Approach
We build, not just advise

Most AI consultants leave you with a strategy deck.
We leave you with technology that moves the business forward.

You don't need another readiness assessment. You need someone who can sit in the leadership seat, understand your operations, and ship a real AI solution into production.

That's the AI Operating Program. Fractional CIO on Monday, code in production by Friday. Same person. Same accountability. No translation layer.

pick the depth.
we handle the rest.

60-day build

one use case.
built & shipped.

60 days · single focus
$25k fixed scope

One high-value AI use case, identified, built, and deployed in 60 days. Single focus. Single win. Fast proof point.

  • Use-case selection & scoping
  • Build, test, and production deploy
  • Weekly leadership working sessions
  • Handoff documentation

advisors hand off to implementers. we're both.

That combination is rare. It's why companies choose us over advisory firms.

01
Operator

managing partner of an active IT services firm

Real operating context. Not a slide deck of best practices. We've shipped software for a living, not just talked about it.

02
Leader

experienced fractional CIO

We've sat in the chair. We can talk to your board, your CFO, and your floor supervisor, and translate cleanly between all three.

03
Builder

hands-on. we write the code.

The person scoping the use case is the person in the editor at 11pm fixing the prompt. No translation layer, no telephone game.
