FAQs
We help you ship AI-era outcomes safely: Fractional CAIO / CTO / PMO leadership, Focus Packs (small, predefined results), and Knowledge Workshops. We focus on AI strategy, data/ML platforms, security/privacy, and delivery governance—so your teams can move fast without breaking trust.
We begin with an AI Readiness Diagnostic: value hypotheses, risk profile (privacy/safety/security), and a 90-day plan. Then we run time-boxed sprints with demos, burn-up reporting, and clear acceptance criteria—so progress and risk are visible every step.
We’re vendor-neutral. We use ADRs to compare options (open-source vs. SaaS, private vs. hosted, cloud vs. on-prem) across value, risk, cost, data residency, and capability maturity. CAIO / CTO get a traceable decision path; PMO gets scope and timeline clarity.
We design evaluation harnesses, apply human-in-the-loop for critical steps, and run targeted red-team tests. We prefer grounding/RAG, content moderation where needed, and guardrails for prompts/outputs. We won’t promise “zero risk”; we measure and reduce it.
We use DPIA-lite, data minimization, clear retention/deletion, and least-privilege access with audit trails. Secrets are managed properly; environments are isolated. We align with your internal policy and regulatory obligations; we’re not your lawyers, but we make you audit-ready.
With OKRs, burn-up charts, and unit economics (e.g., cost-per-call, cost-per-task, time-to-decision). You’ll see sprint demos, acceptance criteria, and trend lines—so CEOs and Boards can track outcomes, not activity.
You do. We prefer client-owned systems and won’t train external models on your data. We retain only generic frameworks/templates; bespoke work products, configs, and code are yours upon payment.
Yes. We embed alongside your people, publish a RACI, and meet your SDLC/MLR/compliance steps. PMO gets cadence and reporting; CTO gets technical depth; CAIO gets a defensible AI posture. We plan enablement (briefings, clinics, run-books) so improvements stick.
Pick an Focus Pack for a specific, time-boxed result (e.g., roadmap, DPIA-lite, RFP pack). Choose Fractional CAIO / CTO / PMO when you need ongoing portfolio steering, decision governance, and delivery cadence across multiple projects or vendors.
Modern MLOps/DevOps: environment separation, CI/CD, observability (SLIs/SLOs), model evaluation, rollback/fallback paths, and incident run-books. Security baselines cover keys/secrets, RBAC, and audit logging.
We apply FinOps for inference/training: budgets, alerts/caps, caching, model/prompt optimization, routing, quantization/compression where appropriate. We track cost against value so the CFO sees ROI, not just usage.
Start in 1–2 weeks.
- Retainers: weekly or monthly; (deposit up front)
- Blocks by Hour: e.g., 20-hour, prepaid; no minimums
- Focus Packs: goal based pre-structured services, prepaid
- Workshops: 50/50 terms (start/finish)
For larger scope, we form special-purpose D.R.E.A.M. teams and contract them via Wise Morrow—outputs remain client-owned.
