Ongoing support, whenever you need it
ASTU LABS ADVISORY
Astu Labs Advisory is an ongoing service for organisations that want an outside perspective and support in leading AI transformation. We can serve as a member of your AI team or as an advisor, help coordinate the whole, act as a sounding board for decisions, and keep you up to date on changes in the AI landscape and regulation. The service runs on a retainer model starting from €2,000/month, and it comes with a simple principle: ask anything, anytime – no separate engagement, no hour counter.
What value does an outside partner bring to AI transformation?
Experience from dozens of organisations, not just your own. Every week we see how others are solving the same questions. You don’t need to repeat their mistakes to learn from them.

All of Astu Labs’ expertise at your disposal. Instead of one expert, you get all of us. Each of our consultants has different strengths that complement one another — support always comes from the person best placed to solve your problem.

Resources scale with your needs. Sometimes the need is lighter; at other times a tighter, more intensive push is called for.

An outsider asks the questions that go unasked internally. It’s easy to become blind to your own ways of working. We are not prisoners of your organisation’s history or internal dynamics.

We follow the field so you don’t have to. We tell you which changes in technology, best practices and regulation concern you specifically — and what they should mean in practice.

Astu Labs Advisory in practice
Astu Labs Advisory is for you if you want a sense of control, clarity, or simply someone who keeps hold of the threads. With us, you can trust that there is always someone to turn to when a decision calls for it.

The Advisory service is the right choice when at least one of these is true:

  • Leadership wants confidence that decisions are based on up-to-date knowledge of the AI landscape and regulation.
  • Responsibility for AI rests on one person’s shoulders, and they need a sparring partner they can ask anything.
  • An AI team or lead has been named — or is about to be — but the work isn’t progressing or the direction is unclear.
  • The organisation has skills and enthusiasm, but no one coordinates the whole: trainings, experiments, purchases and ground rules.
  • Hiring a full-time person isn’t seen as a worthwhile move.

Astu Labs Advisory can include

  • Proactive updates on matters that concern you, such as regulation and technology
  • An always-on support channel – ask anything, anytime
  • Commenting on documents
  • A reasonable amount of expert work – wherever help is needed at the time (governance models, leadership, trainings, processes)
  • Participation in meetings, such as internal AI groups or leadership teams

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Someone does need to own it, but a full-time hire is rarely necessary — especially in SMEs. CEOs are increasingly the most important AI decision-makers (BCG AI Radar 2026), because AI has proven to cut across the entire organisation.

In most SME organisations, a named AI specialist is not a full-time job, especially in the long run. At Astu Labs we believe AI will seep into all work, and what matters is that everyone develops their own work with AI’s possibilities in mind. Advisory supports exactly this change: helping make AI as natural a part of everyday work as possible.

The service runs on a retainer model starting from €2,000/month. A typical ongoing client relationship with Astu Labs costs €3,500–7,500/month depending on your needs. VAT at the applicable rate is added to all prices.
