The pilots ran, the deck got written, and the number on the spreadsheet didn't move. That's where most teams are when they call us. We find what's broken, ship the fix, and run it after go-live.
Every engagement ends in a working deliverable, not a deck. Most clients start with one of the two diagnoses. The diagnosis takes the guesswork out of the build, the build earns the retainer, and when the measurement is clean we'll put our fee on the outcome.
We take two engagements a quarter. If your problem doesn't fit any of these shapes, we'll tell you on the first call and point you to someone better suited.
For executives with no AI in production, or pilots that haven't moved a number. An honest, prioritized read on where AI fits your operation, and where it doesn't. Ranked opportunities, a 90-day plan, named owners. Built to survive a board meeting.
2–4 weeks · fee credited if you continue
Retention, liveops, monetization. For live games and consumer products that acquire users well, then lose them before payback. Build-ready specs and a 90-day roadmap, not a backlog.
4 weeks · fixed fee · optional implementation retainer
We rebuild what your team does and ship the AI that runs the new design: strategy plus the first production workflows. Then we run it with you after go-live.
4–12 weeks · fixed fee, paid in thirds
A senior operator embedded as your fractional AI lead or CAIO. Roadmap ownership, vendor decisions, board narrative, and the scorecard for the full-time hire who replaces us.
Quarterly retainer
When the diagnosis points at a number like retention, LTV or ARPU, and your measurement is clean, we take a defined share of the uplift in place of most or all of our fee.
Selective · uplift share
Bring the problem. You'll get a straight answer on which engagement fits, or a no.
