Vendor-neutral AI consulting, from finding where it fits to making it pay off.
Many ways to work together. The Constraint Analysis and the Workflow Opportunity Analysis find where the value is. Workflow Build rebuilds the workflows, Initiative Management runs the rollout, and Strategic Advisory keeps an independent voice on call. The Fractional Chief AI Officer provides AI strategy, executive oversight and Initiative Management within one day per week. Click any engagement or deliverable to read more.
Start with a Constraint Analysis if you are unsure what is holding the business back, or a Workflow Opportunity Analysis if you are ready to examine specific workflows. Choose the Fractional Chief AI Officer for ongoing AI leadership, or standalone Initiative Management when you already have a direction and need someone to manage delivery.
1 Constraint Analysis: one week to find the bottleneck capping your ROI before any workflow is mapped. Included in the Workflow Opportunity Analysis, and sold on its own.
We can also build an AI operating system for your company. And if you are launching a company, we can help you get set up and launch it in every area, as a fractional or virtual COO or co-founder.
I lead your AI implementation so you can get back to your real work.
You didn't get here by chasing every new tool. You got here by leading. Keep leading; I'll handle the AI. If you're spending nights and weekends trying to get up to speed on AI, and the pilots you've paid for still haven't shown up in the numbers, I can take that off your plate and get it across the finish line. I bring Fractional CPO experience to the seat.
$7,500 a month, one day per week. AI strategy, executive oversight and Initiative Management share that day; workflow build is scoped separately. Standalone Initiative Management is three days per week at $10,000 a month.
Book a Discovery CallMap one or two of your workflows, rank where the time actually goes, and get the number before you commit to a fix
We take one or two workflows and map how the work really moves through them, then rank every step by where the hours are going and what it would be worth to get them back. This is analysis and a plan, nothing else: no implementation, no tools bought, no systems touched. You get the number first and decide what to do about it second.
It ends in two figures:
With those you get the ranked list of workflows, what's driving the loss in each one, and the order we'd fix them in.
Three things at kickoff are what make any later before-and-after believable: we capture your current state as a written baseline, you sign that baseline so the starting number is yours and not ours, and we walk one real instance of one workflow end to end, from the request that starts it to the moment it's done.
$7,500, one to two workflows, three weeks, fixed price. It opens with a one-week Constraint Analysis that finds what is capping your ROI, so the workflows we map are the ones that matter. The Constraint Analysis is also sold on its own for $2,500. A larger scope is more of the same analysis, so we price it on the call.
And when you want the plan actually carried out, we can do that too: see Initiative Management below.
Book a Discovery CallSomeone senior to actually run the initiative and answer to you for it
This is where the plan from your Workflow Opportunity Analysis gets carried out. We run the delivery process, hold the timeline, and keep every budget decision visible to your executive sponsor, and you get a straight answer from us, not a filtered one. It's your team, our team, or a hybrid, always your call. Outside people are an option, never a requirement.
Two ways to run it: we lead it, or we assist while your own team executes. When the fix itself needs building, that is Workflow Build.
What we bring:
AI is optional here. The same leadership runs any initiative that needs a senior owner, from a product launch to a turnaround.
$10,000 a month, about three days per week.
Book a Discovery CallWe rebuild the workflows your analysis ranked, and measure what changed
Most teams have AI now; few get anything real from it. The gap isn't access, it's how the work is built. We rebuild 3 to 5 of the workflows that move your numbers, with AI as a working partner instead of a search box, and measure what changed against the baseline we agree on before the work starts.
Not the same build as the one below: Blueprint Stage 3 implements the company-wide operating system the Blueprint designed, while Workflow Build rebuilds specific workflows.
Quoted on the call. The price depends on how many workflows are in scope.
Book a Discovery CallAn independent strategist in your corner, month after month
When you need an independent voice but not a full engagement: someone to call when an initiative goes sideways, a vendor pitch sounds too good, or leadership wants a second opinion before committing budget. Ongoing, independent counsel from someone who's seen enough AI projects to tell a real opportunity from an expensive experiment.
$2,000 a month, 8 hours per month.
Book a Discovery CallA fixed-price design engagement for an AI operating system built around your business, and we can build it from there
Diagnostic - Stage 1: $5,000 and one week. It ends in a written yes or no on whether your business can carry a custom AI operating system, and what it would cost you to run one. A no stops the engagement there, and you keep the finding.
Blueprint - Stage 2: $7,500 and two weeks, and it runs automatically on a yes, so you commit once instead of twice. You get the target architecture, the agent roles and what each one owns, the governance model that decides what a machine may do unsupervised, and the build sequence in the order it has to happen. That's $12,500 in total if the diagnostic clears you, $5,000 if it doesn't.
Build - Stage 3: We can build it, as a separate engagement quoted against the plan you've already read. Signing for the first two stages doesn't commit you to it, and you're free to take the plan to your own team or any builder you choose. The proof is our own: Lurch™, an AI operating system already running five of our businesses.
See the Full EngagementStand up the whole operation, built right and built to move, from day one, with a fractional or virtual COO or co-founder in the seat
Starting something means doing twenty jobs at once. We stand up the operation and get it moving fast, so it runs like a much bigger company from day one. Not advice on a slide; we build the real thing with you, and the calls that need real judgment stay with people.
Note: Timing often depends on outside parties we don't control, like state filings and registrations. We move fast on everything that's ours to move.
The AI agent stack in that list has a name, and it already runs five of our own businesses: meet Lurch™.
Book a Discovery CallWe'll figure out where you are, what you actually need, and whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll say so on the call.
