# 9AI

> 9AI is an embedded AI engineering firm that turns traditional companies into AI-native organisations. A 9AI Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) lives inside your company for a 4-week on-site audit, then ships a working unit of AI every month with measurable before/after ROI. Headquartered in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India; ISO 27001 certified; delivering across India, the United States, the UAE, and Singapore.

The 9AI model replaces traditional AI consulting. Instead of slide decks and six-month pilots, an FDE walks the floor, sits in standups, maps every department, aligns people and data, builds the solution, ships it, and reports ROI monthly. The signature engagement is the **Embedded AI Growth Office** — one team covering consultancy, custom development, and the AI agents/workforce that result.

Core positioning: *"Technology isn't the limit. Adaptability is."* Tagline: *"Signal over noise. Outcomes, not experiments."*

Every engagement ties output to measurable business metrics. Shipped examples: 96% faster luxury product search at The House of Things; ₹15L/month saved at Tempsens; 10× video production throughput at Kansoft; 85% admin reduction at Kingdom of Chess; 95% faster grading at TestnTrack.

## The 4-week AI Audit (entry-point product)

A fixed-scope, fixed-price, on-site engagement. A 9AI Forward Deployed Engineer is embedded on your floor for 30 days. Every artefact lives in **9OS**, our internal secured knowledge platform, and is yours to export forever with zero vendor lock-in.

**How it runs**

- **Week 0 — Pre-Audit:** NDA and proposal locked, org structure and audit coverage list collected, account access and gate-passes arranged, FDE briefed on your industry and brand narrative, employees notified before arrival.
- **Weeks 1–3 — Field Audit:** Structured 1:1 interviews with every role on the coverage list, audio captured and transcribed into 9OS, tool screenshots and artefacts collected, daily updates to your point of contact, pain points flagged in real time.
- **Week 4 — Solutioning:** People × Process × Technology map compiled; department SOPs / SIPOC / swimlane diagrams generated; Problem Register severity-ranked (P0/P1/P2); AI mockups built for the top-leverage problems; peer-reviewed by 9AI leadership.
- **Day 30 — The Reveal:** On-site presentation to your leadership; SOP walked through department by department; 2-year AI Roadmap demoed with ROI estimates; top 2–3 mockups shown live. You decide. No upsell theatre.

**What you keep (whether or not you continue with 9AI)**

- **Detailed Company SOP** — department-by-department workflow map with SIPOC + swimlane diagrams covering people, processes (L1–L3), tools, handoffs, and pain points.
- **2-Year AI Roadmap** — a 24-month prioritised roadmap with the first 6 months detailed at high level, ROI estimates, and a severity-ranked Problem Register across People, Process, and Technology.
- **AI Solution Mockups** — visual, interactive mockups of the top 2–3 AI solutions with technical architecture and adoption plan, demoed live on-site.

**Monthly delivery** follows for clients who continue. Each month ships a working unit of AI — an agent, an automation, or a model — integrated with existing systems (SAP, Magento, Salesforce, custom stacks) and reported against the baseline metrics captured during the audit.

## Service pillars

A single embedded team covers all four pillars; clients do not hire one firm for strategy and another for build.

- **AI Consultancy** — strategy, audits, and roadmap.
- **AI Development** — custom builds integrated with existing systems.
- **AI Agents** — autonomous workflows and orchestration.
- **AI Workforce** — the durable AI capability handed over to the client.

## Frequently asked

**What is an Embedded AI Growth Office?**
A dedicated AI team that lives inside the client company, maps every process, aligns people and data, and delivers measurable AI outcomes every month — rather than one-off consulting or generic SaaS tools.

**How does 9AI differ from an AI consulting firm?**
Traditional consultants visit occasionally and deliver slide decks. 9AI embeds daily inside the organisation, runs a 4-week deep audit, and ships working AI monthly with before/after ROI reports.

**Why four weeks for the audit, not one?**
A week gets observations. Four weeks get patterns. Decisions made from patterns hold up.

**What if a client doesn't continue with 9AI after the audit?**
The audit is a standalone product. Clients keep the SOP, 2-year roadmap, mockups, and leadership deck and can take them to any vendor or in-house team with zero obligation.

**How is the 9AI audit different from McKinsey or Deloitte AI strategy?**
Consultants ship slides. 9AI ships a working blueprint built by an engineer who walked your floor — mockups, architecture, and a severity-ranked problem register — at a fraction of the price.

**Who runs the audit on-site?**
A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), hand-picked and trained on 9AI's audit pattern, the client's industry terminology, and connection-building skills before entering the office. Not interns.

**What about data confidentiality and security?**
NDA is signed before week zero. 9AI runs ISO 27001-certified processes. All audit data lives in 9OS, the internal secured knowledge platform, shared only with the named team on the account. Employees are notified before the FDE joins.

**Which industries does 9AI serve?**
Process-heavy industries where AI has the highest impact: BPO, BFSI, and Manufacturing, with twelve named verticals covered end-to-end. Primary client profile is mid-market companies with 200+ employees across Indian metros, with global delivery.

**Where is 9AI located and which markets does it serve?**
9AI is headquartered in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, and delivers globally with named regional coverage across India, the United States, the UAE, and Singapore.

## What 9AI is not

- Not a generic consulting firm producing slide decks — engineers embed daily on the client's floor.
- Not a SaaS vendor selling a single tool — every build is custom to the client's processes.
- Not a staff-augmentation shop — the deliverable is shipped AI with measurable ROI, not engineer-hours.
- Not vendor lock-in — all audit artefacts live in 9OS and are exportable; clients own everything.
