Most AI Implementations Fail. Yours Doesn't Have To.
We help mid-market companies (20–200 employees) build AI strategies that actually deploy — starting with a 90-minute AI Readiness Assessment.
No obligation. No sales pitch. Just clarity on whether AI automation makes sense for your business.
How It Works
Every engagement starts with one thing: understanding your business before advising it.

Fractional AI Strategy
Ongoing strategic partnership. We act as your embedded AI advisor — roadmap ownership, vendor evaluation, team enablement. The strategic layer your business has been missing.
How We Work
We design the strategy. You execute with confidence. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Assess — understand before advising.
We map your operations, surface the constraints, and identify where AI creates real leverage. No assumptions, no templates — a clear-eyed view of your business first.
Strategize — design the path forward.
We turn the assessment into a prioritized AI roadmap: what to build, in what order, with what resources. You get a strategy you can actually execute — not a deck that collects dust.
Advise & implement — guide every step.
We stay in the room through execution. Whether your team builds or you bring in vendors, we provide the strategic oversight that keeps everything on track and aligned to outcomes.

Common Questions
Is the AI Readiness Assessment just a sales call in disguise?+
No. You receive a written deliverable — a prioritized process audit, vendor shortlist, and 90-day implementation sequence — within 48 hours of the session. The Assessment stands alone. Most clients use the output to build an internal business case, regardless of whether they continue with us.
We're already talking to AI vendors. Is it too late for an Assessment?+
That's actually the ideal time. Vendors present solutions for problems they can solve — they won't tell you which of your processes aren't worth automating, or flag where a competitor's tool is a better fit. The Assessment is vendor-neutral. It's designed specifically for teams already in evaluation mode.
What size company is this designed for?+
Mid-market companies with 20–200 employees where an operational leader (COO, Head of Ops, VP of a function) is driving the AI initiative without a dedicated AI team. If you're a 5-person startup, the Free AI Readiness Scorecard is a better fit. If you're an enterprise with an existing AI center of excellence, you likely need implementation support, not assessment.
What do we need to prepare before the session?+
Nothing formal. Come with a rough list of the top 3–5 manual processes that consume the most time across your team. We handle the rest — process mapping, tool research, sequencing, and the written output. The pre-session brief takes about 10 minutes.
Why $1,500? Couldn't we just ask ChatGPT?+
You could — and you'd get a generic list of "AI use cases for [industry]" that every other company in your vertical is also running. The value in the Assessment is specificity: your processes, your data infrastructure, your vendor relationships, your risk tolerance. The output is something you couldn't generate without knowing your business — and ours.
