How the options compare.
| Large consultancy | Oravel | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical scope | Strategy, operating model, large transformations. | Specific workflows: support, sales follow-up, reporting, partner portals. |
| Price transparency | Usually proposal-based. | Published prices; fixed quote after the Blueprint. |
| Speed | Programme timelines with phases and steering committees. | Most first systems live 2–4 weeks after the audit. |
| Team | Large, with specialists for every area. | Small: the designer builds and stays involved. We are open about our size. |
| Brand weight | Strong with boards and regulators. | Smaller; you judge us on working demos and written targets. |
| Best when | Enterprise-wide change across many teams. | SMEs and scale-ups that want working systems. |

Questions worth asking.
Ask any supplier who will actually build the system, and whether you will meet them before you sign.
Ask what is delivered at the end: a report, or something running in your accounts that you own.
Common questions.
Can Oravel handle large companies?
For specific workflows, yes, including builds in your own cloud with security review. For enterprise-wide programmes, a large firm is the better choice.
Do you do AI strategy?
The AI Blueprint is a practical plan for specific systems, with a fixed quote and target. It is not a company-wide strategy programme.
Can we use both?
Yes. Some clients keep a large firm for strategy and use a specialist to build specific systems quickly.
