If you’re reading this, you already saw the viral MIT report about how only 5% of enterprise AI projects are successful. At Kelsus, I guess we’ve been lucky five-percenters. Our projects are working well not just for our clients but also internally for ourselves.
We’ve automated:
Invoice creation and time tracking for ourselves.
HIPAA-compliant email attachment processing for a health care client.
AI-SEO discoverability for a travel industry client.
We’ve noticed:
Our clients keep asking to put their own developers on our teams hoping that our skills will rub off on them.
Top AI companies like Open AI and DataBricks are charging wild rates for forward deployed AI engineers, and then quietly calling us and asking if we’d be willing to subcontract for them.
Transformation is a team sport
Well, the thing about pilots is that they don’t succeed when you send a solo smart developer out into an enterprise and say “go.” They succeed when you get a whole team aligned on a vision and work together.
Teamwork has always been our secret weapon, so we’re offering forward deployed engineering teams with a goal of AI-enablement for your team.
Our offer
At $50,000/month per forward deployed team, we’ve priced this well below what the BigCos are asking, but also in such a way that we are compensated for the valuable assets we’ll be creating at your company.
Our process
Pick a team
Part of this process will be applying our tech, business, and soft skill standards to your team so that we can make sure we have a group of people capable of leading the charge. You can read more about how we evaluate soft skills here (tldr; teamwork, follow-through, communication, learning, and flexible mindset):
Plan together, implement, iterate
With that team selected, we’ll do some planning together to choose the highest ROI thing that we can build and deploy effectively in your organization. That project will then act as the template for which your team will take over and run the next project.
Level up
Along the way, we’ll also teach your team about
identifying automatable processes
effective architectures for AI automation, and
tricks for dealing with LLMs that like to misbehave.
This is the basic outline. The real plan will be customized to your company’s needs.

As a services company, we’re obviously willing to structure this in the way that will make it most effective for you.
