How WayaNerd Compares

The Big Four-class AI consulting practices (Accenture, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC and peers) offer enterprise AI strategy and implementation programmes — deep benches, global delivery, board-level credibility. Engagements are typically scoped in the hundreds of thousands of pounds with multi-month discovery phases before anything ships.

UiPath is the market-leading robotic process automation (RPA) platform — screen-level bots that automate repetitive rules-based tasks, with an enterprise studio, orchestrator and a per-bot licensing model. Powerful for high-volume back-office automation, but it's a platform you license, staff and maintain rather than an outcome you buy.

The do-it-yourself route: ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini subscriptions for staff, maybe an internal developer wiring an AI API into a workflow or two. Near-zero entry cost and great for individual productivity — but it's tooling, not implementation: no DPA, no architecture, no measurement, and it stalls the moment workflows get real.
