Three ways to work together.
Whether the need is a quick diagnostic, a defined project, or ongoing strategic leadership — there's a structure built for it.
Assessment
Separate signal from noise. Walk away with a prioritized action plan.
Something's stuck — or too much is moving at once. Maybe AI feels urgent but the right starting point isn't clear. Maybe there's a decision the leadership team can't quite make. An Assessment is a structured diagnostic engagement: focused, rigorous, and designed to produce clear answers and a written action plan you can execute on the day you receive it.
What's included
- Structured pre-work questionnaire and materials review
- Half-day or full-day working session (virtual or on-site)
- Evaluation across business model, customer experience, operations, and AI readiness
- Written report with findings, prioritized recommendations, and action plan
- Session recording shared with your team
This might be right for you if…
AI feels urgent but the starting point isn't clear. A major decision is stuck. Your product roadmap feels like a wish list. The board is asking AI questions nobody can confidently answer. Or you're not sure if you need a bigger engagement — this is the lowest-risk way to find out.
Timeline
1–2 days of your time. Written report delivered within one week.
Investment
Starting at $3,500 depending on complexity and scope.
Project
A defined problem. A defined outcome. Hands-on work, not a slide deck.
Your company has a specific challenge — a guest personalization strategy that isn't landing, an AI integration that stalled, a competitive repositioning, or a go-to-market plan that needs expert leadership. A Project is a fixed-scope engagement built around solving one problem with a defined outcome.
What's included
- Discovery phase with structured intake and stakeholder interviews
- Strategic brief documenting findings and recommended path
- Hands-on execution: product strategy, roadmap, AI integration, go-to-market, or UX design
- Final deliverable with implementation guidance
- Fixed scope and fixed price agreed before work begins
This might be right for you if…
Your product has stalled and you're not sure why. You've hired consultants before and gotten decks instead of outcomes. AI is on every vendor pitch but you can't evaluate what's real. You know the problem but don't have the in-house expertise to solve it.
Timeline
2–8 weeks depending on scope. Discovery is typically 1–2 weeks.
Investment
Starting at $15,000. Most projects range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on scope and company size. Fixed price, no open-ended billing.
Retainer
Senior AI and product leadership without the $400K+ full-time hire.
Your company needs a strategic counterweight — someone embedded in your decisions on a regular cadence who can push back on bad ideas, sharpen good ones, and help navigate AI as it reshapes your competitive landscape. A Retainer is fractional Chief AI and Product Officer-level thinking built into your operating rhythm.
What's included
- Two 60–90 minute strategy sessions per month
- Async access via Slack or email between sessions (24-hour response)
- Quarterly strategic review with written summary and recalibrated priorities
- AI strategy, product direction, vendor evaluation, competitive positioning
- Team development and organizational design input
This might be right for you if…
You need CPO-level thinking but can't justify a $300K+ hire. Strategic decisions keep getting made by committee with no product voice in the room. AI is reshaping your category and nobody on your team is tracking it. Or you've completed a Project and want to keep the momentum.
Timeline
Minimum 3-month commitment. Most clients continue for 6–18 months.
Investment
Starting at $8,000/month based on company size and complexity.
