Engagement Tiers

From Startup to Enterprise

AI adoption isn't one size. A seed-stage founder, a Series B scaleup, and a Fortune 500 institution all need different playbooks. Pick the stage that fits.

STARTUP

AI for Startups

Move fast without picking the wrong tools.

For founders who need to integrate AI into product or ops in 30–90 days without burning runway on the wrong stack.

  • AI use-case map tied to revenue or retention
  • Pilot playbook (30 / 60 / 90 day milestones)
  • Vendor and model selection (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source)
  • Founder-friendly governance lite

Outcome

Ship one production AI workflow in 60 days.

SCALEUP

AI for Scaleups

Turn AI from side project into operating advantage.

For Series A–C and mid-market teams rolling AI across sales, ops, support, and internal knowledge.

  • Department-level automation roadmap
  • Internal copilot design and rollout
  • AI workflow standards and review process
  • Change management and team enablement

Outcome

Measurable productivity lift across 3+ teams per quarter.

ENTERPRISE

Enterprise AI Transformation

Adopt AI with governance, safety, and scale.

For enterprises, institutions, and public sector teams balancing AI adoption with compliance, workforce impact, and executive alignment.

  • Executive AI strategy workshops
  • Governance, risk, and policy framework
  • Multi-quarter transformation roadmap
  • Workforce reskilling and change program

FAQ

Common Questions

How is this different from a typical AI consultancy?

I come in as an operator, not an agency. I've built and run eight companies, led a nonprofit distributing 20M+ lbs of food, and operated AI-powered education programs. I design AI adoption plans you can actually run — not decks to shelve.

Do you implement, or only advise?

Both. For startups I often go hands-on building the first pilot. For enterprises, I typically lead strategy, governance, and executive alignment while your internal team or implementation partner executes.

Which AI models and tools do you work with?

Model-agnostic. Engagements routinely cover Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and open-source options like Llama — plus orchestration tools, copilot platforms, and RAG stacks. Model selection follows the use case, not the other way around.

How long is a typical engagement?

Startup pilots run 30–90 days. Scaleup rollouts typically 3–6 months. Enterprise transformation engagements run 2–4 quarters with ongoing advisory.

Do you offer fractional AI advisor / board-level advisory?

Yes — fractional engagements for growth-stage companies and board advisory for institutions are both available. Book a call to scope.

Ready to Ship AI That Works?

One conversation to scope the right engagement — pilot, rollout, or enterprise roadmap.
