The Fractional AI Officer · From $1,500/mo

The AI industry changes every week.
That's now our problem, not yours.

Big companies hire a Chief AI Officer. You get the same seat — fractional. We keep your AI systems current as the platforms shift under them, keep your team inside the guardrails, keep the spend honest, and prove what it's all returning — every single month, in writing.

EVERY MONTH 01

The win report — what your AI actually returned.

Most automations die quietly because nobody measured them. Not here. We baseline every system before it goes live, then report every month in plain numbers: hours recovered, leads answered, jobs booked, dollars against the baseline. If something stopped earning its keep, the report says so — and we fix it or kill it.

EVERY MONTH 02

Platform watch — we re-point your systems when the ground shifts.

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot ship major changes monthly. Features you paid to build get absorbed; better, cheaper paths open up. Your AI Officer tracks all of it against your stack: when a platform now does something for $20 a seat that you're paying more for, we tell you and move you. When a new capability creates an opening for your business, you hear it from us first — not from a competitor using it.

PLATFORM WATCH — THIS MONTH
MOVEYour report drafting now native in your $20 plan — custom tool retired, $140/mo saved
OPENINGNew agent scheduling fits your dispatch workflow — scoped as a wedge, your call
HEADS-UPVendor pricing change hits your voice minutes in Oct — cap renegotiated
EVERY MONTH 03

Governance, guardrails, and the spend.

77% of small businesses using AI have no written AI policy. Yours will: what AI may touch, what it never touches, who approves what — written in plain English, kept current as tools change, ready to hand a client or an insurer who asks. And because AI billing has gone usage-based, we review the spend monthly so a success never quietly becomes a cost problem.

GOVERNANCE — STANDING
CURRENTAI policy v4 — updated for new browser-agent permissions
SCOPEDEvery agent runs on its own least-privilege credentials — nothing runs as "you"
$487/mototal AI spend, reviewed — down $61 after model tiering
EVERY QUARTER

Re-assessment and priority builds.

Each quarter we re-run the readiness lens on your business: what changed, what's next, what to stop. Retainer clients get priority on Wedge Sprint builds — new automations from your roadmap land at the front of the queue, at retainer rates. Your AI capability compounds instead of going stale.

QUARTERLY — NEXT UP
Q4 PLAYEstimate follow-up wedge — 9 hrs/wk on the line, KPI drafted
SCOREReadiness 6.1 → 7.4 since March — security gap closed
DECISIONOne recommendation carries the tag — you approve, we build

$1,500–$3,500/month by size and scope. Quarterly commitment.

The seat follows an AI Business Assessment — that's where the baseline and the roadmap come from, and assessment clients get their fee credited toward the first quarter. Most clients land around $2,000/month. If a month ever doesn't justify itself in the win report, that's a conversation we start — not one you have to.

Who Takes This Seat

For owners who want AI handled — not another hobby.

You've felt the whiplash

You set something up, the industry moved, and it's stale in a quarter. That churn is exactly what this seat absorbs.

You have systems running

Automations, agents, an AI-assisted office — someone needs to own uptime, accuracy, and improvement.

Your clients ask about AI

You need governance answers in writing — what AI touches, what it doesn't — without hiring a compliance person.

You want one throat to choke

One accountable person across every platform and vendor. Not five subscriptions and a prayer.
