AI Problem-Solution Matching Service (Bespoke Consulting + Facilitation)

A boutique consulting service that embeds AI strategists into Nigerian public sector agencies and large enterprises for 8-12 week engagements. The service maps actual operational pain points (e.g., clinic patient flow, agricultural extension officer workload, tax collection bottlenecks), validates them with frontline staff, then designs and pilots a bespoke AI solution—not a generic tool. The consultant stays through pilot and trains internal teams to own it.

SERVICE

38 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the 'shiny tool' trap by forcing problem-first diagnosis before any AI is bought or built. Clients pay for clarity and a working pilot, not licenses. Public sector procurement officers can justify spend to budget committees because the consultant delivers a scoped, measurable pilot. Risk is shared: consultant's fee is partially contingent on pilot adoption by end-users.

Target Audience

Nigerian government ministries (Health, Agriculture, Finance), state agencies, large NGOs (Mercy Corps, SERAP), and Fortune 500 subsidiaries operating in Nigeria with 50+ staff and annual budgets >₦500M

Key Features

  • 8-week embedded engagement with structured problem-mapping interviews (frontline staff, managers, data custodians)
  • Feasibility report naming the actual AI intervention (e.g., 'OCR + rule engine for land title verification' not 'AI platform')
  • Proof-of-concept build or integration (consultant codes or orchestrates a vendor to code) tested with 20-50 real users
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Problem-mapping workshop facilitation skills (no software needed; use Google Sheets + Miro for remote sessions) Python/SQL for rapid PoC builds (OCR, classification, data pipeline prototypes) No-code/low-code platforms for pilot (e.g., Make.com, Zapier) to accelerate PoC without heavy engineering Basic data visualization (Tableau, Power BI) to communicate pilot results to stakeholders

Original Problem

Nigerian organizations struggle to identify and implement AI solutions that address real-world local problems instead of adopting generic global AI tools

Nigerian businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits lack frameworks to evaluate and build AI systems that solve their specific contextual challenges, leading to wasted investment in irrelevant AI projects. Current AI adoption focuses on following global trends rather than solving pressing local issues like healthcare access, agricultural productivity, or financial inclusion. Organizations need guidance on problem-first AI development that delivers measurable impact on lives.
