AI Consulting
Strategic Alignment
A demo impresses them. A podcast convinces them. They buy a tool. The tool underdelivers. They conclude AI isn't ready.
That is not an AI problem. That is an alignment problem.
AI curiosity asks: what can this do? AI infrastructure asks: what does my business need this to do, and what breaks if it does it wrong? These are entirely different questions — and almost no one in this space is asking the second one.
Strategic alignment is where this engagement begins. Before a single agent is built, before a single workflow is automated, the business is mapped. Revenue paths. Operational friction. Human touchpoints that must stay human. Risk surface. Only then does the architecture take shape — and only then does the build begin.
The result is not a tool. It is infrastructure. And infrastructure compounds.
Credentials
Invited in before the public, trusted with builds that are not yet released, and working at the level where platforms come looking for them rather than the other way around.
Renea Hanks is a member of the Google Developer Program and a Google I/O registrant at developer tier. She works inside Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Firebase, and Workspace not as an end user, but as a systems architect. Her specialty is Human-in-the-Loop orchestration — the discipline of knowing precisely where AI should operate autonomously and where a human must remain in the chain.
She was sought out directly by a founder for early access participation. She is currently under NDA with a major platform on an AI product that has not been released. She does not talk about what she cannot talk about. That boundary is part of the trust.
She does not just know what AI does. She knows why it does it — and what it does when it fails.

The Result
The Solid Solution is not more technology. It is reclaimed time, running invisibly in the background, doing work that used to cost you hours and attention you did not have to spend.
A business owner who has gone through this engagement does not check in on their AI. They do not manage it, troubleshoot it, or wonder if it is working. It works. It qualifies leads while they sleep. It answers questions while they are on a job site. It routes, escalates, and responds — within the guardrails that were built specifically for their business and their liability.
Revenue scales. The calendar does not fill. The stress does not follow the growth.
That is the difference between a tool and infrastructure. Tools require attention. Infrastructure requires trust — and trust is built once, correctly, by someone who has done it before.
This is where that gets done.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AI consulting for small business actually include?
AI consulting at Solid Solutions Today starts with strategic alignment — mapping your revenue paths, operational friction, human touchpoints, and risk surface before any build begins. From there, the engagement moves into architecture and deployment: custom AI agents, workflow automation, and Human-in-the-Loop system design. The deliverable is infrastructure that runs, not a strategy deck.
How is this different from hiring a general AI consultant?
Most AI consultants advise. This engagement builds. Renea Hanks is a Google Developer Program member who works inside Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Firebase, and Workspace as a systems architect — not as an end user. Every engagement produces something deployed and working, owned entirely by the client.
Who owns the AI systems built during the engagement?
The client owns everything — every asset, every account, every password. Nothing is held hostage. Ownership is non-negotiable and is stated explicitly in every engagement.
What size business is AI consulting right for?
Small to mid-sized businesses with real operational needs and the willingness to build correctly. The typical client has a high-value service, limited bandwidth, and specific friction points that AI can solve — lead qualification, after-hours response, inquiry routing, or workflow automation.
