Beyond ChatGPT: the deployment gap.
You've tried the tools. Now you need them inside real workflows, connected to real data.
AI WORKFLOW AUDIT
AI workflow automation that saves your team 10+ hours a week.
Start with a free 2-minute diagnostic, then use a senior-led AI Workflow Audit to prioritize and ship the right automation. Built by a VP-level engineer with 25 years in enterprise software.

THE PROBLEM
Every company is "doing AI." Almost none are compounding from it.
Individual ChatGPT subscriptions aren't a strategy. Consultancy decks full of "transformation frameworks" don't ship. Most teams are stuck between playing with AI and actually deploying it — and every quarter they wait, the gap to competitors that figured it out gets wider.
Three months is too long. Your quarter isn't waiting.
Traditional consulting quotes 90-day discovery. Real AI delivery happens in weeks, not fiscal periods.
The silent cost of repetitive work.
Your team isn't complaining — they've adapted. That's exactly why it's invisible on the P&L.
THE APPROACH
Engineering-led AI, delivered by someone who's shipped production systems for 25 years.
Most AI consulting is a PowerPoint with a Gantt chart. Unlocked Consulting is different: a senior engineer audits your workflows, identifies the highest-ROI automation candidates, and ships working systems in weeks. No discovery theater. No strategy decks that never become code.
Audit, don't assume.
Every engagement starts with a concrete map of where your team's time is actually leaking — not a generic framework.
Weeks, not quarters.
Automations ship in 2–6 week sprints. If it takes longer, the scope was wrong — we'll tell you that too.
Built to hand off.
Your team owns everything we build. No lock-in, no ongoing retainer required, no black boxes.

HOW IT WORKS
A three-step path from "we should use AI" to "we're using AI"
Short engagements. Concrete outputs at each step. No surprises on scope or cost.
01
Identify the leaks.
We audit your workflows and find the highest-volume repetitive work your team has stopped noticing. This is the AI Workflow Audit.
02
Design the right system.
Not every process deserves AI. We pick the 1–2 with real ROI and sketch the architecture — LLMs, retrieval, integrations, guardrails.
03
Ship it. Hand it off.
We build, deploy, and document. Your team owns the system. We're gone in 4–6 weeks with a handoff that actually works.

What is AI workflow automation?
AI workflow automation connects AI models to the systems, data, and approval steps your team already uses. It is designed to reduce repetitive work while keeping the right human review and operational guardrails in place.
How does the free diagnostic differ from the AI Workflow Audit?
The free diagnostic takes about two minutes and helps surface where time may be leaking. The paid AI Workflow Audit is a two-week engagement that prioritizes 5–10 automation candidates by ROI and estimates implementation effort.
How long does an AI automation project take?
A scoped AI Automation Sprint typically takes 4–6 weeks. AI knowledge base engagements are typically live in 3–5 weeks, depending on content, integrations, and review requirements.
Who owns the AI system after delivery?
Your team owns everything Unlocked Consulting builds. Systems are delivered on your stack with handoff documentation, without proprietary platform lock-in or a required ongoing retainer.
Where does Unlocked Consulting work?
Unlocked Consulting is based in Munich and works with clients across Europe and the United States.
