Neural Garment Intelligence™ — Series B
YAFAI delivers the strategic clarity of a top-tier management consultancy at a fraction of the cost — which is still an enormous amount of money, spent very quickly, on something your team could describe but never quite finish.
Trusted by visionary brands across 14 undisclosed markets
The State of Fashion
The fashion industry produces 92 million tons of textile waste per year. This is a verified fact that everyone in the industry has seen in a deck and nobody has actioned.
Margins are shrinking. Customers are buying less. Resale is eating lunch. Also breakfast. Resale has been invited to stay.
Gen Z does not want new clothes. They want vintage, secondhand, or nothing at all — which is, frankly, very inconvenient for everyone in this industry.
Overproduction runs at 30–40% of all units made. The rest are landfilled, incinerated, or described in press releases as "archived."
The middle market is disappearing. Consumers are either buying luxury or nothing above €12. There is no plan for this.
These are serious, structural, multi-decade problems. A solution is clearly required.
Leadership convenes. The room is tense. Someone opens a laptop. Someone else orders artisan water.
"What if," someone says, "we did an NFT collection?" The room exhales. Budget is located within the hour.
That doesn't work. But the metaverse is completely different. The metaverse store opens to 261 visitors over 14 months. Eleven are employees. One is a journalist writing about failure.
A blockchain provenance pilot launches. It costs $800,000. It tracks four jackets. One jacket is lost.
AI is announced as the new strategic priority. The problems remain. The press release does not mention them.
Fashion doesn't need to understand AI. It needs to be seen funding it. And we are here to monetize that!

Intentionally generic. Impressively inapplicable to your specific brand, category, price point, supply chain, or market. Perfect for a board presentation.

Platform Capabilities
Our feature set was validated by two independent consultancies, a Big Four advisory arm, and a 14-person internal steering committee. Scope has since changed.
Generates a garment brief from a prompt. The brief is confident, vague, and will require a designer to re-do it from scratch — which is what would have happened anyway, just faster.
Produces sustainability scores reliably above 100%. The methodology is proprietary. The number looks excellent in the annual report. The auditors have not been invited back.
Every output is slide-ready, framework-shaped, and impossible to act on without a follow-up engagement. This is a feature, not a bug. The follow-up engagement is also billable.
Technically compatible with your existing systems. Practically, this will require its own project, budget, steering committee, and a vendor your IT team has never heard of.
Social Proof
These individuals have approved significant budget allocations for YAFAI. Their opinions are their own. Their contracts are non-refundable.
"Before YAFAI we spent €1.8M on a BCG engagement that told us to 'invest in digital.' YAFAI told us the same thing in 11 seconds for considerably more per second."
"We've now run three AI strategy pilots across two fiscal years. None are in production. All were described as 'foundational.' YAFAI's pilot is our most foundational yet."
"Our sustainability score went from 62% to 134% overnight. I don't know what that means. No one here does. But our ESG report has never looked better."
Innovation Pilot Program
Most enterprise AI transformations begin with a Proof of Concept. Ours are designed to feel complete enough to present at the all-hands, and open-ended enough to justify the next budget cycle.
Eight workshops. Forty-two stakeholders. One Miro board that will never be opened again. Budget: $180,000. Output: a shared vocabulary for disruption.
A working demo is presented to leadership. It generates one garment. Everyone agrees it is transformative. A second vendor is brought in to "validate the approach." Budget: $340,000.
The pilot is extended. New requirements are discovered. The original scope is described, retrospectively, as a "Phase Zero." A governance committee is formed. Budget: $510,000.
The system goes live for one market, one category, one user. Results are described as "learnings." A retrospective is scheduled for February. The original project lead has moved on. The contract is renewed. Budget: $290,000.
Total first-year investment: $1,320,000. Garments shipped: 0.
Ready to begin your overly expensive proof of concept that you will half-launch into production and quietly regret at year-end?

Pricing
