Infuse AI with Confidence

This works best for mid-market B2B companies that are curious about AI but don't have a funded, multi-team program yet. You're probably a good fit if you're exploring AI opportunities, have scattered pilots but no clear strategy, or want executive-level AI guidance without hiring a full-time leader. If you already have a large AI team running heavy data engineering or custom ML every month, you may not need us, but we're happy to assess fit on a quick call.

We don't just advise, we deliver. You get fractional AI leadership and hands-on implementation (strategy, quick wins, builds, governance) in one engagement. We're outcome-first, not tool-first—starting with business problems, not AI capabilities. We transfer capability at every step so you build muscle, not dependency. And we're vendor-neutral, working in your existing stack rather than pushing specific platforms. Most importantly, we prove value fast: monthly quick wins, not endless pilots or reports.

It depends where you are. If you're exploring AI and want alignment, clarity, and a prioritized roadmap in a half-day or full-day session, start with a workshop. If you're ready to move from ideas to implementation (or you have scattered pilots that need strategic direction) Fractional AI Leadership is the right fit. Workshops can also be part of the Fractional engagement (we use them to align teams and kickstart initiatives). Not sure? Let's talk through it on a quick call.

Both. We provide fractional AI leadership and hands-on delivery—from strategy and roadmap to quick wins and pilot builds. We deliver micro-builds (custom GPTs, prompt packs, lightweight automations) within the retainer, and scope larger projects as needed. You keep the IP, and we transfer capability at every step so your team gets stronger.

Quick wins delivered monthly (automations, custom GPTs, workflow improvements), a prioritized 90-day roadmap with owners and KPIs, executive alignment on outcomes and guardrails, and a weekly cadence with simple dashboards tracking progress, cost, and adoption.

We use go/no-go gates to evaluate every initiative based on real usage, cost, and outcomes. If something isn't working, we tune it, pivot to a different approach, or retire it to avoid the sunk cost fallacy. Our goal is to prove value fast and scale what works, not chase endless pilots. You won't be stuck with a solution that doesn't deliver.

We’re vendor-neutral. We select based on your security, cost, and fit—whether that’s commercial APIs, your cloud’s AI services, or open-source—so the stack serves the outcome, not the other way around.

Absolutely. We never ask you to rip-and-replace your stack. We connect to your existing systems (databases, CRMs, ERPs, data warehouses, file shares, and spreadsheets) via standard connectors, secure SFTP, or APIs — and often build a lightweight AI extraction layer to provide flexible, model-ready access to your data.

Absolutely. We start with use cases that don't require perfect data, run a light data readiness assessment as we go, and upskill your team so you don't need to hire a whole new department. Most of our clients start with limited resources—that's the point of fractional leadership.

Governance is built in: least-privilege access, human-in-the-loop controls, audit logs, and approved vendors only. We can keep data in your cloud/tenant and follow your legal & privacy requirements.

We baseline KPIs, define success criteria for each use case, and track usage, quality, cost, and time saved in a dashboard. We use go/no-go gates to scale what works and retire what doesn’t.

We keep it light. You'll need an executive sponsor for decision-making and 3–5 hours per week from 2–3 subject matter experts (the people who know the workflows we're improving). We handle the heavy lifting—roadmap, vendor evaluation, builds, governance—so your team can stay focused on their day jobs. Most of the work happens in structured sessions (workshops, weekly check-ins) rather than ad-hoc interruptions.

We build buy-in through quick wins, not hype. By delivering small, visible improvements early (automations that save time, tools that make jobs easier), teams see AI as a helper, not a threat. We also include light change management—training, champion networks, and clear communication—so adoption sticks. Leadership alignment happens through workshops and regular cadence with simple dashboards. The goal is to prove value fast and build momentum organically.

An executive sponsor, access to a few key systems, and 3–5 hours/week from 2–3 subject matter experts. We handle the heavy lifting—you provide context, decisions, and feedback. We'll set up a simple governance checklist and a weekly rhythm to keep things moving.

 Not at all. Most engagements start with 3–6 months of Fractional AI Leadership. After that, you can scale up (expand to more use cases, add team capacity), scale down (move to advisory-only or project-based support), or transition fully to your internal team. We transfer capability throughout, so you're never dependent on us—but many clients choose to keep us engaged as their AI program grows.

 You get CAIO-level judgment, vendor negotiation, roadmap prioritization, and hands-on delivery—without the six-figure salary, benefits, or 6-month ramp time. We start delivering value in week one, transfer capability as we go, and scale our engagement up or down based on your needs.

"Fractional AI Leadership is delivered as a fixed monthly retainer (typically 3–6 months to start), with micro-builds and quick wins included. Larger implementations are scoped separately. Workshops are available as standalone engagements or as part of the Fractional model. We're happy to share specific pricing on a quick call based on your needs.
