Big Consulting talks. Dev shops build. We do both — and we don't vanish after the invoice.

Most AI firms pick a lane: strategy without delivery, or code without governance. Regulated industries need both — from people who've actually sat in your seat.

Big Consulting
Strategy Without Delivery
  • 18 months, one deck, zero shipped code
  • 200 slides, no implementation
  • Offshore team, no one to call
  • Doesn't know what HIPAA stands for
  • Ghosts you the day the contract ends
Asis Advisory
Governed. Built. Scaled.
  • We advise it, then we actually build it
  • Governance baked in, not bolted on
  • Fluent in HIPAA, FDA & SOX
  • Real team, real Chicago office
  • Startup speed, enterprise nerves of steel
Dev Shops & AI Startups
Engineering Without Governance
  • Never heard of a compliance review
  • One audit and the whole thing unravels
  • Change management? Never heard of her
  • No idea what a CoE even is
  • You're their first enterprise client. Yikes.
How We Help

Advise. Build. Scale. Pick your entry point.

Every engagement starts with governance and ends with you not needing us anymore. No handoffs. No gaps. No 200-slide decks nobody reads.

01
Advise
AI Strategy & Governance

We map your risk, size your opportunity, and hand you a governance architecture that scales with you — not against you. No discovery theater. Just decisions.

  • AI readiness & use-case audit
  • CAGE governance framework design
  • HIPAA, FDA, SOX compliance mapping
  • AI ethics, risk & policy architecture
  • Vendor, model & platform evaluation
02
Build
AI Engineering & Products

Engineering squads that ship real, production-grade AI — faster and cheaper than hiring your own team. You pay for what ships, not hours logged.

  • Custom AI/ML development
  • Agent frameworks & RAG pipelines
  • Enterprise platform integration
  • Microsoft Copilot & LLM deployment
  • AI-powered product development
03
Scale
AI CoE & Org Transformation

Deploying AI is easy. Sustaining it is the hard part. We build the org, the governance council, and the muscle memory — so it outlives us.

  • AI Center of Excellence setup
  • Governance council & AIGC design
  • AI talent strategy & hiring support
  • Token economics & AI FinOps
  • Upskilling & change management
Industries

Where the stakes are highest.

We work where AI mistakes actually cost something — a diagnosis, a dollar, a brand. Governance isn't a nice-to-have here. It's existential.

Not Your Average AI Vendor

"If your AI touches a patient chart or a bank account, 'we'll patch it later' isn't a plan. It's a headline waiting to happen."

Founder & Principal, Asis Advisory — formerly Fortune 50 AI & Governance Executive

The Framework

Move fast. Govern faster.

Four pillars that let you innovate without losing sleep — because "responsible" and "creative" were never supposed to be opposites. Industry-agnostic, battle-tested, yours to steal.

Govern
Guardrails, not gates

Clear policy, defined decision rights, and accountability from day one — so your team can move fast without setting off alarms in legal.

Secure
Trust, engineered in

Data protection, access control, and model risk management built into the foundation — not bolted on after something breaks.

Measure
If you can't see it, you can't trust it

Real-time visibility into performance, bias, and drift — numbers your board believes, not vibes your team hopes are true.

Scale
From pilot to platform

The org, infrastructure, and muscle memory to take AI from one team's experiment to everyone's advantage — without the wheels coming off.

Our Process

From kickoff to scaled AI in 90 days.

A playbook we've run before. No 18-month timelines, no discovery theater. Just work — and things that ship.

1
Weeks 1–2
Diagnose

Readiness audit, use-case map, regulatory gut-check, stakeholder buy-in. You'll know exactly where you stand before we touch a line of code.

2
Weeks 3–4
Design

Governance architecture, technical blueprint, org model, and ROI math that holds up in a board meeting. Bring it to your CFO — we dare you.

3
Weeks 5–12
Build & Deploy

Your first AI use case, shipped. Governance running alongside it, not bolted on after. Real software in production — not a slide that says "proof of concept."

4
Ongoing
Scale & Govern

CoE stood up. Team trained. Governance humming. You own it outright — we stick around if you want us, or vanish like we were never here.

Why Asis

Built by someone who's done it from the inside.

Asis Advisory was founded by a former Fortune 50 AI executive who built an enterprise AI Center of Excellence from scratch — governance frameworks, engineering infrastructure, and change management, rolled out across 140,000+ employees in regulated healthcare. Not theoretical. Lived it.

We've sat in the chair you're sitting in — board rooms, compliance reviews, union sensitivities, the endless "not yet" conversations. That's the difference between us and a consulting firm that's only ever advised from the outside looking in.

When we say we've done this at scale, we mean it.

Questions

What people ask before working with us.

The honest version, not the marketing version.

What does Asis Advisory do?

Asis Advisory is a hands-on AI consulting firm that advises, builds, and scales AI systems for regulated industries — combining AI strategy and governance with actual engineering delivery, not just recommendations.

How is Asis Advisory different from a typical AI consulting firm or dev shop?

Big consulting firms hand you a strategy deck without writing code; dev shops ship code without governance. Asis Advisory does both — AI strategy, governance, and hands-on build — under one team, with a track record from Fortune 50 AI Center of Excellence work.

Does Asis Advisory review or audit existing AI systems, or only build new ones?

Both. Engagements start with an AI readiness and use-case audit, vendor/model/platform evaluation, and governance review of existing systems, then move into hands-on engineering, deployment, and Center of Excellence build-out.

What industries does Asis Advisory work with?

Regulated and high-stakes industries where AI mistakes are costly — healthcare systems and payers, medical devices and diagnostics, pharma and life sciences, financial services, manufacturing and supply chain, and retail/CPG and fashion.

What services does Asis Advisory offer?

Three entry points: Advise (AI strategy, governance architecture, compliance mapping), Build (custom AI/ML engineering, agent frameworks, RAG pipelines, platform integration), and Scale (AI Center of Excellence setup, governance councils, talent strategy, AI FinOps).

How long does an Asis Advisory engagement take?

The standard playbook runs 90 days from kickoff to a first AI use case shipped and governed in production — roughly 2 weeks to diagnose, 2 weeks to design, and 8 weeks to build and deploy, followed by ongoing scale and governance support.

Where is Asis Advisory based?

Chicago, IL — women-led, founded by a former Fortune 50 AI and governance executive who built an enterprise AI Center of Excellence from scratch across 140,000+ employees in regulated healthcare.
