Most enterprise AI pilots stall before sustained production. The ones that succeed share a pattern: workflow first, technology second, teams in the loop. These thirteen services are built around that pattern, from a 90-minute discovery through embedded fractional leadership and board-level governance.

Services in detail

S1 · AI Fit Discovery
90 minutes
What it delivers

An AI Opportunity Brief, two to three pages, answering three questions: is AI right for your situation, what is the highest-impact starting point and what does success look like and cost. Includes a 30-minute debrief with your decision-maker.

Why it matters

Most pilots stall because companies start with tools instead of the question of whether AI fits at all. We start with that question. You reach clarity at an entry price designed to prove value, not extract it.

Best forVP Operations, Chief Product Officer, VP Engineering, VP Technology
Next stepLeads to Readiness Assessment (S3) and Full Transformation (S8).
BundlingOften pairs with S3 Readiness Assessment for a locked discovery-to-readiness rate.
PricingFounding $4,950 · Standard $5,500
S2 · Executive AI Briefing
2 hours
What it delivers

A custom executive briefing deck, 20 to 30 slides, delivered live with your CEO or CPO. It covers the AI landscape in your industry, why most pilots fail on organizational design rather than technology, how team preservation drives sustainable implementation, what success looks like in your context and a three-month readiness roadmap.

Why it matters

Executives who understand organizational design become ideal partners for fractional leadership. This briefing bridges that gap.

Best forChief Executive Officer, Chief Product Officer, Chief Operations Officer
Next stepTypically leads to a Fractional VP engagement (S10) or deeper Discovery.
BundlingOften pairs with S10 Fractional VP for a clean executive-to-embedded transition.
PricingFounding $4,500 · Standard $5,000
S3 · AI Readiness Assessment
2 to 3 weeks
What it delivers

A 15 to 20 page readiness report auditing organizational readiness (work design, role structure, team capability), data readiness and governance readiness. It identifies blockers, maps 12-month implementation sequencing and assesses your team’s capacity for change.

Why it matters

Most AI implementation failures are organizational, not technical. This assessment surfaces those problems before they derail implementation.

Best forChief Operations Officer, VP Operations, VP Technology, Chief Risk Officer
Next stepOften converts to Full Transformation (S8).
BundlingPairs with S1 Discovery for a locked discovery-to-readiness journey, or with S4 Change Management to protect adoption.
PricingFounding $15,750 · Standard $17,500
S4 · AI Change Management
2 to 3 weeks
What it delivers

A complete adoption messaging framework: an AI adoption narrative for executives, a manager communication kit with objection handling, an employee education series of three to five modules, a change-readiness assessment and a 30-day internal communications calendar with email templates and all-hands agendas.

Why it matters

Team resistance is a leading cause of failed implementations. Honest, transparent messaging reduces friction, gives managers talking points and helps teams understand why the change is happening.

Best forChief Operations Officer, VP Operations, Chief Human Resources Officer, VP Communications
Next stepPairs with Full Transformation (S8) so adoption succeeds alongside the technical work.
BundlingBundled with S8 Transformation to strengthen adoption.
PricingFounding $7,200 · Standard $8,000
S5 · AI Talent Upskilling Roadmap
2 to 3 weeks (optional 8 to 12 week facilitation)
What it delivers

A strategic learning roadmap customized to your roles: a role-by-role AI skill assessment, a multi-month learning pathway of 8 to 12 weeks, resource recommendations (courses, certifications, internal coaches), adoption milestones with success metrics and a team-independence roadmap so your team is self-sufficient by month four.

Optional add-on: facilitation and coaching at $3,000 per month for three to four months, which you implement or hire a partner to deliver.

Why it matters

Upskilling is how teams become stronger, not smaller. Your people gain capability and your organization becomes more resilient.

Best forChief Operations Officer, VP Engineering, VP Product, Chief Human Resources Officer
Next stepOften paired with Fractional VP (S10) for executive oversight of capability building.
BundlingPairs with S10 Fractional VP to combine team capability with executive leadership.
PricingFounding $9,000 · Standard $10,000
S6 · Quick Wins Implementation
4 to 6 weeks
What it delivers

Two to three live AI workflows, chosen for highest impact and lowest risk, plus team training and a 30-day results report covering time saved per workflow, quality improvements, team adoption, cost savings and lessons learned.

Why it matters

Proof of concept. You see AI working in your real workflows, your team works hands-on and results land in 30 days, building the confidence to move to larger transformation.

Best forVP Operations, VP Engineering, Chief Product Officer
Next stepLeads to Ongoing Optimization (S9) for continuity, and often to Full Transformation (S8) in later quarters.
BundlingPairs with S9 Ongoing Optimization so adoption does not flatline. This pairing is required.
PricingFounding $24,750 · Standard $27,500
S7 · AI Workshop Series
Half-day (4 hrs) or full-day (8 hrs)
What it delivers

Customized workshop content tailored to your industry and workflows, with hands-on exercises, case studies relevant to your context and take-home reference documents. Follow-up Q&A by email or brief call within two weeks.

Why it matters

Education drives adoption. The team understands the why and the how, and the workshop becomes a catalyst for a change mindset.

