AI LEADERSHIP
A senior AI expert on your team, without the full-time hire.
Every company now faces real AI decisions - what to buy, what to build, what to ignore - and most have nobody who can make them. We give you a part-time AI director on a fixed monthly fee, with a build team behind them.
WHO IT'S FOR
You have the business. You're missing the seat.
- AI decisions land on your desk by default, not by expertise.
- A full-time hire for this would cost more than it's worth - and the good ones won't join a company your size anyway.
- Vendors are selling you things and nobody on your side can call their bluff.
- The board asks about AI and the answer is improvised every time.
If three of those four sound familiar, this page is for you.
WHAT YOU GET
What we own when we sit down.
In the trade this role is called a fractional Chief AI Officer (fCAIO). Here's what yours owns:
OWNS
A plan you can read
What AI will do in your business, in what order, at what cost - reviewed every month.
CALLS
Buy it or build it?
We've sat on the vendor's side of the table. Bluffs get called before you sign.
OVERSEES
Your tech team, made effective
If you have one, we make it productive. If you don't, we tell you honestly whether you need one.
REPORTS
A monthly report with numbers in it
Who's using AI, what's been built, what it's saving, what could go wrong.
THE TEAM BEHIND IT
Strategy and delivery, from the same team.
Behind the seat, three workstreams carry the roadmap from decision to production. The people who write it are the people who build it, which keeps it honest.
Audit and roadmap
We map how work actually flows through your business, find the efficiency gaps and rank them by return. You get a costed, sequenced roadmap, not a list of ideas.
AI that does the work
Systems that handle whole jobs: the quote that writes itself, the inbox that sorts itself, the report that compiles itself. We build them and put them live.
Change that sticks
New flows fail when nobody owns them. We train the people around each flow and hand over the controls deliberately, not by disappearing.
HOW IT WORKS
Mission Control: a fixed monthly cadence, not a pile of hours.
Mission Control is how the engagement runs. Four phases, every month, same order:
Your leadership sets the priorities. Thirty minutes, decisions made.
The right people briefed, the month's work scoped and owned.
The work ships: roadmap items, working AI systems, vendor decisions, fixes.
What we did, what it changed, what's next. With numbers in it.
You always know what you're paying for, because you read it once a month.
YOUR FIRST MONTH
Month one, in plain terms.
The first weeks follow the Launch Sequence: a deep readout of your stack, your team and your operation, conversations with the people who actually do the work, then your Flightpath: a 90-day roadmap with priorities, costs and owners. After that the monthly rhythm takes over. By month two you forget we were ever new.
THE SHAPE
Engagement terms, no surprises.
Monthly retainer, three-month minimum, scale up or down as the roadmap demands. One senior counterpart, founder-level involvement. We don't do timesheets and we don't bill for phone calls.
After the minimum, stop at any month-end, no penalty, no exit fee. Everything we've built lives in your repositories and your accounts, owned outright, and keeps running without us. The confidence is in how easy we are to leave.
