AI Consulting & Intelligent Systems Architecture

Turning your business into a scalable, automated machine.

At Vastrix, we help businesses understand, design, and implement AI and automation the right way,grounded in real engineering, real process design, and globally recognised project management frameworks.

Our consulting is delivered by an AI systems engineer using CPMAI-aligned delivery practices (PMI-CPMAI® certification currently in progress). You get structured, ethical, high-impact consulting designed to move your business forward, fast.

What We Do

Strategic AI consulting. Enterprise-grade systems. Real results.

Vastrix consulting combines AI strategy, workflow engineering, and technical architecture to help SMEs and scale-ups build the kind of automated operations normally reserved for bigger corporations.

You’re not getting generic advice, you’re getting actionable systems planning built on:

  • CPMAI™ methodology (CRISP-DM + PMI best practices)
  • Advanced automation experience (n8n, custom agents, API workflows)
  • Real deployment knowledge from actual systems Vastrix builds daily

Core Consulting Pillars

Everything we do aligns with CPMAI best practices and real-world system building. These are the pillars we use to structure your AI journey:

AI Readiness & Opportunity Assessment

We audit your processes, data, bottlenecks and look for:

  • automation opportunities
  • AI augmentation use cases
  • inefficiencies that can be eliminated
  • workflow gaps
  • high-ROI quick wins

Deliverable: a clear diagnostic report showing where AI fits and where it doesn't.

AI Roadmaps & Strategy Design

Using CPMAI methodology, we create a plan for:

  • what to automate
  • what AI models to use
  • what data is needed
  • what risks exist
  • build phases & timelines
  • required infrastructure

Deliverable: a 90-day or 6-month implementation roadmap.

Automation Architecture & Systems Design

We design the actual systems that will run your operations:

  • AI agents & workflows
  • custom automation pipelines
  • internal tools & data flows
  • API-based integrations
  • smart communication flows

Deliverable: a technical blueprint of your system, ready for implementation.

Implementation Support & Project Oversight

With CPMAI-aligned governance, we help ensure:

  • proper scoping
  • proper testing
  • proper iteration
  • ethical & compliant deployment

Deliverable: guided implementation that avoids failure, scope creep, and bad AI practices.

How Our Consulting Works

A structured, collaborative process designed to move from chaos to clarity and then to working systems.

1

Step 1 - Discovery & Deep Understanding

We learn your business model, processes, pain points, and goals. No templates, we map your actual reality.

2

Step 2 - Audit & Map

We analyse your workflows using CPMAI’s structured approach, identifying what to automate, augment or remove.

3

Step 3 - Architect & Align

We design the AI systems, automations, or solutions your business actually needs, not overkill, not gimmicks.

4

Step 4 - Implement or Support

You choose: Vastrix builds it for you, your devs build it with our oversight, or a hybrid model.
