Don’t buy a consultant’s AI framework

Every major consulting firm offers its own prebuilt architectural framework, model, or reference architecture for generative AI and agentic AI . The pitch is nearly identical from firm to firm: “We’ve done this before, we’ve packaged the patterns, and if you start from our blueprint, you’ll get down the path faster.” It’s an age-old consulting technique. Get the client interested in an out-of-the-box solution, then bill the hours to customize it.
