Services

Four ways to work
with Alvo

Every engagement starts with your business, not a template. The four services below reflect different starting points. Most clients begin with an Assess or Educate engagement and build from there.

01

Educate

Build a shared, accurate understanding of what AI can and can't do in your specific business, before you spend a dollar on tools or implementation.

Best for Leadership and operational teams who are hearing about AI constantly and want a clear, honest picture of what's relevant to them.

Most teams have absorbed a lot of AI noise. They've seen the demos, read the headlines and sat through a vendor presentation or two. What they don't have is a clear picture of what AI actually means for the way their business runs.

An Educate engagement cuts through that. It's not a generic AI overview. It's a structured session built around your industry, your workflows and the questions your team is already asking. You'll leave with shared clarity, not a reading list.

What's included
  • Industry-specific AI landscape session tailored to your business type
  • Practical tool overview covering what's proven, what's emerging and what's overhyped
  • Workflow mapping — where AI creates genuine time or cost advantage in your operations
  • Live Q&A structured around your team's real questions
  • Post-session summary with prioritised opportunities specific to your business
What changes
  • Your team has a shared, accurate view of what AI means for your business
  • Decision-makers can evaluate AI claims and vendor pitches with confidence
  • You know which moves are worth exploring and which ones aren't worth your time
  • The noise quiets down and a clear direction emerges
Format
Workshop or session seriesHalf-day or full-day, delivered in-person or remotely
Team size
Works for leadership teams of 3 through to larger operational groups of 20+

02

Assess

A structured audit of your current operations, tools and workflows. You'll leave with a clear picture of where AI creates commercial advantage and a ranked list of what to act on first.

Best for Boards, owners and senior leaders who want a clear, honest read on their AI position before committing to a direction.

Before investing in AI tools or strategy, you need an honest picture of where your business actually stands. Not a vendor's pitch. Not a framework applied from outside. A genuine read on your operations, your friction points and where AI creates real commercial leverage.

An Assess engagement gives you that. We work through your business systematically, map what's manual, what's duplicated and where time and money are leaking. Then we rank the opportunities by commercial impact and hand you a clear action list with the reasoning behind it.

What's included
  • Discovery sessions with key stakeholders across operations, leadership and front-line teams
  • Workflow audit mapping time, cost and friction across your core business processes
  • Current tool and technology review
  • AI opportunity identification ranked by commercial impact and implementation complexity
  • Written assessment report with prioritised recommendations and indicative ROI
  • Debrief session to walk through findings and answer questions
What changes
  • You know exactly where AI creates advantage in your specific business
  • Opportunities are ranked so you know what to act on first
  • You have a documented baseline to measure progress against
  • Board and leadership have a clear, evidence-based picture to make decisions from
Format
Structured engagementTypically two to four weeks from kick-off to final report
Deliverable
Written assessment report plus a debrief session. Clear, plain-language findings, not a 60-page PDF.

Most clients find the Assess report pays for itself in the first decision it informs.

Partner

Ongoing advisory for businesses that want a clear, experienced head in their corner as they move through AI implementation. We work with your team, not around it.

Best for Leadership teams that are actively making AI decisions and want consistent, industry-specific advice without hiring a full-time head of AI.

AI decisions compound. A tool chosen early shapes what's possible later. A workflow built without proper thought creates debt that's expensive to unwind. Most businesses making AI decisions right now are doing it without anyone in the room who has done it before in their industry.

A Partner engagement puts that experience in your corner on an ongoing basis. We're available for decisions as they arise, working sessions when you need to think something through and honest input when a vendor is pitching you something that doesn't add up.

What's included
  • Regular advisory sessions scheduled around your cadence
  • On-call input for time-sensitive decisions and vendor evaluations
  • Ongoing workflow and implementation review as your AI stack develops
  • Team check-ins to monitor adoption and surface what's working
  • Access to Alvo's tool and vendor knowledge base for your industry
  • Quarterly strategy review aligned to your business objectives
What changes
  • Decisions get made faster and with more confidence
  • Your team isn't navigating vendor noise alone
  • AI investments compound rather than drift
  • You have a consistent point of view applied to every AI decision your business makes
Format
Retained advisoryMonthly or quarterly engagement, structured around your decision cadence
Commitment
Minimum three-month engagements. Most partnerships run six to twelve months as the AI strategy matures.

Build

From workflow design to AI-native product development. For businesses that have a clear direction and need an experienced team to help them build it properly.

Best for Established teams or founders who know what they want to build and need Alvo's expertise in AI design, workflow architecture or product development to execute it.

Some businesses are past the strategy phase. They know what they want to build. They need someone who can work alongside their team to design it properly, build it to a standard and make sure it actually gets adopted.

A Build engagement is hands-on. We're in the work with you, not advising from a distance. Whether that's designing and deploying an AI-assisted workflow, building internal tools that reduce operational overhead or developing an AI-native product from the ground up, we bring the same commercial focus we apply to every engagement.

What's included
  • Scoping and architecture sessions to define what's being built and how
  • Workflow design and process documentation
  • AI tool selection, configuration and integration
  • Hands-on build sprints with embedded Alvo involvement
  • Testing and iteration with your team before full rollout
  • Training and handover so your team owns what's been built
  • Post-launch review to measure adoption and commercial impact
What changes
  • Something real gets built and used, not planned and shelved
  • Your team has ownership of a tool or workflow built around how they actually work
  • Time and cost savings are measurable from day one of deployment
  • You have a foundation to build further AI capability on top of
Format
Project-based or embeddedScoped per engagement based on what's being built
Starting point
Build engagements typically follow an Assess. If you already have a clear brief, we can scope directly from that.
