Work With Me
We start with a focused Discovery & Governance Sprint. This guarantees that before we commit to a contract, we have identified the right problem and validated whether AI is the right approach.
This is a short, paid diagnostic: structured intake, a 30-45 minute call, and a concise Go/No-Go Brief (with an implementation roadmap), recommending the next step.
If you want more background first, see the guides for higher education and creative and digital agencies.
What the Discovery & Governance Sprint is
A short, paid diagnostic to map your workflows, identify high-value use cases, assess risk and readiness, and produce a Go/No-Go Brief (with an implementation roadmap) for the next step: Pilot Build, an Implementation Pilot, or a retainer.
Who it’s for
- Universities/research units designing policy and pilots that will stick.
- Agencies/consultancies needing a credible AI operating model.
- Founders/SMEs validating a workflow or MVP with guardrails.
Not a fit if
- You want generic “AI transformation” messaging without concrete workflows.
- You want bulk content output or prompt “hacks” instead of workflow change.
- You need a large bespoke software team for long-term product engineering.
What you get
- Current-state and risk snapshot for one or two workflows.
- Prioritised opportunities with governance and data considerations.
- Go/No-Go Brief (with an implementation roadmap), including a recommended next step and success measures.
What happens next
- Pilot Build (3-7 days).
- Implementation Pilot (4-6 weeks).
- Fractional CAIO support (retainer).
The Process
- 1.You complete the intake form below outlining your context and the specific challenge.
- 2.We hold a 30–45 minute Strategy Call to dig into the constraints and real opportunities.
- 3.You receive a Go/No-Go Brief (with an implementation roadmap) within 5 working days, containing:
- an honest assessment of feasibility and risk
- recommended next step (Pilot Build, Implementation Pilot, or retainer)
- an implementation roadmap (priorities, owners, and governance cadence)
If it makes sense to proceed, we agree on the next step (Pilot Build, Implementation Pilot, or retainer).
