Right-sized technology, security, and AI leadership.

Predictable access to senior operators without adding a full-time executive seat.

Choose Foundation for essential IT leadership, Strategic for active security and AI governance, and Executive for board-level coverage across CIO, CISO, and CAIO. The 30-Day AI Foundation is the on-ramp when you need to start from zero.

Fixed-fee on-ramp

30-Day AI Foundation.

A fixed-fee four-week sprint for organizations starting at zero AI use. By day 30: an Acceptable Use Policy, a data readiness scorecard, one governed pilot, two trained internal champions, and a 90-day expansion roadmap. Many clients use it as the on-ramp to a fractional CAIO retainer, and to Foundry when a workflow needs a custom build.
