How We Engage
Need senior AI guidance now? Start with our AI Snapshot, then use the fractional leadership path if strategy help is the best fit. There is a 10-hour minimum and no long-term commitment. Leadership rates are set in the intro call based on the decisions you need and level of involvement. Ready to build? Start with the Discovery Sprint and follow a clear path to production AI workflows. Track A implementation pricing is fixed because scope and deliverables are clearly defined.
Track A — Implementation Engagements
2 weeks
We assess your current operations, identify where AI workflows will create the biggest business impact, and deliver a prioritized roadmap with clear recommendations. You handle the legwork: stakeholder interviews and process documentation. We synthesize the inputs, sequence the work, and hand you a plan you can execute immediately.

Track B — Strategic Advisory
10-hour minimum · flexible schedule
Direct access to senior AI leadership for roadmap priorities, system design decisions, vendor evaluation, and executive alignment. We also turn decisions into build-ready workflow plans, dashboard requirements, and intake/routing plans. Each engagement starts with a short intake form so we come prepared. You get a written decisions-and-next-steps memo after every session. No retainer and no phased commitment.

What you get
Investment
Hourly
Rate is set in intro based on the decisions needed, leadership depth, and availability.
Team Lift
These engagements work when decision owners show up consistently. This is the practical staffing load by phase.
Discovery Sprint
Your team time: 2-4 hours/week for interviews, process walkthroughs, and one readout.
Who must attend: Ops owner, decision-maker, and one person close to schedule or queue execution.
What can block progress: Unavailable owner, unclear priorities, or delayed access to current workflows.
Architecture & Build
Your team time: 3-5 hours/week for implementation reviews, approvals, and escalation calls.
Who must attend: Named workflow owner, implementation lead, and budget authority for unblockers.
What can block progress: Slow approvals, no single owner, or unclear approval boundaries.
Managed Subscription
Your team time: 1-2 hours/week for performance reviews, priority setting, and owner updates.
Who must attend: Workflow owner plus one leadership person for monthly decisions.
What can block progress: No owner accountability, stale queue rules, or skipped weekly reviews.
Requirements
We're selective about who we work with. These are conditions, not preferences. Without them, the engagement will not produce outcomes worth paying for.
Not "we want to use AI." We need a specific measurable outcome: reduce X cost, increase Y completed work, or eliminate Z manual work within a defined timeframe.
Someone with budget authority and decision-making power must be available throughout the engagement. This cannot be blocked by committee or delayed for weeks.
Agents that no one trusts or adopts are worthless. We need willing participants. You do not need perfect processes, but you do need real openness to changing how work gets done.
Discovery starts at $7,500. If that number requires a months-long approval process, we're not the right fit for this stage. Serious engagements require real budget authority.
Scope
These protect the quality of what we build and ensure outcomes actually happen.
