The AI leadership role you can't hire.
Companies are posting $200-350K for Director of AI roles and waiting months to fill them. We start next week.
What you get
Embedded AI leadership. Not advice from the sidelines. Hands-on strategy and architecture from people who've been building production AI systems across multiple domains. Discovery sessions run AI-powered analysis tools to generate real-time insights, not slide decks after the fact.
Workflow audit
We map your current operations and identify where automation creates the most value. What needs an LLM, what's traditional software built fast, what stays manual.
AI roadmap
Prioritized plan for what to build, in what order, with what tools. Scoped, sequenced, and tied to business outcomes, not a strategy deck that sits on a shelf.
Tool evaluation
Claude Code, Cursor, RAG, agents, vector databases, fine-tuning. We cut through the noise and tell you what actually works for your use case.
Team guidance
Help your engineering teams adopt agentic development practices. Not training slides. Working alongside them on real projects.
Architecture
Hands-on system design for the first build. Multi-agent orchestration, data pipelines, integration patterns. We architect it and guide the implementation.
Build vs. buy decisions
The cost of building dropped 90%. That changes every build-vs-buy calculation you've ever made. We know which ones flipped.
The math
Full-time hire
$275K+/year

How it starts
Discovery call
Free 30-minute conversation. We learn about your operations, your team, and where AI fits. No pitch, just listening. If there's a fit, we scope an assessment.
Operations assessment
Two-week engagement. We observe how your team actually works, interview stakeholders, evaluate your tech stack, and deliver a prioritized roadmap with specific recommendations and ROI projections. Fixed fee, credited toward the full engagement if you proceed.
Ongoing engagement
Embedded AI leadership, hands-on architecture, and team guidance. 90-day sprints with defined deliverables. We build alongside your team so the methodology transfers, not just the output.
