Forward-deployed, not advisory.

Consultancies sell you a recommendation. We build the production system and operate it. Here’s the honest difference — including when a consultancy is the better call.

Side by side

The anti-positioning

To be fair: if your problem is enterprise-wide change management or board-level strategy across many functions, a large consultancy is built for that. Gigabit is the right call when you need a specific AI workflow shipped to production and kept running.

Compare FAQ

Gigabit vs consultancies, answered

How is Gigabit different from a management consultancy?

Consultancies sell advice: a strategy, a readiness assessment, a roadmap — billed by the hour, ending at a deck your team then has to build. Gigabit is forward-deployed: senior engineers embed in your stack, build the production AI system, and operate it. You get working software and an owned outcome, at a fixed price.

Do consultancies ever make more sense?

Yes. If you need enterprise-wide change management, board-level strategy across many functions, or vendor-neutral advisory, a large consultancy is built for that. Gigabit is the right call when you need a specific AI workflow actually shipped and kept running.

Is Gigabit cheaper than a consultancy?

Often, because you’re paying for a shipped system rather than hours of analysis — and our pricing is fixed and published. But the real difference is what you get for the spend: production software you own, not a recommendation.

Can Gigabit work alongside our existing consultancy?

Yes. We’re frequently the build-and-operate partner that turns a consultancy's strategy into a working production system.
