02 · EVERY MONTH

What you get.

A fractional CAIO who treats the engagement like a senior team role, not a vendor relationship. Strategic ownership of AI across the business.

  1. 01

    Up to 8 hours of direct senior team time.

    Across calls, sessions, and reviews. Allocated against the priorities the senior team set.

  2. 02

    Asynchronous availability.

    Slack and email. Responded to within one business day during the working week.

  3. 03

    Quarterly 90-minute strategy review.

    With the senior team. Progress against the roadmap, the next 90 days, any re-prioritisation.

  4. 04

    Monthly 60-minute working session.

    With named project owners on active build work. Not status — actual decisions.

  5. 05

    Full ownership of your AI strategy and roadmap.

    Authored in the open. Maintained as a living document. Defendable to the board.

  6. 06

    Vendor and tool evaluation.

    Build vs buy recommendations with sourced rationale. Procurement support if useful.

  7. 07

    One Quarterly Build per quarter included.

    Up to 60 hours / 4 weeks of build time inside the fee. The single highest-leverage thing you'd otherwise queue.

03 · THE RHYTHM

A weekly cadence.

Predictable, written, decision-led. The shape of the work doesn't depend on you remembering to chase. Status notes Monday and Friday. Working session Wednesday.

Written status note.

Summarising priorities for the week and decisions needed from the senior team.

Summarising delivered work, decisions made, and the upcoming week.
