Fractional AI Lead

By now we know your team. The Fractional AI Lead is how we keep the relationship going, on the terms you want.

What this is

Fractional AI Lead

By the time you're considering this, we know your team, the kit they run, and the patterns that work for them. The stack moves quickly - foundation models change every few months, and protocols land that didn't exist when we shipped your build. Your team has questions, and the answers from a Reddit thread aren't always the right ones for the system you have. The fractional shape keeps a senior practitioner on it without the cost or slowness of a full-time hire.

Worked example: one engagement, from first analysis to tools the team uses daily

Who this is for

The teams that get the most out of it.

By default, the engagement that follows The Audit, The Build and AI Training. We already know your team, the kit they're running, and the patterns that work for them. New clients are welcome too, especially those who've built something already (with us or someone else) and want a senior pair of eyes on what comes next without a full-time hire.

What happens

The shape of the engagement.

Regular stack reviews so you know what's coming and what to plan for. Scheduled office hours where your in-house team can bring questions and we work through them together. MCP and tooling upgrades as the stack moves. First call when something is on fire, and a quiet check-in when something is working. The cadence is agreed up front and reviewed every quarter so it stays useful.

Next step

What the next conversation looks like.

A conversation about what your team needs. The right answer might be a fractional. It might be a proper full-time hire (we'll happily help you write the brief). It might be neither yet, and that's an honest answer too.
