The criteria that matter when selecting an AI partner or consultant in Canada.

Choosing an AI partner in Canada is mostly about avoiding hype and finding someone who will scope honestly. Here is what to look for.
What good looks like
A good partner starts with your problem, not their product; scopes a measurable first use case; is honest about what AI can and cannot do; and respects Canadian privacy obligations. Beware anyone promising transformation without a use case.
Questions to ask
How will you scope the first project? Who owns the code and data? Can it keep data in Canada if needed? How do you handle PIPEDA and Quebec rules? What happens if AI is not the right answer?
On independence
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet. That independence is the point: honest advice about whether and how to use AI, not pressure to buy a particular product.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Canadian businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
