What is included

What we actually build.

AI readiness audit

Where AI creates leverage in your operation, and where it plainly does not.

Use case mapping

A prioritised list, scored on effort against value, not a strategy deck.

Agent and tooling builds

Working software your team uses, deployed and maintained.

Skills architecture

Your agents are only as good as what you tell them. We build that layer.

Interface design for AI

Making model behaviour legible, correctable and trustworthy to the person using it.

Deployment and handover

Running in production, with your team able to change it.

One AI Advisory

We co-founded a company for the regulated end of this.

One AI Advisory does AI advisory, education and implementation, out of Zürich and Gothenburg. Their own line for it: practical AI adoption for regulated and high-stakes industries.

Jenny Holm and Noel Braganza, co-founders of One AI Advisory, talking beside a studio window

Noel Braganza and Jenny Holm met in Zurich across two delayed flights. By the end of the second delay they had agreed to start one venture together rather than the two separate ones they had each arrived with. Noel runs building and enablement. Jenny runs product, solutions and growth, mostly in finance, fintech, blockchain and automotive, which is where the compliance conversation tends to arrive before the demo does.

The engagement model has four stages, and the order is the point. Education comes first, because a team that cannot say what the model is doing will not sign off on it, whatever the pilot showed.

Everything One AI ships is built and shipped with Up Strategy Lab, which One AI describes as its AI-native build and delivery studio. Same people, either route. Their phrase for the journey is "from AI-curious to AI-capable", and you can read the rest of it at oneaiadvisory.com.

For the AI work we take on directly as Up Strategy Lab, AI Design Agency is a good place to start.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI transformation for a B2B business?

AI transformation means finding where artificial intelligence creates real leverage in how your business operates, then building and deploying the tools that capture it. Up Strategy Lab, an AI transformation agency based in Gothenburg, runs this as an audit first, not a strategy deck.

How does Up Strategy Lab's AI readiness audit work?

The audit maps where AI creates leverage in your operation, and where it plainly does not, then produces a prioritised list scored on effort against value. It follows the same fixed-price, two-week format as our product design audit, starting at EUR 6,500.

What does an AI transformation engagement include?

An AI readiness audit, use case mapping, agent and tooling builds, the skills architecture your agents need to work well, interface design for AI, and deployment with handover so your team can maintain it. You can start with the audit alone.

Do you build the AI tools, or just recommend them?

We build them. Agent and tooling builds are working software your team actually uses, deployed and maintained by Up Strategy Lab, not a slide deck about what AI could theoretically do for a B2B business like yours somewhere down the line.

What is skills architecture in an AI engagement?

It is the structured layer of knowledge and context you give your agents so their output is actually useful. An AI agent is only as good as what it has been told, and Up Strategy Lab builds that layer as part of the engagement.

How much does AI transformation cost?

The AI readiness audit is EUR 6,500, fixed price, over two weeks, credited against your first month if you continue. Embedded engagements run EUR 9,500 to EUR 17,500 per month, and full builds from strategy through deployment start at EUR 45,000.

Who is Up Strategy Lab's AI transformation service for?

Established B2B businesses that need to modernise how they operate without stopping to do it. Most clients already run a working product or process and want AI applied where it changes outcomes, not layered on top for its own sake or for a press release.

Does Up Strategy Lab design the interface for AI features too?

Yes. Interface design for AI is part of the same engagement, making model behaviour legible, correctable and trustworthy for the person using it, drawing on the same digital product design practice we use for the rest of your product and brand.

Where is Up Strategy Lab based?

Up Strategy Lab is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, working with B2B clients everywhere. Founded in 2018, the studio has done design and AI work for 40 plus companies.

What happens after the AI readiness audit?

You get a prioritised, scored list of use cases and a clear view of where AI creates leverage in your business. If you continue, the audit fee is credited in full against your first month of an embedded or full engagement.
