Senior AI leadership,
without the full-time hire.

Book a call

Two ways to work with us.

01 Fractional AI Head

What is a fractional AI head?

An AI lead for your team, a few hours a week, by the month.

  • Set the architecture.
  • Review what is already being built.
  • Hire AI engineers.
  • Assess vendors and outsourcing proposals.

How it works: a 30-minute call, then a monthly scope agreed in writing.

Illustrative example

  1. Week 1

    Architecture

    1. Documents
    2. Chunking & embedding
    3. Retrieval
    4. LLM
    5. Evaluation
    6. Product

  2. Week 2

    Technical review

    review.md

    • Prompts are hard-coded in the frontend.

  3. Week 3

    AI engineer

    • Build retrieval and agent features into the product.

  4. Week 4

    Vendor assessment

    Vendor A Unclear who keeps the data
    Vendor B Export is limited
    Vendor C Draft, not agreed

02 AI Implementation

From idea to a system your team can run.

  • A working prototype in weeks.
  • An assistant that answers from your own documents.
  • An agent that handles a defined part of a job.

How it works: a short, fixed-price assessment first, then design, build and hand over.
