Questions we hear most
Three things. Enterprise architecture consulting for government and regulated industries, including nuclear (Canadian and US). AI strategy and delivery: finding opportunities, building prototypes, shipping production systems, and assessing shadow AI usage. And SaaS products that solve specific operational problems.
Federal government departments. Nuclear operators meeting CSA N286 or NQA-1 requirements. Regulated enterprises in energy, defence, and financial services. Mid-market companies that know AI matters but need help figuring out where it fits. PE firms and boards that need independent technical due diligence before a transaction closes.
Both. Enterprise architecture engagements produce assessments, compliance frameworks, and roadmaps. AI engagements range from advisory (Opportunity Sprint, Shadow AI Assessment) to hands-on delivery (Prototype & Validation, Build & Integration) that produces working software. We also build and operate our own SaaS products.
Federal government, nuclear energy (both Canadian CNSC/CSA N286 and US NRC/NQA-1 frameworks), defence and national security, energy and utilities, and financial services. We bring 25 years of enterprise architecture experience to environments where regulators, auditors, and safety cases are part of the operating reality.
Practical applications that solve specific business problems: document classification, intelligent search, automated estimation, content moderation, data analysis, workflow automation, natural language interfaces to your data. We work with large language models, computer vision, and traditional machine learning depending on what the problem actually requires.
Enterprise architecture engagements are scoped per project. For AI: the Opportunity Sprint is one week, Prototype & Validation runs two to four weeks, Build & Integration is four to eight weeks, Shadow AI Assessment takes one to two weeks. Every engagement has a fixed timeline and defined deliverables agreed before work starts.
Pricing depends on scope and complexity. Every engagement has a fixed price agreed before work starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprise invoices. Book a call and we'll scope it together.
That's what the AI Opportunity Sprint is for. In one week, we audit your operations, product, and workflows. You get a ranked list of AI opportunities with estimated ROI and complexity, plus a detailed brief on the best starting point. The Sprint is designed to replace the meeting where your leadership team debates AI strategy and leaves with no decision.
You saved yourself from a six-month mistake for the cost of a two-to-four-week engagement. The validation report tells you exactly what didn't work and why. Sometimes the answer is that the data isn't ready, or the use case is better served by a commercial product, or the ROI doesn't justify a custom build. Finding that out in weeks instead of months is the point.
No. We handle the AI and architecture expertise. What we need from you is domain knowledge: people who understand your business, your data, and your workflows. Delivery engagements include a full handoff with documentation and knowledge transfer so your existing team can maintain and extend what we build.
Bill Sourour leads every engagement. He writes the architecture, builds the prototypes, and brings in specialists when the scope requires it. Twenty-five years of building enterprise systems, the last two focused on getting AI into production. A senior-led team sized to the engagement, no handoffs to people you haven't met.
No. Enterprise architecture consulting is a core service: architecture roadmaps, compliance frameworks, cloud enablement, and AI governance for regulated environments. Most AI projects land in environments that need architecture, security, and compliance foundations first. We handle both. We also build our own SaaS products.
Organizations looking for staff augmentation or body-shop consulting. Companies looking for a 50-person delivery team. If you need warm bodies on seats, we're not the right fit. If you need senior-led, fixed-scope engagements with defined deliverables, that's what we do.
Book a 30-minute call through our website. You describe the situation. We ask questions. By the end, we'll know which engagement fits. If none of our services match, we'll tell you that too.
