AI that pays for itself, with the numbers to prove it.
For PE operating partners and portfolio company CEOs. I find the one workflow where AI pays, put a value and a monthly run cost on it, then build the first version inside your environment.

What I do
02
Fractional Chief AI Officer
A company that needs an AI executive at the table now and is not ready to hire one full time.
An AI strategy tied to your P&L, the first production system live with its run cost known, governance your board can sign off on, and a team that can carry it forward without me.
Monthly, reviewed each quarter.

Diligence Advisory
Boards, investors and operating partners who need an independent read before the money moves.
An independent view of an AI plan, a vendor or a portfolio company's claims, the diligence questions that separate a working system from a demo, and a portfolio map of where AI creates value and where it burns cash.
Monthly, with a standing seat at the review.

How it compares
| Full-time CAIO | Consulting firm | Fractional CAIO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Salary, bonus and equity | Project fees for a team | Monthly retainer |
| Time to first result | Months, after the search | After the assessment phase | Weeks, on one workflow |
| Who builds | A team still to be hired | A delivery team you rent | The person who advises |
| What you keep | A permanent executive | A report and a roadmap | A running system and its numbers |
Where it pays
Private equity portfolios
- Portfolio platform: one governed platform across the companies, with value tracked company by company.
- Fund reporting: one view of what each program returns and what it costs to run.
- Handover: each company's own people run the system after the build.
Healthcare
- Long documents: answers cited to the exact source page, with a refusal when the source is silent.
- Operations: repetitive manual work taken off the team that carries it.
- Regulated deployments: documentation ready for the questions examiners ask.
Financial services
- Statements and invoices: read at volume, with structured data sent to the accounting system and an audit trail.
- Underwriting and screening: consistent scoring, with every score traced to the signals behind it.
- Exceptions and anomalies: flagged in the daily record flow before a person has to look.
Industrials and services
- Quote requests: a photo identifies the equipment, so the request arrives ready to price.
- Customer messages: fewer clarifying rounds before the work is scoped.
- Manuals and contracts: less time searching, with each answer cited to its page.
Built for regulated environments
Your data stays in your tenant
The first version is built and run inside your environment, under your access controls.
Governance and audit trail on every output
Accountability, data boundaries and audit trails are designed in before the first workflow ships.
No confidential figures leave the engagement
Your numbers stay yours. Case studies on this site describe system design and omit client-confidential detail.
