Common questions.
What does Blue Orange do?
Blue Orange is a consulting firm that helps PE-backed companies figure out where AI will actually pay, then builds it into their operations. We build on Claude and Databricks. The work splits into two groups: the first figures out where AI pays; the second builds it and keeps it running.
What are the three stages?
Three stages with published prices, and advisory alongside: Assess (know where AI creates value), Build (ship the first workflow) and Scale (repeat it across the book), with Advisory (a senior AI lead on retainer). Assess delivers its readout in 2 to 4 weeks, Build puts the first workflow live by day 100, and Scale covers 3 to 15 companies.
How does Blue Orange figure out where AI will pay?
It starts with the two-hour diagnostic: a two-hour, read-only read of your data and AI stack that places you on our five AI maturity levels (L1 to L5) and hands you a ranked list of workflows, complimentary for qualified companies. Assess then delivers an opportunity map, ROI model, 90-day plan and board-ready readout in 2 to 4 weeks, at a fixed $25K to $50K.
What does Blue Orange build?
Four capabilities: agentic automation (production AI agents for operator workflows, with human-in-the-loop controls and production monitoring), a data platform (fragmented systems unified into one governed lakehouse), analytics and ML (forecasts and models built on your real data) and decision intelligence (dashboards and a single source of truth). The Build stage takes one function to Level 3 in production.
What results has Blue Orange delivered?
Three named results sit on this page. The Hartford: $6M+ saved, with claims triage models in production with a full audit trail. Berkadia: 40% faster underwriting from an automated valuation pipeline across the lending book. Colliers: market data from 60+ markets unified into one decision-ready platform.
Does Blue Orange work with Databricks and Claude?
Yes. We build on Claude and Databricks, and the work runs in your cloud, on AWS or Azure. Two of the three results on this page were built on Databricks: The Hartford on AWS and Berkadia on Azure.
How much do Build, Scale and Advisory cost?
Build is $75K to $350K, 3 to 6 months. Scale is $250K to $1.5M+, per year, annual agreement. Advisory is $15K to $30K / mo, monthly, 3-month minimum. Milestone billing: you pay for progress, not hours. Assess is $25K to $50K, 2 to 4 weeks.
