Services

Most engagements start with a readiness assessment and move into one or more of the areas below — but if a project is already underway and you need senior capacity rather than a diagnosis, that works too.

AI Readiness Assessment

Find out what your AI program is actually ready for — before you spend six figures finding out the hard way.

What it covers
01

AI Strategy & Roadmapping

A sequenced roadmap with named owners and honest estimates — not a slide deck that sits in a drawer.

View approach
02

Data Foundations & Governance

Lineage, quality, and governance built to carry AI workloads — the layer most AI programs discover too late.

View approach
03

AI Governance & Compliance

Governance mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act — written by someone who has built the systems being governed.

View approach
04

AI Platform & Application Development

Production-ready AI systems that integrate with your existing infrastructure — evaluated before launch, observable after it.

View approach
05

AI-Augmented Engineering

AI pointed at your delivery process — feature decomposition, commit-level quality gates, and documentation that stays current.

View approach
06

Course & Curriculum Development

Technical curricula built as engineering systems, so a course can be corrected in an afternoon instead of rebuilt every few semesters.

Fractional AI Leadership

Many organizations need someone accountable for AI who can sit in a leadership meeting in the morning and review an architecture decision in the afternoon. Very few need, or can justify, a full-time Chief AI Officer.

Fractional leadership covers the recurring decisions: which initiatives proceed, which vendors are selected, whether a system is ready to launch, and whether the governance posture would survive a customer’s due diligence.

Typical shape

  • One to three days per month, agreed in advance
  • Standing presence in the relevant leadership forum
  • A named accountable owner for the AI program
  • Escalation path for architecture and go/no-go decisions

Not sure which of these you need?

That is usually the right first conversation. Tell me what you are weighing and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
