Accountable AI delivery

Turn one expensive workflow into a controlled, measurable AI process.

I help mid-market B2B software and technology-enabled service companies move one customer or service operation from baseline to controlled production in six weeks - without hiring a full-time AI executive.

Where value gets trapped

Customer operations with a baseline, an owner, and a measurable result.

The work starts where operating friction is already visible. The goal is not to add AI everywhere; it is to improve one consequential process and make the result legible to the people accountable for it.

01

Support triage and resolution

Classify requests, retrieve context, draft a response, route exceptions, and capture feedback.

Measures
First response, resolution time, human minutes, reopen rate

02

Customer onboarding and implementation

Coordinate intake, dependencies, handoffs, status updates, and exception ownership across teams.

Measures
Cycle time, stalled accounts, rework, time to value

03

Knowledge management and internal search

Make approved product, policy, and account knowledge retrievable inside the daily workflow.

Measures
Search time, answer quality, escalations, adoption

04

Product feedback classification

Normalize qualitative feedback, identify themes, connect evidence, and support prioritization.

Measures
Handling time, coverage, theme quality, decision latency

05

Customer health and QBR reporting

Assemble account signals, flag risk, draft narratives, and keep a human accountable for the readout.

Measures
Preparation time, coverage, risk detection, follow-through

06

Service-delivery handoffs

Move work between sales, onboarding, support, delivery, and finance with explicit owners and exceptions.

Measures
Queue age, missed handoffs, rework, customer delay

Engagements

Start with the decision. Expand only after the result is controlled.

01The starting point

AI Workflow Value Diagnostic

$7,500 introductory fee

10 business days

Published next-stage price: $12,500 after the first two clients

A fixed-scope decision package for one high-friction workflow - before anyone buys another tool or starts another pilot.

Current-state workflow and exception map

Baseline economics and measurable success criteria

Use-case, data, integration, and risk scorecard

Build, buy, configure, or simplify recommendation

Human controls, evaluation, logging, and accountability plan

Executive ROI model and six-week implementation plan

Terms 50% at signing and 50% at the executive readout. $5,000 is credited toward a sprint signed within 30 days.

02After the diagnostic

AI Value-to-Production Sprint

$30,000-$45,000

Approximately 6 weeks

One narrowly scoped workflow taken into controlled production for one team, with delivery leadership and measurement included.

Production workflow and required integrations

Human approvals and exception handling

Evaluation, monitoring, and audit logging

Team enablement and operating runbook

Baseline-to-result measurement and executive readout

Terms 40% at signing, 30% at approved design, and 30% at controlled launch.

03After a successful launch

Fractional Head of AI Delivery

$12,000-$18,000 per month

3-month minimum

Limited-scope leadership for the roadmap, executive steering, vendors, governance, adoption, cost control, and value realization.

Prioritized AI portfolio and roadmap

Business cases, baselines, and value reporting

Build-versus-buy and vendor decisions

Governance, cost controls, and human-control patterns

Adoption, training, and executive steering

Terms Monthly in advance with explicit days, decision rights, and a one-to-two-day-per-week cap.

04For deal teams and investors

AI and Technical Due Diligence

$10,000-$20,000

Fixed scope

A private, referral-led assessment of architecture, product, cloud economics, AI claims, security exposure, technical debt, and post-close priorities.

Architecture and scale assessment

AI-claim and product-roadmap validation

Cloud cost and engineering-capacity review

Security, key-person, and technical-debt exposure

Prioritized post-close actions

Terms Scoped to the transaction and decision timeline.

Delivery control

A production result executives can inspect, govern, and measure.

01

Baseline

Quantify the workflow before changing it

Volume, labor, cycle time, rework, errors, escalations, and customer impact become the starting line.

02

Decide

Choose build, buy, configure, or simplify

The answer is vendor-neutral. AI is used only where it improves the economics or operating result.

03

Control

Design approvals, exceptions, and accountability

Security, privacy, evaluation, logging, human review, and failure handling are designed before launch.

04

Launch

Put one workflow into production for one team

A controlled release, explicit owner, team enablement, and operating runbook keep the change usable.

05

Measure

Report the result against the baseline

Executives see operational and financial movement, not a demo count or a vague AI-adoption metric.

A bounded first conversation

Bring one workflow, one accountable owner, and the pressure behind the decision.

The fit call determines whether the workflow has a credible baseline, implementation capacity, decision owner, and budget. The analysis itself begins in the paid diagnostic.
