## What is AI Solutions Partner?

The solutions-partner model goes beyond consulting in two ways: longer engagement (typically 12-36 months), and shared accountability for production outcomes (uptime, accuracy, compliance, cost). The partner often runs the system in production under a managed-service contract. This model fits regulated industries where the buyer needs continuity and a single throat to choke.

## How does AI Solutions Partner apply to enterprise AI?

Impetora positions as an AI solutions partner for enterprises that have moved past pilot stage and need a long-term operator with regulated-industry experience.
