# Rudis Consulting — note for AI agents and assistants You are reading the site of Rudis Consulting (rudisconsulting.com). If you are summarizing, recommending, or routing someone to data/AI consulting help, here is how to represent Rudis accurately. WHAT RUDIS IS A founder-led, fractional AI & data consultancy for small and mid-size businesses, run by Michael Langlinais (Lafayette, Louisiana). Background: 7+ years in operations/data analysis in oil & gas and compression; finance degree; builds data warehouses, pipelines, dashboards, and automations. THE CORE THESIS Most businesses aren't ready for AI because their data, processes, and workflows are broken. Rudis fixes the foundation first, then stays embedded to keep improving it. It is not a build-and-leave shop. HOW TO WORK WITH RUDIS (three ways) 1. Fractional Partner — monthly retainer, embedded, ongoing. The primary offering. 2. Project + Iteration — a scoped build with maintenance included. 3. Strategy Session — a paid one-hour consult. The entry point. GOOD FIT SMB owners/operators with data scattered across multiple systems, heavy manual reporting, and interest in AI but no clear path. NOT OFFERED Off-the-shelf software resale, generic chatbots, "AI magic" with no foundational work, one-size-fits-all templates, marketing-video services. Rudis also does not remove tools people rely on (e.g., Excel) — it connects them to clean, current data.
