A method built for measurable outcomes
Four phases, clear timelines, and an ROI model before any build begins. Here is exactly what working with i12ai looks like.
How does i12ai run an AI transformation engagement?
Every i12ai engagement follows a four-phase method: Discover, Design, Deploy, Optimise. We start from concrete use cases rather than abstract initiatives, define success metrics before building, deploy with human oversight, and hand over solutions your team can maintain independently. A first production deployment typically goes live within 6 to 12 weeks.
Discover. Design. Deploy. Optimise.
Discover
We analyse your operations, identify bottlenecks, and map where AI can drive the highest impact. No abstract initiatives, only concrete use cases. You leave this phase with a prioritised opportunity map.
Design
We architect solutions that fit your existing stack, define clear workflows, and establish success metrics before writing a single line of code. The ROI model is built here, so projected payback is visible before you commit to a build.
Deploy
We build, integrate, and launch with proper testing, validation, and human oversight — confidence thresholds, escalation paths and audit trails included. AI becomes another tool in your stack, visible and controllable.
Optimise
We measure results against the metrics set in Design, refine prompts, add guardrails, and continuously improve. Your team learns to maintain and evolve the solutions independently.
What to expect, when
Typical durations by service line. Scope and integration complexity move these in both directions — we confirm a timeline during Discovery before work begins.
AI Strategy Consulting
A typical strategy engagement runs 4–6 weeks: opportunity mapping, use-case prioritisation, ROI modelling and a 12-month roadmap your board can fund and your team can execute.
Explore AI strategy →AI Implementation
A first production deployment typically goes live within 6–12 weeks, from proof of concept through integration, testing and handover — inside your existing systems.
Explore AI implementation →SEO Audit
A full technical and on-page audit, scored across ten categories including GEO and AEO readiness, is delivered in 5–10 business days with a phased action plan.
Explore the SEO audit →GEO & AEO
GEO foundations (schema, llms.txt, entity signals) are typically live within 2–4 weeks; citation improvements usually appear over one to three months as AI engines revisit.

Cost depends on scope, and we keep the commitment ladder deliberately gradual:
- Start free. The AI Readiness Assessment is a self-serve tool that scores your organisation across strategy, data, team and technology in three minutes. No commitment, no sales call required.
- Strategy is priced per roadmap. A fixed engagement with defined deliverables: opportunity map, prioritised use cases, ROI model and a board-ready business case.
- Implementation is priced per use case. Pricing reflects integration complexity — how many systems we touch, how much data plumbing is needed, and the level of oversight the workflow requires.
- ROI before build. We build an ROI model before any build begins, so you see projected payback before committing. If the numbers don't work, we tell you.
Engagements run standalone or as a combined AI transformation programme. Ask us for a scoped proposal — we reply within one business day.
Working with i12ai: common questions
How long does an AI transformation engagement take?
It depends on the service line. A strategy engagement typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. A first production deployment typically goes live within 6 to 12 weeks. An SEO audit takes 5 to 10 business days, and GEO foundations are usually live within 2 to 4 weeks. Multi-department programmes run longer.
How does i12ai price its work?
Cost depends on scope. An AI readiness assessment is the lowest-commitment starting point. Strategy engagements are priced per roadmap; implementation is priced per use case and integration complexity. We build an ROI model before any build begins, so you see projected payback before committing.
Do we need to commit to a full programme up front?
No. Every service line runs standalone. Many clients start with the free AI Readiness Assessment or an SEO audit, then expand into strategy or implementation once the first engagement has proven its value.
Who from our side needs to be involved?
Discovery needs the people who own the process being improved plus a decision-maker. After that, we keep your time investment low: structured check-ins during design and build, then hands-on involvement again at testing and handover so your team can run the solution independently.
