AI Consulting & Implementation for Service Businesses | NeuroPathmaker
Most businesses know they need AI. Very few know where to start.
NeuroPathmaker helps small and mid-size businesses identify where AI creates real operational value, then builds and deploys the systems to capture it. Strategy through implementation. No vendor lock-in. You own everything we build.
The AI market has a middle-market problem.
Enterprise consultants will not engage below $250K. Off-the-shelf tools cannot handle operational complexity. The majority of the market sits between those extremes, and that is where value is being left on the table.
The enterprise consultants aren't coming.
$250K+ pricing, Fortune 500 workflows, wrong fit for 5-50 employee businesses.
Off-the-shelf tools plateau fast.
Surface-level automation works until you need compliance, integrations, or custom workflows.
The real cost is inaction.
68% of SMBs explored AI, only 5% report meaningful ROI. The gap is implementation quality.
