What does Meditari advise on?

The Meditari AI advisory practice covers three services: AI strategy, AI capacity and AI execution. Capacity is our flagship service. We dimension capacity requirements, size compute commitments, review AI model contracts, run vendor selection and set cost governance that finance can audit. Meditari does not deliver the build. We work through our execution partners, or collaborate with yours.

The engagement model

Every mandate runs through the same four steps.

Assess

We map the workload, the budget and the constraints.

Recommend

We size the commitment and choose the route to compute.

Structure

We set the contract terms and the cost governance.

Oversee

We hand over the delivery to one of our execution partners, or work through yours, and hold it to the terms we set.

AI strategy advisory

Where should AI investment go?

Leadership needs to know where AI creates value and where it does not. We test the business case, set priorities against budget, and put a plan in place that the finance team and the board of directors can follow. The result is a clear order of investment.

Business case and value mapping.

Investment priorities.

Build, buy or partner decisions.

Board and finance alignment.

AI capacity advisory

How much compute, on what terms?

AI capacity is where compute meets contract. We dimension how much you need, determine how to buy it and hold your vendors to the terms. We compare the routes to compute, model the cost over the life of the workload, and help you set up governance so that you can manage and optimise the cost. Capacity was one of the terms Meditari negotiated for regulated mobile entrants, and the questions have not changed from telecoms to AI.

AI execution advisory

Who executes, and on what terms?

Meditari does not execute or build AI solutions itself. We set the scope, structure the terms and manage the change through to an operational solution. Delivery is carried out by an execution partner appointed for the work: one of our vetted execution partners, or one the client has already chosen. Either way, the delivery is based on the client requirements and the terms and specifications that we set.

Partner selection and appointment.

Statement of work and terms.

Delivery oversight.

Cost and quality governance.

Common questions

Who does Meditari work with?

Government and semi-government bodies, telecoms operators, banks, multinationals and large family groups. Meditari is based in Dubai and works across the Gulf and Europe. The decisions we advise on are taken at the board or in the C-suite, so our engagements are senior by nature.

Does Meditari deliver the build?

No. We assess the needs and requirements, recommend the route and strategy, structure the specifications and terms, then hand over to an execution partner appointed for the delivery, which we then oversee.

When should an organisation talk to Meditari?

Before a compute commitment is signed or renewed, when a workload moves from pilot to production, when AI spend is growing faster than anyone can explain, when a vendor proposal needs testing before it goes to the board, and when the person who will own all of this has not been hired yet.

How does Meditari apply telecoms experience to AI?

Meditari took regulated mobile entrants from licence application to launch across the Gulf, negotiating with governments and regulators, incumbent operators, vendors and investors. Compute is bought and sold much as bandwidth was, with spot prices and committed terms, oversupply and shortage, and contracts that reward whoever understands the curve. The questions a buyer must answer have not changed.
