Keep a senior AI partner involved as your tools and priorities change.
We live in AI so your team does not have to.
Keeping up alone
- A launch you hear about from a competitor
- Tools chosen from whoever advertised hardest
- Nobody with the hours to test anything properly
With a Fractional AI Lead
- The AI changes that matter to your work
- Tools tested before your team spends time or budget
- Clear decisions tied to your current priorities
What it costs to add this role in-house.
A Chief AI Officer is priced like one.
What US companies pay a Chief AI Officer, middle 50% of the market — before equity, and before the months it takes to find one.

And the salary is not the whole bill.

Almost everyone is trying to hire this role.
Organizations that have added new AI leadership roles, many of them while cutting headcount elsewhere. The demand is real, and so is the price it sets.

The decisions you should not be making alone.
Tool decisions
Build, buy, or ignore — argued out with someone who earns no commission on the answer.
Spend review
A standing look at what you pay monthly, and what stopped earning its seat.
Market watch
What changed that actually affects your work, filtered from the noise you have no time to read.
Team enablement
Short sessions that raise the floor, so AI is not one person's hobby.
Security and access review
Who can reach what, which tools hold your data, and the settings nobody has checked since setup.
Prompt and platform corrections
Prompts that drifted, steps that quietly stopped running, features you pay for and never use.
Every tool hand-reviewed before it can be recommended.
We compare every option against your workflow, budget, and team. Your roadmap includes the tools that fit and leaves the rest out.

FAQ
Questions before the call
What does a fractional AI lead actually do?
The job is decisions: what to adopt, what to cut, what to fix next. Calls and async access follow a cadence agreed in writing for your scope. Between those touchpoints, we test tools, read the market, and review spend and access. We do not build the platform here. That is AI Implementation.
How is this different from an agency?
An agency retainer buys production hours. This buys judgement. You are not paying us to make things — you are paying for the people who tell you which things are worth making, before the money is spent.
How is this different from hiring someone full-time?
A full-time AI leader is a C-suite salary plus benefits plus the months it takes to find one. You get a team's experience instead of one person's, on defined hours, cancellable with thirty days' notice. When AI decisions start taking a full week of someone's month, hire — and we will help you write the role.
What access do you need from us?
Only what a decision needs, always on your accounts with your data. Nothing runs on our subscriptions, so nothing leaves with us. Reviewing that access is part of the monthly work anyway.
How close is this, and how many companies do you take on?
Close. You deal with one person, with calls and async access on the cadence agreed in writing for your scope. We keep a deliberately small number of clients so that stays true — this only works if we know your setup well enough to have an opinion about it.
