# We build AI strategy that ships.

For Saudi government entities and enterprises turning AI ambition into working systems.

Cicada reports on Saudi AI every day. That gives our advisors a current, detailed view of the market, the regulators and the vendors. We turn that view into decisions you can act on.

## What we do

### AI Strategy & Readiness

Assess where AI creates value in your organization, benchmark readiness against SDAIA's frameworks, and produce a prioritized roadmap with owners, budgets and milestones.

- AI readiness assessment
- Use-case discovery and prioritization
- Operating model and governance

### PDPL & Data Governance

Bring data practices in line with the Personal Data Protection Law and NDMO standards, so AI programs can move without compliance surprises.

- PDPL gap assessment
- Data classification and governance
- AI ethics and risk controls

### Vendor Selection & Procurement

Independent support choosing models, clouds and integrators: requirements, RFPs, scoring and contract terms, with local-content and data-residency rules built in.

- Requirements and RFP design
- Cloud, model and integrator evaluation
- Commercial and contract review

### Arabic LLM Deployment

Design and deploy Arabic-first generative AI: model choice, retrieval over your own documents, evaluation in Arabic, and hosting inside the Kingdom.

- Model selection and evaluation
- Retrieval and knowledge assistants
- In-Kingdom hosting and security

### KSA Market Entry

For international technology companies: market sizing, regulatory path, partner mapping and go-to-market for Saudi government and enterprise buyers.

- Market and competitor mapping
- Regulatory and licensing path
- Partner and channel strategy

## How we work

1. **Diagnose**: Interviews, data review and a readiness baseline in the first weeks.
2. **Design**: A roadmap, architecture and business case your leadership can approve.
3. **Deploy**: Pilot with real users and real data, measured against agreed targets.
4. **Scale**: Hand-over, training and governance so it keeps working after we leave.
