About

Hi, I'm Allison Gale.

I started Tsubaki AI Consulting to give small and mid-sized businesses a clear, honest path into AI — sized for them, not borrowed from an enterprise playbook.

"Most AI advice is written for companies ten times your size. I wanted something built for the businesses actually asking me about it."

Tsubaki AI Consulting is a startup, and I mean that as a feature, not a caveat. I built this practice because I kept seeing the same gap: small and mid-sized businesses hearing they need an "AI strategy," but finding only two options — enterprise consulting priced for a much bigger company, or generic tool tutorials that skip the strategy part entirely.

I started Tsubaki to close that gap directly. Every engagement begins with your business as it actually runs today — its real data, its real team, its real budget — not a hypothetical enterprise version of it. My focus is exclusively on businesses your size, which means the strategy I build with you is one your team can actually carry out.

How I work

Three things I hold to on every engagement

Clarity over hype

You'll always know exactly what I recommend, why, and what it costs — in plain language, not vendor slides.

Fit over fashion

The right AI strategy is the one your team can actually run. Not the one that reads best in a pitch deck.

Partnership over pitch decks

I stay involved through implementation. A roadmap that gets handed off and forgotten isn't a finished job.
