AI Consulting in Vancouver
Solway
Vancouver businesses don’t need hype, they need help. We help you integrate straightforward, safe AI that frees your team to do the work only people can do.
Strategy & Readiness
Before we jump in, we take a quick look at how your team works today. We find the jobs AI can help with, where it shouldn’t be used, and what “good” results look like. You’ll leave with a simple plan you can act on in weeks, not months.
• Quick scan of your tools (Microsoft 365, documents, CRM)
• Shortlist of AI ideas with expected time/cost savings and risks
• 4-week pilot plan with owners, success targets, and clear guardrails

Governance & Risk
AI should make work easier—without risking trust. We set clear rules, limit access, and keep people in control. Our approach follows BC FIPPA/PIPA privacy laws, with Canadian data-residency options when needed.
• Only the right people can see the right info (access control)
• All activity is logged so you can review it
• Important outputs get a human review and approval
• We test and monitor for accuracy, safety, and cost
• If something looks off, we can roll back quickly
