Frequently asked
Is Strategence AI a good fit for very small teams?
Strategence focuses on businesses that are ready for a structured implementation. If you have under five employees and aren't sure where to start, a single Power Hour with Above Average is usually a cheaper, faster first step — you can graduate to a heavier engagement once you know what you actually need.
Does Above Average Consulting also handle AI governance?
Yes — for SMB-scale concerns. We help you set sensible rules for what data goes into which tool, write a one-page acceptable-use policy your team will actually read, and pick tools whose privacy posture matches your risk. For enterprise-grade governance frameworks, Strategence is a stronger fit.
