PVT Consulting pairs a complete, explicit strategy method with an AI agent firm doing the legwork — senior people from first call to final delivery, honest about where AI fits and where it doesn't.
PVT Consulting is an independent AI strategy and implementation practice founded by Pedro van Tol. It exists to deliver serious, well-reasoned work — strategy, AI adoption, and the build to back it up — without a big firm's overhead, timeline, or roster of juniors.
No big-firm overhead and no big-firm timeline. Decisions get made and work gets scoped in the first conversation.
You work with senior people from first call to final delivery — no handoff to juniors you never met.
A senior team amplified by an AI agent firm doing research, modeling, and synthesis — not a roster of junior staff.
Every engagement starts with a fitness assessment. PVT says where AI doesn't fit, in writing, before anything is built.
Engagements are scoped and priced to the decision in front of you, not to hours on a timesheet.
A reviewer panel and an accuracy ledger run on every engagement — the discipline a senior partner would bring, applied every time.
Pedro spent 25 years producing live events — live broadcasts and large-scale productions where the plan has to hold in real time, in front of audiences of 20,000 to 50,000. Run-of-show, show-calling, technical direction, and multi-million-dollar production budgets held against tight margins: the discipline of getting complex, high-stakes work to land on the day, not in a deck.
Then he built the software. He designed and shipped ShowOps.AI — an AI-native operations platform for large-scale live-event broadcast infrastructure, built on Claude: thirteen modules, roughly 474 API endpoints, and an AI-agent layer with per-tenant learning and human-in-the-loop review. The strategy and the build come from the same person.
That is the practice: senior operator judgment from decades of high-stakes execution, paired with hands-on AI engineering — someone who has owned multi-million-dollar budgets and now builds production AI on Claude every day. He is currently pursuing the Claude Certified Architect credential. You work with that person from first call to final delivery, with no handoff to juniors you never met.
Underneath every engagement is the same operating model: an AI agent firm doing the heavy lifting, a reviewer panel checking the work before you see it, and an accuracy ledger holding the practice to what it predicted.
Research, modeling, and synthesis run through an AI agent team, so the work is thorough and fast without a bench of junior staff.
Before any work reaches you, a panel of checks runs against it: logic, sources, risk, responsible AI, and client fit.
Predictions are reconciled against outcomes, engagement after engagement — most firms never measure whether they were right.
A complete, twelve-stage method you can read before you sign. See The PVT Method for the full walkthrough.
Responsible AI is built into the method, not bolted on — see Responsible AI for the full commitments.
The same approach behind PVT built ShowOps.AI — an AI-native operations platform for large-scale live-event broadcast infrastructure, with a Claude-powered agent layer, per-tenant learning, and human-in-the-loop review across 13 modules and roughly 474 API endpoints.
It's a separate company we founded, not a client engagement — but it's the clearest proof that this way of working ships serious, production-grade Claude systems that other shops staff with a full team.
Tell us the decision in front of you. We'll tell you where AI fits, what it would take, and whether PVT is the right team for it — before you commit to anything.
