## About this market
Belfast has three AI consultancies and they could hardly be less alike in scale. Kainos is a FTSE 250 company founded here in 1986, employing roughly 3,475 people across 17 countries with more than 250 stated AI professionals, and is now among the largest suppliers of AI to the UK public sector by contract value awarded since 2018. Analytics Engines is a Queen's University spin-out working AI strategy, data science and data engineering, with 22 published case studies. Sonrai Analytics is the specialist, working precision medicine from the Titanic Quarter with roughly 11 to 50 staff.

This is a market where the size gap is the shortlist. Kainos runs framework-scale programs; Analytics Engines and Sonrai take work a company that size would not quote for. Analytics Engines is also the only firm here with a published rate, at around €45-85 an hour on Clutch—useful as an anchor, but ask the other two directly rather than assuming they sit nearby.
