Straight answers on what rev.B does, how an AI audit works, what it costs in Ireland, which grants apply, and who owns what gets built. If your question isn't here, ask it on a free call.
rev.B Consultancy is an AI consultancy for Irish SMEs, with a focus on manufacturing and engineering firms. We start with a fixed-price AI audit of how your work actually flows, then build and support the systems that save the time. We don't resell software licences, and we don't sell a generic AI strategy deck.
An AI audit is a short, structured review of how a business actually runs, done to find which specific processes AI or automation can improve and what each would save, before anything is built. Ours involves interviews with the people who do the work, an opportunity map ranked by impact against effort, and a costed roadmap. See what an AI audit is for the full breakdown.
Owner-managed businesses of roughly 10 people upward that suspect AI could help but don't have the time or in-house expertise to act on it. The usual trigger is one named process that is visibly slow, error-prone or getting harder to staff. Manufacturing and engineering firms are a particular focus.
No. Manufacturing and engineering are the main focus, but the audit method works for any business with repeatable processes, such as quoting, orders, jobs, reporting or compliance paperwork. Very small businesses rarely have enough repeated work for an audit to pay back.
No. The audit is independent of any product, and tools are chosen to fit the problem and your existing stack. In the interest of being upfront: most builds lean on Claude/Anthropic tooling, standard automation platforms, and custom software where nothing off-the-shelf fits.
Based in Ireland, working with Irish SMEs. Interviews normally run on video call at times that suit your team, including early morning and evening.
About two weeks: interviews and process review in week one, then the validation call, roadmap and presentation in week two. It can be nearer one week for a small team with process documents ready, and longer when many people need interviewing.
Four steps. Discovery: 30 to 45 minute interviews with leadership and the people doing the work, plus your existing process documents. Opportunity mapping: every time-sink and quality risk plotted on an impact-versus-effort matrix. Validation: a call where the prioritised roadmap is built with you rather than handed down. Presentation: a short summary with an ROI estimate for each opportunity.
Mostly time, not data: a 30 to 45 minute interview with each person involved (leadership and the people doing the work), recorded with their permission, plus whatever process documentation already exists. Nothing sensitive is required for the audit itself. Data handling for any build is scoped and agreed separately.
A five-slide presentation covering scope, the opportunity matrix, the roadmap, one opportunity in depth, and an ROI summary, along with the underlying opportunity map. The roadmap is costed and phased: quick wins in the first 30 to 90 days, larger systems after.
Quick wins, usually off-the-shelf or lightly tweaked tools, typically ship within 30 to 90 days of the roadmap being agreed. Larger custom systems are phased in after that and take longer.
That is a valid outcome. The audit ranks opportunities by impact and effort, and some processes aren't worth automating yet. You would still have the documented findings, and building anything is a separate decision. You can stop after any stage.
Most SMEs aren't, and that's fine. The audit exists to find specific, concrete opportunities rather than assume you need a company-wide AI strategy on day one.
For a small organisation of roughly 10 to 20 people, the AI audit is a fixed fee of €3,000 to €5,000, agreed before work begins. The fee scales up for larger or more complex organisations, because there are more people to interview and more processes to map. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yes. It's a free 30-minute conversation, not a sales pitch. It explains how the audit and build process works, answers your questions, and checks whether there's a fit before anything is agreed. Slots run around your schedule, including early morning and evening.
Builds are scoped per engagement and always separate from the audit fee. Off-the-shelf or lightly tweaked quick wins cost less and ship faster; custom builds cost more and take longer. You see the scope and price before committing to each stage.
Support is a monthly retainer that keeps what's built running, with fixes and small iterations as your process shifts. There's no lock-in: you can stop once you're self-sufficient. We recommend it alongside any build, because AI tooling changes quickly and systems that nobody maintains tend to fail.
Yes. Training is usually a recommendation that comes out of the audit findings. Day-rate workshops are agreed per engagement, typically in the range of €600 to €1,000 per day. A monthly retainer of €950 covers four 90-minute sessions.
For companies with 10 or more full-time staff, the Enterprise Ireland Digital Discovery Grant can cover 80% of a strategic consultancy engagement like the AI audit, up to a €5,000 grant. The LEO Grow Digital Voucher can offset up to 50% of build-stage tooling costs, up to €5,000, once a free LEO 'Digital for Business' review is done. Terms change, so check current figures with Enterprise Ireland or your LEO. Details are on the grants page.
For the Digital Discovery Grant, yes: 10 or more full-time staff, and approval from Enterprise Ireland before work starts. The Grow Digital Voucher covers businesses with 1 to 50 employees, but it funds off-the-shelf software, training and setup rather than consultancy or custom software, and it needs the free 'Digital for Business' review first. Neither is guaranteed; check eligibility with Enterprise Ireland or your Local Enterprise Office.
You do. Anything built for your business is yours outright, with no ongoing licence fee to keep using it.
The audit needs your time and existing process documents, not sensitive data. If a build needs access to your systems or data, how that's handled is scoped and agreed separately before anything is connected.
No. This sits alongside whatever IT support you have, focused specifically on AI-driven process and workflow work rather than general IT.
Whatever fits the problem and your existing stack. Most builds lean on Claude/Anthropic tooling, standard automation platforms, and custom software where nothing off-the-shelf fits.
No. The audit puts a number on each opportunity using your own figures and shows the assumptions behind it, but results depend on how a change is adopted. Any example figures on this site are labelled as illustrative.
Against doing it yourself: a structured audit first means you build the right thing rather than guessing. Against a large consultancy: a fixed price agreed up front, a system built and not just a report, and no day-rate that grows as the work runs. See the side-by-side comparison.
