An honest fit comparison. AI implementation firms (build-only) and Aegis Boardroom solve overlapping needs differently. This page is the buyer's-side decision framework, not a sales pitch.
AI implementation firms (build-only): what it is.
AI implementation firms ship working AI software: integrations, agents, RAG pipelines, fine-tuned models. The deliverable is code. The category is increasingly commoditized.
Implementation firms win when the strategy is already locked, the use case is specific, and the company needs hands on keyboards.
Aegis is an AI Strategy Consulting firm with Modular AI Agent Services. Strategy precedes the build. The agents are pre-built and configurable, not custom code. The engagement is designed around workflow integration and adoption rhythm before implementation begins.
When AI implementation firms (build-only) is the right answer.
Strategy is locked, use case is specific, internal team can manage the implementation handoff. You know what to build.
When Aegis Boardroom is the right answer.

How pricing structures compare.
AI implementation firms typically price by project scope and delivery model. Aegis Strategy Consulting prices by deliverable. Modular Agents are subscription.
