What we believe about this
AI Consultancies That Don't Build Can't Ship
If your AI partner doesn't build and maintain their own tools, they can't deliver production systems. Advisory without engineering is theater.
Thesis #9The 6-Month AI Implementation Is a Scam
Accenture charges $200K+ for 6-12 month AI implementations. NimbleBrain ships 8-12 production automations in 4 weeks for $50K. The timeline gap isn't complexity. It's business model.
