/01AI Audit & Advisory

Know where AI belongs in your business.

You have ideas, tools, and plenty of advice. What you need is a clear view of what will make a difference in your business. We help you choose the right priorities and turn them into a plan you can act on.

Engagement options

Ways to work together.

We agree on scope, timing, fees, and responsibilities before starting. Choose the level of involvement that fits your team.

01Start here

AI audit call

Bring the process, bottleneck, or AI question you want to work through. We look at the situation together and identify the most useful next step.

  • Discuss your goals, current tools, and where work gets stuck
  • Explore practical opportunities and constraints
  • Decide whether you need a deeper audit, a build, or training

02Focused engagement

Operational audit & roadmap

A deeper review of the workflows and systems in scope, with a prioritized plan for implementation.

  • Workflow mapping with the people doing the work
  • Opportunity assessment, tool choices, and dependencies
  • Sequenced roadmap with owners and success measures

03Recurring guidance

Ongoing AI advisory

A business-specific sounding board as tools change, projects progress, and new decisions come up.

  • Strategy calls and briefings relevant to your business
  • Tool and vendor evaluation
  • Roadmap reviews and implementation guidance

04Embedded leadership

Fractional Chief AI Officer

Senior AI leadership without a full-time hire. We work with your leadership team to connect strategy, implementation, and adoption.

  • AI investment priorities and leadership-team support
  • Vendor decisions and implementation oversight
  • Adoption planning, outcome reviews, and internal hiring guidance

In practice

The questions we help you answer

Where do we start?

Find the workflow worth improving first, with the likely value and effort made explicit.

Should we buy or build?

Compare off-the-shelf tools, integrations, and custom systems against what your business needs.

Who owns this?

Give AI initiatives clear decision-makers, delivery responsibilities, and a way to measure progress.

From first conversation to delivery

How the work happens.

  1. 01

    Understand the business

    Start with your goals, constraints, and the work taking too much time.

  2. 02

    Choose the priorities

    Assess where AI is useful, what needs fixing first, and how to sequence the work.

  3. 03

    Put the plan to work

    Take the roadmap to your team, engage us to build, or keep us involved as your AI lead.

A few practical details

Before we start.

Is the audit call a full business audit?

The call is a focused starting conversation. A deeper operational audit is a separate, scoped engagement with workflow mapping and a written roadmap.

Does advisory include implementation?

Advisory covers decisions and guidance. Hands-on builds are scoped separately. A fractional leadership engagement can coordinate that delivery, with responsibilities and capacity agreed upfront.

Do we have to go through every level?

No. Start with the engagement that fits your situation. If you already have a clear build or training brief, we can discuss it directly.

The starting conversation

Bring one problem worth solving.

Tell us what your business does, the tools you use, and where work gets stuck. We’ll explore the opportunity together and agree on the most useful next step.
