Services for owners and boards of established businesses

Advice, evidence, or a first build.

Pick the layer that matches what is in front of you: a board that needs an AI plan, a business that needs evidence before it spends, or a workflow that needs fixing now. Each offer has a fixed price or a written quote, and nothing reaches a customer without your approval.

The usual path: AI Board Briefing, then AI Strategy Sprint, then First Build Sprint, then ongoing improvement. 013BI and the Workflow Fix Review feed evidence into the sprint.

A clear boundary

We sell better operations, not artificial intelligence.

If a checklist, integration, or process change is enough, that is what we recommend. If AI can safely read, draft, compare, classify, or surface exceptions, we design it around the people already responsible for the work.

01 / Advise

Decide the plan before you buy the tools.

For owners and boards who must answer "what is our AI plan?". The Strategy Sprint ends in a board decision and a defined first build; the Briefing ends in a written brief; the Fractional Lead reports to the board each quarter.

Board session

AI Board Briefing

from $2,500

A 90-minute session with your board or leadership team and a written brief: where AI changes your economics, the three moves and three traps, and what to ask any vendor. Credited in full against a Strategy Sprint ordered within 30 days.

Ongoing

Fractional AI Strategy Lead

from $9,000/mo

A strategy lead who sits with leadership, prepares the roadmap, runs the vendor and build evaluations, and brings recommendations; your leadership decides. Written report to the board each quarter. Three-month blocks.

02 / Diagnose

Find the evidence before money is spent.

Two ways to see what is actually happening: across the company record, or inside one recurring workflow.

LOW-RISK ENTRY

Workflow Fix Review

$750 fixed price

One recurring workflow. One structured working session. One written decision you can use, with or without us.

  • Pre-session intake for one workflow
  • 60-minute session with the owner and up to three team members
  • Review of up to five representative workflow examples
  • Current-state map of steps, handoffs, systems, and exceptions
  • Assessment of value, feasibility, risk, and human review
  • Written recommendation: change the process, automate, use AI, or stop
  • High-level implementation range and next-step decision

Not included: software development, system access, vendor selection, or production deployment.

03 / Build and run

Build what earns its keep. Keep your team in control.

Pilots, the First Build Sprint, ongoing improvement and ready-made products. Each has an owner, a measure, and an off switch.

Focused operating pilots

Response, visibility, or capacity

Test one revenue-response, management-visibility, or administrative-capacity workflow with fixed boundaries and a measurement plan.

  • One sponsor and one bounded problem
  • A baseline, the tests it must pass and the point at which we stop
  • You decide whether the result counts as proof
  • Ends in your decision: stop, revise, put into daily use, expand, or return to a simpler process

Build

First Build Sprint

$14,000 fixed

Builds the first piece the plan chose: three working systems in four weeks, the ones your Strategy Sprint defined, built into the tools you already use, plus an owner's dashboard. Fixed price; you own everything at handover.

  • Week 1: after a Strategy Sprint, we start building what it defined; without one, we map where hours leak or money stalls and choose the three systems with you
  • Weeks 2–3: the three chosen systems built into the tools you already use
  • An owner's dashboard that reads like a short text message
  • Week 4: handover, tuning, and a written playbook; you own everything
  • Acceptance criteria agreed on day one
  • Milestone payments: deposit, midpoint, on acceptance

A First Build Sprint ordered within 30 days of a Workflow Fix Review is credited with the $750 fee in full. Nothing touches a customer without your approval, and everything we build has an off switch you can reach.

Support

Ongoing Improvement

From $1,500/mo

Measured optimization, maintenance, and a prioritized backlog after a successful implementation.

  • Monthly performance review
  • Controlled changes and testing
  • Issue triage and vendor changes
  • No automatic renewal
Your control

What never becomes a black box

We define what the system may do, what requires approval, where evidence is stored, and how a person can stop or reverse it.

  • Named workflow owner
  • Visible decision points
  • Explicit sensitive actions
  • Documented limitations
Ready-made

Products for recurring jobs

A sensible first build

Repetitive, visible, and important, but not irreversible.

Good first candidates: quote intake, follow-up preparation, document comparison, exception reports, recurring customer summaries. Start later with final hiring decisions, autonomous payments, clinical judgment, legal conclusions, or anything that cannot be reviewed or reversed.

Pilot capacity, pricing, timing, supported formats, and commercial terms are confirmed in writing; a request does not create an engagement.

Describe what you need

Tell us the decision or the work in front of you.

A useful note names the question your board is asking, or the workflow: who touches it, how often it happens, and what delay or rework costs you. We reply within two business days.

Submitting this form does not create an engagement or charge. Scope, availability, and commercial terms are confirmed in writing first.
