FAQ
Answers to common questions

What does an AI Discovery engagement cost?

Engagement scoping and pricing are confirmed after an initial conversation. Most organizations begin with a focused discovery that establishes where AI will create value before committing to a full assessment.

Do you work with our existing tools and data?

Yes. Discovery is designed around your existing systems, documents, and workflows. We capture and govern knowledge from the sources you already have — we do not require you to replace them.

Is our data kept private?

Every fact captured about your organization stays in your private, governed knowledge graph. Access is limited to your team and your DBLU Customer Success Manager, and you approve every fact before it becomes part of your ontology.

Can our consulting team be involved?

Absolutely. DBLU is designed for co-delivery with consulting and implementation partners, and our partner program supports firms that want to bring the methodology to their own clients.
