Tool first
A tool is not a strategy
A chatbot subscription or a one-off automation does not change how the company runs. Without a roadmap tied to your P&L, AI stays a demo.
Services // AI consulting
AI consulting for operating companies in Boston and across Massachusetts.
For owners who know AI should be doing more in their business and are tired of vendors who sell a tool instead of a result.
We start with your real systems and your real numbers, not a slide deck. The Automation Blueprint maps where money and hours leak, ranks what to fix first, and prices it. Then we build it, and we stay on as your AI Chief so it keeps paying off.
Based in Boston, Massachusetts. Serving Greater Boston in person and operators nationwide remotely.
What is AI consulting at Omadli Group?
AI consulting at Omadli Group is a three-phase engagement that turns a construction or trade company's existing software into one machine-readable operation. Phase 1, the Automation Blueprint, connects read-only to systems such as Sage, BuildOps, Procore, and QuickBooks, traces the money through recently closed jobs, and delivers a ranked roadmap with fixed scope and prices, starting at $5,000 per scope. Phase 2 builds what the Blueprint ranked first: Power BI or AWS QuickSight dashboards, workflow automations, and AI agents such as Vickie and Farmon, with a dashboard going live in about 18 days on average. Phase 3, the Operations Partnership, keeps Omadli Group on as fractional AI leadership month to month. The firm is based in Boston, Massachusetts, is led by Zulfiya Forsythe, CPA, and is a Massachusetts certified Woman-Owned Business. On one client's open jobs, the first data pass identified $1,055,524 of spending with no budget line behind it, 15.4% of all cost dollars.

The problem
Why most AI consulting stalls before it pays for itself.
The problem is almost never the model. It is that the business is not machine-readable yet: the data lives in four tools, the numbers only agree at month-end, and nobody owns the workflow.
Disconnected data
Three systems, three answers
Accounting, field operations, and CRM each hold part of the truth. Ask what a job made and you get three numbers and an argument.
Owner as the system
The knowledge sits in one head
The owner is the only one who knows the real numbers. AI cannot read that. It has to be pulled into a system first.
No one accountable
Nobody owns it after launch
The consultant leaves, the dashboard drifts, the agent breaks quietly. Six months later nobody trusts the numbers again.
What you get
What an Omadli AI consulting engagement includes.
Three phases. Each one ends with something running in your business, not a report on a shelf.
Phase 1 / Automation Blueprint
Assessment, roadmap, costing, quick wins
We connect to your systems read-only, run your own data, and show you where margin and hours leak. You get a ranked roadmap with real prices. From $5,000 per scope.
Phase 2 / Implementation
Dashboards, automations, AI agents
We build what the Blueprint ranked first: Power BI or QuickSight reporting, workflow automations, and custom agents such as Vickie and Farmon. Average build to a live dashboard is about 18 days.
Phase 3 / Operations Partnership
Fractional AI leadership, month to month
We monitor, maintain, and improve the stack and own the AI and BI strategy with you. Priced per engagement, sized to the hours and access you actually buy.
Packaged / One Brain
Groundbreaking, Framing, or Skyscraper
For construction and trade companies, the same work is packaged as One Brain: AI Site Superintendents that walk every connected system around the clock. Groundbreaking fixes your first costly blind spot (2 workflows across 2 systems). Framing connects job cost, labor, and billing (5 workflows across 4 systems, with a Decision Map and Claude team enablement). Skyscraper builds the operating brain across the company (7 workflows across 6 systems, phased). Every plan starts with the Automation Blueprint.
Throughout
Right tool per problem
AI-native does not mean everything becomes an AI agent. Some problems want SQL, some want a dashboard, some want an agent. We pick the tool that fits and keep humans in the loop.
How it works
How the first 30 days go.
You should see your own numbers in a new light inside the first two weeks.
01
Discovery call and system access
A 30-minute call, then read-only access to the systems you already run. We do not ask you to change anything first.
02
First pass through your data
We run job cost, WIP, cash, and workflow data and bring back what we found, with dollar amounts attached to each leak.
03
Blueprint review and pick the first build
You see the ranked roadmap with prices. We agree on the first build and it goes live in weeks, not quarters.
What the work finds
Numbers from real builds.
On one construction company's open jobs, the first pass through their own data found $1,055,524 of spending with no budget line behind it, 15.4% of all cost dollars on open jobs.
HVAC labor $326,168 over budget while plumbing sat $372,955 under, so the total read healthy and neither was corrected until the data was split by trade.
Another build: $1.06M of open-job cost the company's reports had no idea existed, and one back office handling 3x the volume with the same two people.
These are amounts identified, not amounts recovered.
Questions operators ask
AI consulting questions, answered.
We connect the systems you already run, read your data, and show you where money and hours leak. Then we build the reporting, automations, and AI agents that close those leaks, and we stay on to keep them working. The deliverable is a running system, not a strategy deck.
Phase 1, the Automation Blueprint, starts at $5,000 per scope and is sized to the company. Implementation and the ongoing Operations Partnership are priced per engagement based on what the Blueprint ranked and the hours and access you actually buy.
No. Omadli Group works with construction companies only: general contractors and specialty contractors in HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and the other trades, commercial first and residential too, from about $1M in revenue up. If a client also runs property, we handle that as it comes, but the whole practice is built around how a contractor runs a job.
No. We sit on top of Sage, BuildOps, Procore, Aspire, QuickBooks, Salesforce, and the rest, and connect them. Your software keeps running your business. We build the layer on top that you own.
Yes. We are based in Boston and run in-person Claude Training Labs in Watertown, MA. Most build work happens remotely, and we serve operators nationwide.
Instead of hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer, you get Omadli owning your AI and BI strategy month to month: monitoring the stack, maintaining it, and deciding what to build next with you. It is Phase 3 of every engagement.
