You own every recommendation and can act on it with your own team or partner. A larger build or operational role is never assumed as part of the assessment.
Architecture Triage
For one urgent architecture, vendor, data, automation, or AI decision. Review up to three agreed artifacts, meet for 90 minutes with up to four participants, and receive a 2–3 page decision memo within three business days, plus one email clarification round.
Outcome: a recommendation to proceed, pilot, redesign, defer, or stop, with key risks and the smallest responsible next step.
Boundary: not a code audit, exhaustive vendor selection, implementation plan, or ongoing support.

Decision Automation & Data Readiness Sprint
For one named workflow and sponsor. In two weeks, map the key handoffs, data sources, ownership, and failure points; recommend the appropriate mix of process, integration, rules, ML, agents, and human review; and deliver an executive readout with a prioritized 90-day roadmap.
Outcome: an actionable starting point, success measures, and owners.
Boundary: systems and stakeholder interviews are agreed before kickoff; no data remediation, integrations, implementation, or production rollout included.

$7,500–$10,000 · scoped in advance
AI Agent & ML Production Readiness Sprint
For one existing prototype or initiative and sponsor. In two weeks, assess workflow and tool boundaries, data access, human approval, evaluation, failure handling, and observability; deliver a staged rollout recommendation and prioritized 90-day plan.
Outcome: evidence needed to scale, revise, pause, or stop.
Boundary: this is a readiness assessment, not a promise of certification, model accuracy, compliance, production deployment, or ongoing operation.

Ongoing leadership · scoped to fit
Fractional CTO & Decision Systems Architect
Ongoing leadership for organizations with a named executive sponsor and an existing technical team or delivery partner. Unlike a time-boxed sprint, the retainer provides continuity: a regular monthly decision cadence, architecture and vendor reviews, roadmap prioritization, delivery-risk guidance, and coaching for product, engineering, data, and operations leaders.
Capacity: agreed with you based on priorities and availability; scope, cadence, and fees are confirmed in writing before starting.
Boundary: no implied ownership of engineering delivery, staffing, budget, compliance sign-off, on-call support, or hands-on build work. Those responsibilities require explicit scope and pricing.
