AI consulting that starts with your business, not the hype.

Every vendor is suddenly an "AI company," and it's hard to tell what's real. CTS gives Pittsburgh businesses an honest, local answer: where AI will actually save you hours or win you revenue, what it will cost, and what to skip. We assess, we recommend, and if it makes sense — we build it with you.

Clarity before commitment

Advisory work designed to de-risk your first (or next) AI investment.

AI Readiness Assessment

A structured review of your workflows, data, tools, and team to find where AI delivers measurable ROI — and where it would just be an expensive toy. You get a written scorecard with prioritized opportunities.

  • Workflow & time-sink analysis
  • Data readiness review
  • Quick-win vs. long-play scoring
  • Written report you keep

Use-Case Roadmap

A prioritized, sequenced plan: which AI use cases to tackle first, what each one costs, what it saves, and how success gets measured. Built for owners who want a plan they can defend to a partner or a board.

  • ROI estimates per use case
  • Build vs. buy recommendations
  • 90-day and 12-month sequencing
  • Budget-realistic scoping

Vendor & Tool Selection

Copilot or ChatGPT? Off-the-shelf or custom? We evaluate tools against your actual requirements and negotiate from your side of the table — we don't take vendor commissions, so the recommendation is yours alone.

  • Independent tool evaluations
  • Licensing & cost comparison
  • Security & privacy vetting
  • Pilot design & rollout support

Responsible AI & Governance

Your team is already using AI — the question is whether it's sanctioned and safe. We write practical AI-use policies, train staff, and put guardrails around customer data so "shadow AI" doesn't become your next breach.

  • Acceptable-use policy drafting
  • Staff training sessions
  • Data-handling guardrails
  • Compliance-aware rollout

Before you call

What does it cost?

Engagements start with a fixed-price readiness assessment — you know the number before we begin. Implementation is scoped per project. Pricing is built for 1–100 employee businesses, not enterprises.

Do we need to be technical?

No. We translate. We sit with the people who run your operations, find where hours are lost, and explain in plain language what AI can and can't fix.

What if AI isn't a fit yet?

Then we tell you that — sometimes better process or simple automation should come first. That honest finding costs far less than a failed AI project.
