AI Automation Consulting & Development · Since 2014
Enterprise-grade AI automation.
Without the enterprise invoice.
The big consultancies won't return your call for less than $250K. We've spent twelve years building the same class of AI automations — deployed in weeks, priced from $1K to $50K, and measured by the only metric that matters: your P&L.

What we do
AI automation consulting
We find the automations that actually pay back — not a 200-slide strategy deck. Every engagement starts with your processes, your data, and a ranked list of ROI opportunities.
Automation builds
Twenty proven, revenue-impacting automation patterns — from support agents to invoice processing to lead scoring — adapted to your stack and deployed with a human in the loop. See all 20 →
Custom development
Full applications built by our AI development team — spec'd, built, tested, and shipped in hours, not months, with a QA-and-security gate on every single change. How it works →
The gap in the market is the whole point
Enterprise AI consulting starts at a quarter million dollars. Most businesses don't need a global consultancy — they need working automations with measurable returns. That's the segment we've served since 2014.
| Provider | Serves | Typical entry engagement |
|---|---|---|
| QuantumBlack (McKinsey), BCG X, Bain, Accenture, Deloitte | Fortune 500 & global enterprise | $500,000+ |
| IBM Consulting, PwC Engineering & AI | Regulated & large enterprise | $250,000+ |
| Mid-market boutiques (Neurons Lab, LeewayHertz) | Mid-market | $30,000 – $50,000+ |
| Typical boutique automation agencies | SMB / mid-market | $5,000 – $50,000 |
| Ignite Synergy | Growing businesses that want enterprise results | $1,000 – $50,000 |
How we work
Foundation & visibility
We map your data sources, process dependencies, and security boundaries, then set explicit criteria for what gets automated first — so nothing gets built that doesn't move a core business metric.
Direct-value pilots
High-ROI automations deployed in days, not quarters — CRM updates, ticket routing, invoice processing — with a human in the loop until output quality is proven.
Scale & orchestration
Winning pilots become governed, cross-department systems: agentic scaffolding that manages data access, enforces security boundaries, and monitors performance continuously.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AI automation consulting cost?
Enterprise consultancies like McKinsey, BCG, and Accenture start at $250,000–$500,000 per engagement. Ignite Synergy delivers the same class of AI automations in the $1,000–$50,000 range, with each engagement scoped to a measurable P&L return before we build.
How fast can you build a custom application?
Hours to days, not months. Our AI development team runs development cycles at 400X traditional speed — parallel AI builders write the code while independent AI reviewers on different models gate every change for quality and security.
Which AI automations have the best ROI?
Across industries, generative AI returns an average of $3.70 per $1 invested. The strongest patterns we deploy: customer support agents (12X cheaper per ticket), intelligent lead scoring (38% ROI), AP invoice processing (46% fewer errors), and personalized outbound email (44% efficiency gain).
Do you work with government and public sector organizations?
Yes. Our founder is a former state-government CIO, contributed to President Obama's 2010 report on cloud computing in the public sector, and led Public Sector Customer Engineering at Google. We build to HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 control families, including work for a federal victim-services program.
Is your development team really AI?
Yes — fourteen specialized AI agents covering delivery, code review, security testing, and QA, directed by our human founder who owns every engagement. Every change passes a QA and security gate reviewed by independent AI agents running on different models than the ones that wrote the code.
