Step zero
90 minutes. Three answers. $1,250.
100% of the briefing fee credits toward the Audit within 60 days.
$1,250 You pay for the briefing $1,250 Credited to the audit $6,250 Due on the core audit, normally $7,500
Book the audit within 60 days and the briefing costs you nothing.
Assess
A senior read on where AI creates real leverage, what is safe to deploy now, and the governance gaps to close first.
You leave with a prioritized roadmap and a risk register you own.
The roadmap also names what to stop: recurring work your team should no longer be doing by hand, which is time you recover whether or not you build anything.
What we need from you A few hours of your team's time across two to three weeks, aimed at the hours your team could stop spending every week. We do the rest.
The roadmap prioritizes exactly what the build would deploy first, so nothing gets re-scoped if you go forward.
The first days, in order, so none of this is a surprise.
Within one business day
You hear back from Mark directly, not from a queue.
Which scope applies, Core or Regulated, is agreed in writing before any work begins, and the working sessions go in the calendar.
In the first sessions
The sessions ask a few hours of your team's time in total, spread across two to three weeks.
Everything between them is our work, not yours.
By the end, two to three weeks in
The prioritized 90-day roadmap, the risk register, and the governance and compliance gap analysis, written and handed over.
They are yours either way, whether or not you go on to build anything.
Not ready for the audit? Run the free assessment first.
When the audit shows what is worth building, these are the next steps, taken in order. You take them when you are ready, not before.
Build
We stand up the agents your audit identified, governed from day one and built to our governed deployment pattern (Command Center).
Evidence capture, encryption, and remediation ship with the deployment, so you can prove what the system did and why.
What we need from you Access to your cloud account, the priorities from your audit, and a named approver for high-risk actions.
Your build price is fixed in the audit roadmap. Every project is quoted fixed-fee, never time and materials.
The system is designed to be run, by your team or with ongoing senior ownership.
One governed system you own, with audit-ready evidence built in, instead of a pile of disconnected tools.
Starting range
$25K to $75K Per project
What ships today The base system stands up in your cloud within days of the assessment.The full governed deployment lands on the timeline above.What you buy is a deployment we build into your cloud and you own, not a license to finished software.The packaged product layer on top of that pattern is still being built, and nothing on the roadmap is billed as delivered.
After launch you run it in your own cloud.
Ongoing cost is your cloud and model usage, paid directly at cost with no markup.
There is no separate platform or license fee, and the Fractional retainer is optional.
Parallel track, available at any stage
Enable
Get your team genuinely productive with Claude, Codex (an AI coding assistant), and the modern AI stack: workflow design, guardrails, hands-on training, and reusable playbooks your people keep using after we are done.
Starting range
$8K to $25K Per engagement
Your team productive on the modern AI stack in weeks, with guardrails that stick, not a one-off training they forget.
Prioritize your automationsAn illustrative example
Ranges are honest, and on their own they are hard to plan against.
So here is one path through the ladder with the arithmetic shown.
Take a mid-size specialty clinic that wants intake and records work governed before it touches anything clinical. They start with the briefing, and this is what the published prices come to.
The audit is the smallest part of the year, and it is the part that decides whether the rest is worth buying.
Illustrative example, not a quote
First year total $104,500 to $195,000
The briefing nets to zero on this path, because it is paid and then credited in full against the audit. A buyer who takes the briefing and stops there pays $1,250 and nothing else.
For a sense of scale: a full-time CTO runs $250K and up per year before overhead, and that buys leadership, not a built system.
The illustrative first year here covers the briefing, the audit, the build, and nine months of senior ownership. At the top of the published ranges it still comes in under that figure.
Which model fits
Each is the wrong purchase for some organizations. The last row says when.
| Dimension | Assess AI Readiness & Governance Audit | Build Governed AI Deployment + Compliance Evidence | Embed Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) / AI strategist |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $7,500 or $12,000, one-time, by scope | $25K to $75K, project | $8K to $22K, per month |
| Timeframe | 2 to 3 weeks | 6 to 10 weeks | Ongoing, monthly |
| What we need from you | A few hours of your team's time across two to three weeks, aimed at the hours your team could stop spending every week. We do the rest. | Access to your cloud account, the priorities from your audit, and a named approver for high-risk actions. | No full-time hire, no equity commitment. |
| Right when | Leaders who need to know what is safe to build before spending on it. | Teams ready to deploy governed AI, not just talk about it. | Organizations that need senior AI ownership without a full-time hire. |
| Wrong when | You already hold a prioritized roadmap you trust and a risk register you would put in front of a regulator. Then this is a second opinion, not a necessity. | The audit finds that the highest-value work is a process or a data problem. Automating it would only make the wrong process faster, and that gets fixed first. | You already have a technology leader who owns AI direction and is accountable for it. A second owner splits accountability rather than adding any. |

Claude and Codex Enablement runs alongside these rather than competing with them, which is why it is not a column here.
Before you ask
This role is often called a fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) or AI strategist.
Because the work is scoped to your environment, and a fixed number quoted before anyone has seen it would be a guess wearing the clothes of a commitment. The range is the honest boundary. Where you land inside it is set during the audit, in writing, before any build work starts.
Three things. How many systems the work has to touch, how much of your data is already in a usable state, and how much evidence your auditors and regulators expect. One governed workflow in a clean environment sits near the bottom of a range. Several workflows across systems that do not talk to each other sits near the top.
Yes, and some organizations should. You own the prioritized roadmap and the risk register either way, and both are written so that your own team, or another firm, could execute them without us. Stopping is a real option, not a threat to the engagement.
Then it says so, and you have saved the build budget. An audit that can only ever recommend the next purchase is a sales document. Recommending a smaller build, a later one, or none at all is a normal outcome here.
A service that leaves you owning a deployed system. It runs in your own cloud account, and the audit trails and evidence it captures are yours. Command Center is the name of the governed pattern we build to. The packaged product on top of that pattern is still in development, so it is not part of what you are quoted.
Your cloud and model usage, paid directly to those providers at cost with no markup, plus an optional Fractional retainer if you want senior ownership to continue. There is no separate platform fee and no license fee.
No. The audit is a one-time engagement, the build is a project, and the retainer is monthly. There is no full-time hire, no equity, and no multi-year minimum. Each step is bought once the previous one has earned it.
Yes, and it sits deliberately beside this ladder rather than under it. The AI Opportunity Snapshot is a short, productized version of the assessment for solo owners and small teams. It is a different lane with a different scope, not a discounted audit.
Running a small team rather than an enterprise? The AI Opportunity Snapshot is a separate, much smaller lane for solo owners and small teams.
