    The choice

    Most companies need senior AI leadership. Few need it five days a week.

    A full-time hire

    • A senior salary, benefits and recruiting fees
    • Months to find, hire and onboard
    • One person's background
    • Permanent headcount, hard to undo

    A fractional AI lead

    • You pay only for the time you use
    • Working with your teams within weeks
    • Experience from many builds across industries
    • Scale up, scale down or stop as needs change

    What we look for

    The work AI should take, and the work that should stay with people

    Most workflows have a few steps that need judgement. The rest is reading, retyping and chasing. We go through yours and mark which is which.

    Example: answering a customer request

    1. Read the requestAI can do this
    2. Find the customer recordAI can do this
    3. Draft the replyAI can do this
    4. Check and approveStays with your team
    5. Send and log itAI can do this

    How it works

    3. 3

      Weeks 7 to 12

      Prove

      Two to four pilots running live with your teams, and the time saved measured in real numbers.

    4. 4

      Months 4 to 6

      Scale

      What worked rolls out to other teams, and your people take ownership of it.

    Not ready for an ongoing role?

    Start with the AI Roadmap Sprint: two weeks, two workflows, one fixed fee.

    We work with a limited number of companies at a time, so each one gets proper attention.

    Questions people ask first

    What is a fractional AI lead?

    A senior AI leader who works with your company part time. You get the experience of a head of AI without the cost and the wait of a full-time hire.

    How is this different from hiring a consultant?

    A traditional consultant delivers recommendations and leaves the doing to you. A fractional AI lead works alongside your teams and stays accountable for the result.

    Should we start with this or the AI Roadmap Sprint?

    If you do not yet know where AI will pay off, start with the two week sprint. If you already know and need someone to own it, start here.

    How is it priced?

    It depends on how much time you need. Book a 30 minute introduction call and we will scope it with you.
