# Big Blue Whale > Big Blue Whale is an AI solutions company that helps growing businesses around the world find where AI creates real value, then builds and deploys it with them. Practical, fast, and built around how each business already works. We do not work with enterprise clients. Our focus is entirely on small and medium-sized businesses between 5 and 250 employees. Big Blue Whale offers four core services: an AI readiness audit, custom AI solutions (workflow automations, AI assistants, reporting dashboards), team training and enablement workshops, and fractional AI advisory. Most clients start with the readiness audit, then move into a build. The typical engagement runs in weeks, not months. Readiness audits are delivered in 5 working days. Custom builds typically go live within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no platform lock-in and no requirement for a technical team to run the solutions we build.
