside, enough data, moderate-to-high complexity, and realistic latency/cost SLOs.
Poor fit cases involve low-impact tasks, deterministic logic, scarce or low-quality data, or high-stakes decisions requiring formal explainability.
- How much will ML consulting cost, and what drives it?
The cost of AI projects ranges from $3k to $10k for discovery, $15k to $30k for a PoC, and $40k to $150k+ for enterprise–grade systems. The main cost drivers include data quality and labeling, the number and complexity of integrations, compliance (e.g., HIPAA adds 10–25%), latency/SLA targets, and whether new data pipelines are required.
- What data do we need to start, and what is “high quality”?
For supervised ML: 10k–50k+ labeled rows (problem-dependent); for time series: 12–24 months; for RAG: an indexed corpus of authoritative docs.
High quality means accurate labels, representative samples, low missingness/leakage, and recency. We run a readiness audit with acceptance thresholds.
- How will you integrate with our stack with minimal disruption?
Our gen AI consultants use API/SDK boundary with contract tests. We first go for read-only shadow, then perform canary rollout with feature flags, with rollback in seconds.
- How do you handle security, privacy, and compliance?
We employ least-privilege access, encryption in transit/at rest, DLP/redaction, audit trails, and model cards. For high-stakes use, our machine learning consultants add explainability and documented risk assessments, PHI de-identification, and access logs by role.
- Who owns the IP, models, and code? How do we avoid lock-in?
By default, you own code, configs, and models trained on your data; third-party licenses apply where relevant. We use portable standards (MLflow/DVC/ONNX), infrastructure-as-code, and provide an exit pack (artifacts and runbooks).
- When is LLM fine-tuning justified?
Fine-tuning is only justifiable if it beats a strong baseline on your gold tests (e.g., ≥10–20% accuracy/consistency lift). Our gen AI consulting company enforces unit-cost guardrails and right-size models to keep bills predictable.
