FAQs.

North Group is an industry-agnostic AI consultancy built to work like your own AI department. We plan, build, and deploy AI strategy for growing companies in any sector, and we stay on to run it month to month if you want us to.

Owner-operated and mid-sized businesses across real estate and construction, consumer goods, hospitality, and home services and trades, along with other industries where one team or one person is carrying too much by hand.

North Group works with clients across North America, with offices in Toronto, Vancouver, and Los Angeles.

No. Clients range from single-location operators to national brands, and the engagement scales to the business, starting with a free audit rather than a fixed package.

Real estate and construction, consumer packaged goods, hospitality, and home services and trades, among others. Each industry page on this site walks through the outcomes and workflows for that kind of business.

It starts with a free 30-minute call, no commitment and no slides. We ask about how your team uses AI today and where it's likely to pay off, and that call decides whether a fuller engagement makes sense.

For most engagements, the next step is a focused week: interviews with your team, a workflow map, and a report on quick wins with the hours and dollars each one could save. From there, we agree on what to build first.

Real systems ship in weeks, not months, with your team trained on them as they go live. Ongoing engagements plan 60 to 90 days ahead, so the next build is already in motion before the last one is finished.

North Group is a small, hands-on team built around two co-founders, with AI strategy and engineering roles added as client work has grown. You work directly with the people doing the work, not layers of account management.

It depends on the engagement. Some run mostly in person, some mostly remote, and most mix the two. We set that with you at the start.

Ongoing engagements run on a monthly retainer, with scope set about a month ahead so you always know what's coming next.

Your data stays yours. It doesn't move to North Group's ownership at any point in the engagement, before or after.

Yes, and most engagements start there. We write an AI use policy specific to your business, often paired with an AI-in-hiring policy, and review it before it goes to your leadership or people team.

By role. Leadership, sales, and operating staff handle information differently and carry different risk when it goes into an AI tool, so we build a rule for each tier instead of one blanket policy.

We help you choose, working with your IT partner where you have one, inside the security posture your business needs. The goal is one sanctioned platform connected to the systems you already use, not everyone on their own subscription.

We can. Some engagements include a team plan with spend managed by your finance function, so usage stays visible instead of scattered across individual employee accounts.
