Fractional AI Lead

Embedded AI leadership for founders and CTOs who need direction. We audit your stack, build your roadmap, guide build-vs-buy decisions, and keep you on track with a weekly cadence.

What You Get

AI leadership without the full-time hire

Strategic guidance, technical direction, and hands-on support—scaled to what you actually need.

Technical Audit

Deep assessment of your current stack, data readiness, and AI feasibility. We identify what's possible, what's risky, and what's not worth pursuing.

Prioritized Roadmap

A phased AI roadmap with ROI estimates for each initiative. Clear sequencing based on impact, feasibility, and dependencies.

Build vs. Buy Analysis

For each use case: should you build custom, use an off-the-shelf solution, or wait? We help you make informed decisions.

Weekly Cadence

Regular strategy sessions to review progress, unblock issues, and adapt the plan as you learn. Consistent guidance without the full-time overhead.
