AI Consulting

We build and implement, not slide decks about it.

Strategy when you need a plan, an AI lead on retainer when you need someone to run it, and engineers when it has to be built. This is the practice our products grew out of, every engagement delivered end to end, from first conversation to production.

Founder-led Vendor-agnostic By engagement

Four kinds of engagement

Pick the one that fits the problem you have today.

01 · AI Strategy

Know where AI fits, and where it doesn't.

Most businesses know AI matters, but few know where to start. We cut through the noise. Our strategy engagements begin with a deep assessment of your operations, tools, and team workflows, no generic templates. We spend time understanding how your business actually runs, where the bottlenecks are, and where AI delivers measurable results versus where it's just hype.

From there, we build a prioritized roadmap: what to implement first, what it will cost, what return to expect, and how to roll it out without disrupting your team. You walk away with a clear, actionable plan, not a 50-page report that collects dust. Already using AI tools? We audit what's working, what's not, and where the gaps are.

02 · Fractional AI Officer

You bought Copilot. Or Claude. Or both. Now what?

You don't need a full-time Chief AI Officer. You need someone who's done this before, on retainer. We run rollouts, write the usage policies, train your team, watch the bill, and pick the next thing worth turning on. Vendor-agnostic. Senior-only.

03 · Automations & Business Intelligence

Stop doing manually what a machine should handle.

Your team is spending hours on tasks that should take minutes. Data entry, report generation, file management, client onboarding, exactly the repetitive, rules-based work that automation handles best. We design and build custom automations tailored to your workflows: not off-the-shelf tools you bend your business around, but solutions built to fit how you already work, just faster, and without the errors.

We go beyond simple task automation: connecting your systems, building data pipelines, and implementing AI-powered workflows, an automated intake process, a smart reporting dashboard, an assistant trained on your company's knowledge. And we handle the messy middle: data cleanup, system integrations, migration off legacy tools. If your data isn't AI-ready, we'll get it there.

04 · Custom Software

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we ship something that does.

Some problems can't be solved by wiring existing tools together. When an engagement needs software that doesn't exist, we design and build it: production-ready, documented, and owned by you. The person who scoped it is the person who builds it.

This is where our products came from. Flybridge began as a build for a CPA firm that couldn't get a trustworthy morning picture out of its practice-management system; Chainlocker began as a document-review problem no tool on the market handled. We build like the result might have to run for years, because ours do.

How an engagement runs

Weeks, not quarters. Working software, not status decks.

Week 0

A 30-minute call.

No deck. We learn the shape of the problem and tell you whether we can help.

Week 1

A short proposal.

Fixed scope, fixed price, named team. No retainers unless you want one.

Week 2–6

We build.

Weekly check-ins. Working software, not status decks. Honest scope beats heroic scope.

Week 6+

We hand it off.

You own it. If you want us to keep running it, that's where Fractional AI starts.

Not sure which fits?

Most conversations start with "can AI help with this?"

That's fine, let's find out. Thirty minutes, no deck. If we can help, we'll say so. If we can't, we'll point you to someone who can.
