Transparent pricing
AI consultancy pricing, published up front.
Most UK AI consultancies hide their fees; we publish ours. A SPARK Assessment starts from £5,000, implementation retainers from £2,500/month, Claude training from £2,500, and governance packages from £3,500 — a fraction of the £50,000+ a Big-4 firm charges, because you work directly with a senior practitioner, not a team of juniors.
What it costs
Four ways to work with us. Start where it makes sense — most clients begin with a SPARK Assessment.
SPARK Assessment
A fixed-scope AI discovery audit over 4–6 weeks that tells you exactly where AI will pay back first.
- AI readiness diagnostic
- Human-capability mapping
- Adversarial advisory-board pressure-test
- Findings report & session
Implementation Retainer
Fractional Chief AI Officer support: we build the AI Operating System and run it with your team.
- AI Operating System build
- Governance framework deployment
- Staff training & upskilling
- Senior-practitioner support, no juniors
Claude Training Days
Practical, hands-on Claude training. Team, Corporate and Leadership Strategy tiers.
- Team Training Day — from £2,500
- Corporate Day — £3,500
- Leadership Strategy Day — £5,000
- Real outputs, not theory
Governance Packages
Make AI safe before you scale it. Human and technical governance, stackable.
- AI Manifesto (human governance)
- ISO 42001-ready technical governance
- Mapped to the jurisdictions you trade in
- Certification-ready
Larger transformation programmes and enterprise governance are scoped per organisation. All prices exclude VAT.

Pricing FAQs
The questions buyers ask before they pick up the phone.
How much does an AI consultancy cost in the UK?
At Ignite AI Solutions, a SPARK Assessment starts from £5,000 as a one-off, implementation retainers start from £2,500/month, Claude training days start from £2,500, and governance packages start from £3,500. That sits well below the £50,000+ typical of Big-4 enterprise consultancies, because you work directly with a senior practitioner rather than a team of junior consultants.
Why is Ignite AI Solutions cheaper than a Big-4 consultancy?
There are no layers of junior consultants and no enterprise overhead. You work directly with a senior practitioner — an ex-Military Certified Chief AI Officer — so more of your budget goes into real implementation and training rather than account management. Pricing is published and transparent, with no hidden costs.
What does the SPARK Assessment include?
SPARK is a fixed-scope AI discovery audit from £5,000, delivered over 4–6 weeks. It includes an AI readiness diagnostic, human-capability mapping, an adversarial advisory-board pressure-test of your priorities, a findings report and a findings session — so you start implementation with a clear, costed plan.
Do I have to commit to a long contract?
No. The SPARK Assessment is a one-off engagement, and implementation retainers are monthly. You can start with a fixed-scope assessment, see the value, and only then move into an ongoing retainer.
Not sure which is right for you?
Start with a SPARK Assessment, or talk it through with Chris first. No pressure, no junior account managers.
