Loading.A big consultancy is strong on strategy and weak on production — it defines a target and hands you specs to implement, often by people who haven't shipped agents themselves. tsukumo works the other way: we run AI agents in your actual repo, in production, and leave your developers able to keep running them without us. Pick the firm for board-level strategy; pick tsukumo to get agents working in production.

| tsukumo | A big consultancy | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the work happens | In your repo, in production, against your standards | In decks and specs; implementation handed to you or offshore |
| Who does it | Developers who ship agent fleets on their own products | Strategists and analysts; the builders are often a separate, junior tier |
| What you're left with | Your team operating agents independently | A strategy document and a dependency on the next engagement |
| Typical cost | Scoped engagement + optional retainer, mid-market sized | $200–500K+ programs |
If you need an organization-wide transformation across many departments, board-level strategy with a brand name procurement already trusts, or change management for thousands of people, a large firm is built for that and we're not. Our wedge is narrower and deeper: getting a dev team actually running AI in production. (For the noisy "we do all AI" generalist shop rather than a big SI, see tsukumo vs a generic AI agency.)
or have us build it — same capability, the other door