Best forVP Engineering, VP Product, VP Operations, team leads and practitioners
Next stepEducation-first. Often leads to Discovery (S1) or Readiness Assessment (S3).
Bundling20% discount when paired with Full Transformation (S8) for an education-plus-implementation package.
PricingFounding half-day $3,150 / full-day $4,950 · Standard half-day $3,500 / full-day $5,500
S8 · Full AI Transformation Flagship
90 to 180 days
What it delivers

A complete AI implementation: two to five redesigned core workflows, restructured roles with updated job descriptions, process documentation, change management and communications, comprehensive team training and a 30-day proof point with an exit option. If you do not see value at day 30 you can pause with zero penalty, and the locked rate applies either way.

Why it matters

Comprehensive and structured. The 30-day proof point removes your risk, so you see real results before committing to the full journey.

Best forChief Operations Officer, Chief Product Officer, Chief Technology Officer (multi-stakeholder)
Next stepYour gateway to major organizational change, with 6 to 12 months of value delivery expected.
BundlingPairs with S3 Readiness for the full discovery-to-transformation journey, with S4 Change Management for adoption insurance, or with S9 Ongoing Optimization for 6 to 12 month continuity.
PricingFounding $67,500 · Standard $75,000 fixedOutcome-based: 15 to 18% of verified year-1 savings plus a $10,000 base
S9 · Ongoing Optimization & Advisory
Monthly retainer, 3-month minimum
What it delivers

Monthly touchpoints with metrics tracking: adoption monitoring, workflow optimization based on real usage, team coaching to address resistance, performance tracking (cost savings, time saved, quality, measured monthly) and roadmap updates based on progress.

Why it matters

Many implementations flatline after six months without support. Ongoing optimization keeps momentum alive and helps you hit your value targets.

Best forVP Operations, Chief Technology Officer (post-implementation)
Next stepThe 3-month minimum typically extends to 6 to 12 months and often doubles the value of the initial investment.
BundlingRequired pairing with Quick Wins (S6) and Full Transformation (S8) to sustain adoption.
PricingFounding $4,950/mo · Standard $5,500/mo
S10 · Fractional VP of Product Design + AI Strategy
3-month minimum (monthly) or fixed-scope project
What it delivers

Embedded executive leadership: strategic AI planning aligned to business goals, design-discipline oversight, real-time workflow optimization, team mentoring to build organizational design maturity, quarterly board-ready recommendations and operating-model design for how your team and AI work together.

Why it matters

Most companies have a CTO or VP Engineering but no strategic AI leadership with design discipline. You gain an executive who understands why teams matter and how to structure for success.

Best forChief Product Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Operations Officer (often co-sponsored by the CEO)
Next stepTypically starts at three months and extends 6 to 12 months into an ongoing strategic partnership.
BundlingPairs with Executive Briefing (S2) for CEO and CPO alignment, or with Upskilling (S5) for oversight of team capability building.

S11 · Implementation Redirect (Post-Pilot Recovery) Recovery
2 to 3 weeks
What it delivers

Root cause analysis of why the initiative stalled, a team sentiment assessment, a redirect strategy, a restart framework with clear roles and timelines, a team realignment plan and a 60-day reset roadmap with milestones.

Why it matters

Your pilot stalled. That is not failure, it is discovery. We help you restart smarter, with lessons learned and honest assessment rather than pushing harder.

Best forChief Operations Officer, Chief Product Officer, VP Engineering (frustrated with prior attempts)
Next stepLeads to Quick Wins (S6) to rebuild confidence, or Full Transformation (S8) with new insight.
BundlingHigh follow-on rate, since the client is already invested and motivated to succeed.
PricingFounding $13,500 · Standard $15,000
S12 · AI Risk Management
4 to 6 weeks
What it delivers

A governance framework built on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (NIST AI RMF), customized to your organization: a governance audit with gap analysis, an AI risk landscape assessment, a risk matrix (likelihood against impact), policy recommendations, presentation-ready board briefing materials and a 12-month governance roadmap with quarterly milestones.

Why it matters

Among executives who cut staff for AI, 55% report regret about how they planned the implementation (Forrester, 2026). Governance under the NIST AI RMF shows you are implementing responsibly, reduces legal risk and builds stakeholder confidence.

Best forChief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer
Next stepLeads naturally to the Quarterly Board AI Risk Brief (S13) for ongoing monitoring.
BundlingPairs with S13 Quarterly Board Brief for a multi-year governance engagement.
PricingFounding $18,000 (SMB) / $31,500 (mid-market) · Standard $20,000 (SMB) / $35,000 (mid-market) / $50,000+ (enterprise)
S13 · Quarterly Board AI Risk Brief Retainer
Quarterly retainer, 1-year minimum recommended
What it delivers

A quarterly board briefing of one to two hours: an AI risk landscape update, a governance effectiveness report (NIST progress against plan), a risk matrix update with mitigation effectiveness, two to three strategic recommendations for the next quarter and a risk mitigation roadmap.

Why it matters

Boards need confidence in AI governance. A quarterly briefing keeps it a standing agenda item, reduces the risk of ungoverned AI sprawl and positions the organization as thoughtfully managed.

Best forChief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Executive Officer (primary speakers), board members (audience), Chief Financial Officer
Next stepThe natural continuation of AI Risk Management (S12), creating ongoing board-level risk visibility.
BundlingNatural upsell from S12. Most governance clients continue to the quarterly brief for ongoing monitoring.
