Stop Pitching AI Ideas. Start Deploying Systems That Move Your P&L.

Mid-sized businesses don't need more theoretical strategy decks or fragile chat demos. We provide the senior AI judgment to pick the right problems, design secure systems around them, and get them into production where they lower your operating costs and accelerate your revenue.

Services

Senior judgment at every phase. Most clients start with the Audit, prove the idea in a Safe-Box, then take it to production, with ongoing technical oversight to keep it honest. No 18-month roadmaps, no science projects.

Phase 1 · Strategy

The AI Opportunity Audit

The Problem:Most companies pick AI projects based on hype rather than math, resulting in wasted development budgets and useless prototypes that never make it to production.
What You Get:
  • The Business Impact Matrix
  • The Data Gap Assessment
  • The 90-Day Execution Roadmap
How it works

Phase 2 · Design

The Safe-Box Prototype

The Problem:Building complex automation is risky; testing raw AI models on live customer data can lead to brand-damaging mistakes and security leaks.
What You Get:
  • The Prototype Blueprint
  • Data Privacy Guardrails
  • Acceptance Tests
How it works

Phase 3 · Productionize

Production Readiness

The Problem:Boardroom demos are easy to build, but real operational software must handle high volume, integrate with existing databases, and stay accurate over time without breaking.
What You Get:
  • Production Architecture
  • Monitoring Plan
  • Go-Live Review
How it works

Ongoing · Oversight

Fractional AI Director

The Problem:Mid-sized businesses need professional-grade technical oversight to scale AI safely, but they cannot justify the $300k+ cost of a full-time executive hire.
What You Get:
  • Vendor Vetting Reports
  • Architecture Decision Records
  • Ongoing ROI Tracker
How it works

Audits start at $8,500. Fractional AI Director engagements from $5,500/mo.* Prototype and production work is scoped after the Audit. Every engagement is fixed-scope and priced before work begins.

*Advisory tier, approximately two days per month. Larger time commitments are scoped and priced accordingly. Advisory engagements do not include writing code or reviewing your team's output; hands-on build time is scheduled and quoted separately.
