Engagement model

How we work together

  1. Diagnostic

    A short, fixed-fee review of your spreadsheets, software, reports, and recurring manual work. You get a written assessment and a ranked list of opportunities, including where AI fits and where it doesn’t yet.

  2. Advisory retainer

    Ongoing access to senior judgment: defining KPIs, reviewing dashboards and models, choosing tools and vendors, and prioritizing what to build next. Monthly, cancel anytime.

  3. Scoped projects

    When you need something built, such as a pipeline, a dashboard, a forecasting model, or an AI workflow, we scope it separately at a fixed price. That keeps the retainer for strategy and avoids open-ended scope creep.

The AI on-ramp

AI that earns its keep

I use AI tools every day, to build models, analyze AI agents, and ship internal tools faster. I bring the same practical approach to your business: start with clean data and a measurable problem, keep a human in the loop where the stakes are high, and only scale what pays off.

Who it’s for

Built for small and medium businesses

Companies that have outgrown spreadsheets but can’t justify the $200k+ cost of a full-time senior data hire, or don’t yet know what that hire should do.

IndustryTypical first project
