RETAINER / EMBEDDED LEADERSHIP

Fractional
Chief AI Officer.

Embedded AI leadership with an AI Engineer and Architect behind it. Unlocked by a passing assessment score.

SYS.STATUS: LIMITED SEATS FIG 4.0 / CAIO
01 / TEAMWho embeds
01 / LEAD

Chief AI Officer

Sits in your leadership cadence. Owns the AI roadmap, kills bad ideas, and answers for the number.

02 / BUILD

AI Engineer

Ships the systems on the roadmap — automations, integrations, and AI workflows in production.

03 / DESIGN

AI Architect

Owns data boundaries, tooling choices, and governance so nothing shipped has to be unshipped.

02 / SCOPEWhat they own
01

The Roadmap

The assessment roadmap becomes a quarterly execution plan with owners and budgets.

02

The Builds

Prioritized systems shipped on cadence — each one scoped, gated, and measured.

03

The Governance

Data access, vendor selection, and human-in-the-loop gates — decided once, enforced everywhere.

04

The Capability

Your team levels up alongside the builds. The goal is a company that runs this without us.

03 / GATEPrerequisite

Passing Score
Required.

We don't embed where the foundations can't hold the work. The AI Readiness Assessment is the front door: pass, and CAIO is available. Below threshold, we fix foundations first through the Triage Fast Track — then re-score.
