Fractional Chief AI Officer
Ongoing AI leadership without the full-time cost. We set your roadmap, ship automations, and train your team for as long as you need us.
The retainer starts after the $297 audit, once we both know the work is worth doing.
Who this is for
This retainer is built for established Metro Detroit SMBs with 15–200 employees that want to adopt AI and have nobody inside accountable for the result. It fits a business that has bought software nobody uses and wants the way work gets done to change.

What you get
Strategic Leadership
A leader who makes the calls on buy versus build, sets the roadmap, and ties every AI project to your business KPIs.
Shipped Automations
We build custom no-code integrations that connect your CRM, email, and operations platforms.
Team Training
A documented handover and training built for your team, so they can run the new systems without us.
How it works
Every engagement starts with a structured 4-week build sprint, with a working system at the end of it.
Strategy & KPI Audit (Alignment)
We study your operation, find the bottlenecks, and set clear KPIs for what AI should achieve in your business. We don't guess; we measure.
Workflow Mapping
We find the manual tasks that take the most of your team's time, map the data flow behind them, and design the automation that replaces them.
No-Code Build Sprint
We build, connect, and test the AI workflows and automations on no-code platforms, and you see them running on your own data by the end of the week.
Capability Transfer
We train your staff, document the systems, and hand them over, so your team runs them without us.
Investment
A full-time Chief AI Officer can cost $250,000 or more before benefits and recruiting. Our Fractional CAIO program is built for SMBs, so the cost is a fraction of a full-time CAIO, scoped to your business.
The first four weeks follow a fixed structure and end with a shipped automation. After the sprint, you can stop there or move to a monthly retainer for more automations and ongoing strategy.
