Who it's for Executives who want AI ownership inside the business but aren't ready to recruit for a role they can't yet write a job spec for.
The gap this fills
There’s a stage where a company needs someone accountable for AI, not a consultant with recommendations, and not a contractor clearing tickets, but someone who owns the sequence and ships against it.
Hiring for that is hard, because most companies can’t yet write the job spec. This is that role, rented, with a three-month floor so there’s time for the work to compound.
Half the fee from a preceding Strategy Engagement credits against the first two months.
How it runs
- 01
Embed
First two weeks inside the codebase and the operation. We map what exists, fix the quick wins, and calibrate what a month of real velocity looks like here.
- 02
Own the roadmap
A weekly cadence of shipped, demoed work. The roadmap is planned monthly and adjusted as things change, with the reasoning visible to you.
- 03
Hand over
Capability transfers as it's built, through documentation, training, and an internal owner, so the engagement can end without the work stopping.
What you get
- Roadmap ownership, so the sequence is maintained rather than written once
- Builds shipped against that roadmap on a weekly cadence
- Team enablement through training, prompt and skill maintenance, office hours
- Vendor and tooling decisions made and documented
- Governance and acceptable-use kept current as the surface grows
- A named person in your leadership conversations, not a ticket queue
What it is not
- Not a staff-augmentation contract billed by the hour
- Not a replacement for your engineering team
- Not a fixed-scope project; the roadmap moves as reality does
Not included
Stated here rather than in fine print, so scope expansion is a line item and never an argument.
- No hourly or day-rate billing
- No guaranteed feature list; capacity is planned monthly with you
- No 24/7 on-call or production incident response
- No recruitment, HR, or performance management of your staff
