Services
Own your data, your software, your knowledge and your intellectual property.
Start small with an AI Assessment or a free workshop. When you are ready, three 90-day engagements move you toward sovereign technology. In the first, we create the plan: a blueprint you can implement yourself, with a third party, or with SMB AI’s help. The second goes deep into implementation. In the third, your team takes ownership. Then I can be your Fractional Chief AI Officer, or you can run your business systems on your own.

“My goal is to enable your team. I am a coach and a teacher, and I want your team to be able to carry on this work without me.”
The goal
Sovereignty: own the system your business runs on.
Own your data
Your data lives in systems you control. Confidential information is never handed to a public AI model.
Own your software
The code is yours. It is open, portable and not tied to any one AI vendor, so you are not renting your business back every month.
Own your IP
What your people know is captured in a knowledge base your team and your AI can search. It stays with the company when people move on.
My goal: cut your software and IT spend by up to 80%.
We agree on your starting spend at the beginning, we measure results along the way, and every result is measured against that number.
Get started
Two low-risk ways to begin.
Start here · On site
AI Assessment
Three hours on site at your business talking through how it runs and where technology and AI fit. Within 10 days you get a written report with your first steps in priority order, and we go through it together in a one-hour online review.
Due once the report is delivered. Nothing is due at booking. If you continue to Base Camp, this fee goes toward it.

Extended engagements
Three 90-day stages. Do one, or all three.
Base Camp, Ascent and Summit are separate engagements, and you can stop after any of them. Base Camp creates the plan, Ascent goes deep into implementation, and in Summit your team takes ownership. Over about nine months, they move you toward one system of record that you own, for your data and your applications.
How the climb works
A few people lead. Then they bring the rest of the team.
At Base Camp, a small group of early movers learns first. By week 12 they leave camp with working proofs of concept, coached to bring everyone else along. Ascent and Summit take the whole company up the mountain.
The three stages
Base Camp, Ascent and Summit.
Open a stage to see what it includes and what it costs.
Months 1-3Base Camp$35,000+ · 90 daysDiscovery, training and a roadmap your team can follow.
A 90-day engagement that gets your business and your team ready to be self-sufficient with data and technology. Through remote discovery, in-person workshops on two site visits, and weekly meetings, I learn how your business runs: your technology, your workflows, what your people can do today, and where the early AI opportunities are.
Along the way we review your Claude organization, run AI literacy training, turn on the right connectors, set up Claude Code for your builders, work through data privacy and security, and evaluate your hardware. You finish with a clear map: where you want to be, where you are today, and the gaps to close in people, processes, systems and technology.
90 days. The price depends on the size of your company and how detailed the plan needs to be.
- Two on-site visits: the first within two weeks of the start, the return in week 10
- Weekly update, training and check-in for all 90 days
- Email and chat access for all 90 days
- Coaching for your individuals
- Claude organization setup, shared projects, skills and artifacts
- Claude Code, GitHub and a design system connected to your codebase
- A full written report with a 1 to 2 hour review

90 days. Follows Base Camp.

- A 1 to 2 hour review together
Every week: a progress update, a short training session and a check-in, plus email and chat access for all 90 days.
We take a problems-first approach
“As a [role], it is hard to [task], because [reason]. It would be great if a system could [X].”
For example: “As a bookkeeper, it is hard to close the month on time, because I re-key invoices from emails. It would be great if a system could read those invoices and enter them for me.”
Your people write dozens of these. We sort them by pain and payoff, and that order decides what we work on first.

Questions people ask
Which service should I start with?
Start with the AI Assessment or a free workshop. The assessment is three hours on site and a written report with your first steps, for $1,500. The workshop is a free 90-minute session for your chamber or business group. The extended engagements come after.
Who are the extended engagements for?
Companies that spend $250,000 or more a year on software.
What are Base Camp, Ascent and Summit?
Three separate 90-day engagements. Base Camp (days 1 to 90) is discovery, training and a roadmap. Ascent (days 91 to 180) is the build: moving your work onto systems you own and building the monthly products you need. Summit (days 181 to 270) brings the whole organization onto the new system and hands leadership to your team.
Do I have to do all three?
No. Each stage is its own engagement, and you can stop after any of them.
What does a Fractional Chief AI Officer do?
After the extended engagements, I can stay on as your part-time Chief AI Officer: I own the AI roadmap, governance and vendor choices, keep the systems we built running and improving, meet each month with leadership and your AI governance team, run build sessions with your people, and stay reachable by chat. It is $5,000 to $10,000 a month depending on scope.
How much can I save?
My goal is to cut your software and IT spend by up to 80%. We agree on your starting spend at the beginning, and every result is measured against that number.
How much does it cost?
The AI Assessment is $1,500. The 10-hour coaching block is $3,500. Workshops are free. Base Camp starts at $35,000, Ascent at $25,000 and Summit at $15,000, each for 90 days. The Fractional Chief AI Officer is $5,000 to $10,000 a month.
Where do the monthly products fit?
Guardrail, Foundry, Vault, Keep and Cypher are built during Ascent and Summit, as your business needs them. They are also available on their own on the products page.
Do I have to buy more than the assessment?
No. The assessment stands on its own, and the report is yours to run with. My goal is to show you there is a path to doing this yourselves.
