AI Strategy Consulting That Turns OpEx Into EBITDA
OneSeven Tech uses AI to turn excess operating expenses into EBITDA for operationally heavy mid-market companies.
Every dollar of operating cost you eliminate becomes a dollar of EBITDA. At an illustrative 5x EBITDA multiple, $1 of sustained annual EBITDA improvement can add $5 in enterprise value. Documented returns of 4.4x to 126x across 150+ projects.
What Makes This Different
01
Partners, Not Consultants
OneSeven Tech embeds inside your company to build, deploy, and maintain AI systems. We don’t deliver a deck and disappear.
How OneSeven Tech Handles the Work
Chief AI Officer Embedded Inside Your Organization
A Chief AI Officer leads your AI transformation from inside your organization. They set strategy, prioritize projects, and own the roadmap, without you hiring a full-time executive.
Forward-Deployed Engineers Who Build, Deploy, and Maintain
OneSeven engineers embed in your operations to build and ship AI systems. They stay to deploy, integrate, and maintain so nothing stalls after handoff.
Problem Solvers First, Technologists Second
We start with your operational problem and work backward to the technology. The goal is EBITDA, not deploying models.
Selected Projects From 150+
Real Projects, Measurable Outcomes
Three examples from three industries, each starting from where money was leaking.
How the ROI Gets Calculated
Each ROI model covers the cost of inaction, the operating expense to be removed, and the EBITDA lift.
What the Strategy Engagement Delivers
AI Readiness Assessment: Maturity Map and 30-Day Roadmap
A good starting point is OneSeven’s AI Readiness Assessment. It maps you to one of six maturity steps, from human-led to agentic, scores you across five pillars with recommendations tailored to your industry and stage, names what’s broken, and delivers a 30-day roadmap with starter projects, tools, and cost-of-inaction math.
From Roadmap to Production
Once a starter project clears the ROI math, forward-deployed engineers embed with your team to build, deploy, and maintain it, with results measured at 30, 60, and 90 days.
AI Strategy Consulting FAQs
Do you just deliver recommendations, or do you build and deploy?
OneSeven builds, deploys, and maintains the AI systems. A Chief AI Officer sets the strategy, and forward-deployed engineers embed in your operations to build and deploy it.
How do you measure success?
Success is measured in EBITDA and operating results. We track OpEx reduction, revenue recovery, and P&L impact. If it doesn't appear in your financials, it didn't work.
What does a project cost?
Project costs range from $12,000 to over $250,000, depending on project scope and requirements. The AI Readiness Assessment maps the work before you commit budget.
