STRATEGY TO SYSTEM
Not every engagement starts with AI
Aries is a full B2B consulting firm first. Traditional strategy and process work is a standalone service — and the natural on-ramp to a custom AI-native build when you're ready.
- The front door
Traditional B2B consulting
Sales process optimization, enterprise strategy, market analysis, and CRM implementation — drawn from 20+ years of strategy work at Altria and Amazon. Engage it on its own, no platform required.

AI-native platform builds
When the strategy is clear, Aries builds AriesOS — a custom, modular operating system with AI embedded in every module, replacing the fragmented SaaS stack most SMBs are drowning in.

FAQ
AI consulting in Phoenix — common questions
Aries Consulting Group is a Phoenix-metro AI consulting firm based in Gilbert, Arizona, serving founder-led companies ($2M–$50M revenue) across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. Founded by Adam Waslefsky (20+ years of enterprise strategy at Altria and Amazon), Aries combines traditional B2B consulting with custom AI-native platform builds — and has six live AI platforms already in production. Engagements range from 2–3 week AI Readiness Audits to fully custom AriesOS platform builds and monthly fractional AI strategy retainers.
Aries Consulting Group builds custom, AI-native software (AriesOS) for small and mid-sized Phoenix-area businesses. Instead of bolting AI onto off-the-shelf SaaS, Aries builds a unified, modular operating system with AI embedded in every module — designed around how your business actually runs and built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for the agentic era.
It depends on scope. An AI Readiness Audit is a $7,500 fixed-fee, 2–3 week engagement; fractional AI strategy retainers start at $4K/month with no long-term commitment; and full AriesOS platform builds are scoped per project. Most Phoenix-area engagements start with an audit so the investment is grounded in a clear, prioritized roadmap before any build begins.
Yes. Aries is headquartered in Gilbert, AZ and serves the entire Phoenix metro — Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, and Peoria. Working sessions can be in person across the Valley or fully remote, depending on what works for the founder and team.
Aries focuses on founder-led SMBs in field services, recruiting, wholesale and distribution, professional services, manufacturing, and hospitality — the operationally stressed, growing companies that make up much of Arizona's mid-market.
Both. Aries offers standalone traditional B2B consulting — sales process optimization, enterprise strategy, market analysis, and CRM implementation — drawn from 20+ years of enterprise strategy work at Altria and Amazon. Many Phoenix-area engagements begin with this consulting work and evolve into a custom AI-native platform build (AriesOS), but the consulting can be engaged entirely on its own.
Yes. Plenty of engagements start with a consulting or strategy diagnostic well before any AI is built — clarifying your sales process, market position, and operations first. AI gets introduced only where it actually moves the needle, so you're never paying for technology your business isn't ready to use.
