Every AI engagement starts with the bottleneck in front of you.
One company cannot hire fast enough. Another is growing faster than its team can answer the phone. A third has pricing logic it would never paste into a chatbot. The right first step looks different for each, and so does the price.
Proxigee Services is an AI consulting firm based in Wexford, near Pittsburgh, that builds AI into the systems small and midsize companies already run. Below are the ways we engage, how long each typically takes, and what each typically costs.
What does each Proxigee offering include?
Six offerings cover most first steps, from a governed rollout of the right AI plan to AI that runs on hardware you own. Each card shows who it fits, a typical schedule, and a typical price range.
Governed AI Start
Owners and CEOs whose teams already use AI on their own
We help you choose the right business plan from the frontier AI providers and get your team using it safely on real work. You finish with a plan matched to the data your people will use, a clear line on what can and cannot go into AI tools, one acceptable-use rule everyone understands, and a named owner for AI decisions.
AI Roadmap and Advisory Cadence
Leadership teams that agree AI matters but not where to begin
We study how your business actually runs, rank the opportunities by value and readiness, and map the steps, owners, and order to get there. Then we meet on a regular schedule to review what has happened, what could be better, and what opportunities are emerging, because finishing one initiative is what reveals the next.
One client's first initiative expanded its market reach so well that a hiring manager fielded more than fifty calls on a single job posting. The roadmap moved to meet it.
Use Case Build
Companies with one agreed bottleneck inside a system they already run
We build one AI agent or workflow that works behind a system your company already runs, so your people keep the screens they know. Scope, data readiness, and how much the agent is trusted to do on its own move a project within the range.
A regional convenience store operator moved its recruiters from fewer than 15 interviews a week to more than 50 and brought outsourced recruiting back in-house. The program paid for itself in under four months.
Sovereign AI Setup
Companies whose most valuable information cannot leave the building
We keep your most proprietary and critical AI capabilities on infrastructure your company controls. That means choosing the models, setting up the environment, and deciding which work stays in-house and which is safe to outsource.
Hardware is billed separately. Capable machines now cost a few thousand dollars.
AI Search Visibility
Marketing and growth leaders who need buyers to find them inside AI answers
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews for a shortlist before they ask anyone for a quote. We make sure your company is part of that answer and described accurately, measured on a fixed set of real buyer questions.
Level 1: Marketing Forge
Scoped on requestA Marketing Forge subscription added to the website and social channels you already run, for audience intelligence, publishing, and performance measurement from one login.
Level 2: Rebuild and Optimize
Scoped on requestA full website rebuild, an engine optimization audit with corrective actions across search and answer engines, and a Marketing Forge subscription to keep it growing.
Advisory Retainer
Teams that want a standing second set of eyes on their AI program
A standing session with a senior Proxigee advisor plus async access between sessions, so questions get answered without spinning up a new project each time.
Biweekly
From $2,500 per monthA 60-minute session every other week, plus async access by email or Teams.
Weekly
From $4,000 per monthA 60-minute session every week, plus async access by email or Teams.
These are typical ranges from Proxigee engagements as of October 2026, and they are not quotes. Scope sets the price, and every engagement begins with a written summary and a fixed price. The reasoning behind the ranges is in what it costs a midsize company to get started with AI.
Which offering fits your company?
Most companies can place themselves by answering four questions. Many answer yes to more than one, and the right first step is the one that clears the most pressing constraint with the fastest payback.
Is your team already using AI tools on its own, without an agreed plan or rules?
Start with a Governed AI Start.Is there one bottleneck the leadership team agrees on, inside a system you already run?
That points to a Use Case Build.Does leadership agree AI matters but disagree on where to begin?
An AI Roadmap settles that question first.Does the work involve information that cannot leave the company?
That is where a Sovereign AI Setup comes in.
How does a typical engagement run?
Every engagement leaves your team with something it keeps using after we step back. The schedule flexes with the offering, and the shape stays the same.
- 01Week 0
Scoping conversation and written summary
A first conversation costs nothing. If there is a fit, you receive a written scoping summary with options, a timeline, and a fixed price, so there is no open-ended discovery billed by the hour.
- 02Weeks 1 to 2
Current-state review inside your systems
We talk with the people who do the work and look at the systems and data they use, so the build starts from how your business actually runs.
- 03Weeks 2 to 10
Build and controlled rollout
We build the capability, put it in front of a small group first, and widen the rollout once it holds up. The first release is complete and useful on its own.
- 04Ongoing
Handoff and standing review
Your team keeps what was built. A regular status review covers what has happened, what could be better, and what opportunities are emerging, which is where the next initiative usually shows up.
Keep a senior advisor in the room as the program grows.
Once the first capability is live, the questions keep coming. The retainer gives your team a senior Proxigee advisor on a regular schedule, plus a channel for everything in between.
