Common Questions
How do I know which tier is right for us?
Start with a free 30-minute assessment. We'll understand where you are today and recommend the right engagement. Most companies start with the Strategy Sprint to identify opportunities before committing to implementation.
Can we start with Strategy Sprint and upgrade later?
Absolutely. The Strategy Sprint is designed as a standalone deliverable you get a complete roadmap regardless. Many clients use it to build internal buy-in, then move to Implementation when they're ready.
How is Implementation pricing determined?
Every AI project is different in scope, complexity, and timeline. After a Strategy Sprint or free assessment, we provide a detailed proposal with exact pricing, deliverables, and milestones. No surprises, no scope creep.
How is Fractional AI Leadership different from hiring?
A full-time AI lead costs $250K+/year with recruiting, onboarding, and benefits. At $8K/month with 6-8 days of senior hands-on work, you get production-tested expertise across multiple industries at roughly 1/3 the cost. Scale up or down as needs change.
What if our data infrastructure isn't ready for AI?
That's actually where 52% of AI projects fail and it's one of our differentiators. Unlike pure AI consultancies, we have deep data engineering expertise. We'll assess your data readiness in the Strategy Sprint and build the foundation as part of Implementation if needed.
Do you work with specific industries?
We've worked across finance, healthcare, retail, and technology. Our approach is industry-agnostic we focus on the engineering and business outcomes, adapting to your domain's specific compliance and operational requirements.
