AI Implementation Needs More Than Occasional Check-Ins. It Needs a Partner.
Month-to-month AI-augmented advisory providing continuous expert guidance on vendor selection, architecture decisions, and strategic direction—starting with 90-day minimum commitment to build deep context.
Your AI Implementation Partner
You're not just experimenting with AI anymore—you're building it into your operations. You need someone who understands your business context, knows your technical constraints, and can provide expert guidance on the continuous stream of decisions you're facing: Which vendors are worth evaluating? How should this capability scale? Is this architecture decision going to create technical debt in six months?
Ongoing Advisory provides continuous access to AI expertise augmented by our specialized AI agent system. You're not buying hours—you're buying a partnership. We become deeply familiar with your operations, your team, your strategic direction. When questions arise, you get answers fast. When decisions need expert input, we're already up to speed. When vendor pitches need evaluation, we cut through the marketing to assess real fit.
This isn't staff augmentation putting inexperienced resources on your team. It's fractional access to 18+ years of enterprise AI implementation experience, accelerated by AI-augmented analysis that would take traditional advisors days to produce. You get the strategic guidance of a senior technology executive without the $200K+ annual commitment—and you get AI-powered research, vendor evaluation, and market analysis at a speed traditional advisors can't match.
What You Get
✓Regular Strategic Touchpoints
Scheduled working sessions (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly based on your needs) to review progress, address challenges, evaluate decisions, and adjust strategy—ensuring continuous alignment between your AI initiatives and business objectives.
✓AI-Augmented Research and Analysis
Rapid-turnaround research on vendors, technologies, market trends, and competitive positioning using our agent system—delivering in days what traditional consulting research would take weeks to produce.
✓Vendor and Solution Evaluation
Objective assessment of technology vendors, service providers, and solution approaches as you encounter them—including capability analysis, reference checking, contract review, and implementation risk evaluation.
✓Architecture and Technical Guidance
Expert input on architectural decisions, technology stack choices, integration approaches, and scalability considerations—grounded in real-world implementation experience across 10+ domains.
✓Async Communication Access
Email and Slack access for questions, quick assessments, and guidance between scheduled sessions—getting rapid expert input when decisions can't wait for the next meeting.
✓Deep Business Context and Institutional Memory
Unlike project-based consulting, we maintain continuous context on your business, technology, team, and strategic direction—meaning we don't need re-onboarding every time you have a question.
Example Scenarios
Growing Company Embedding AI Across Product and Operations
A B2B SaaS company with 50 employees was scaling rapidly and wanted to embed AI across customer support, product features, and internal operations. Ongoing Advisory provided continuous guidance over 12 months: evaluating LLM providers for product features, designing AI-augmented customer support workflows, assessing data infrastructure investments, and reviewing vendor contracts. The continuous partnership meant decisions got expert input in real-time rather than waiting for consultant availability.
Key Outcome:
Launched 3 AI-powered product features; reduced support ticket volume by 40%; avoided 2 vendor contracts that would have created lock-in; built scalable AI infrastructure.
Agency Building AI Governance Framework
A state government agency responsible for technology oversight across 20+ departments needed to develop AI governance policies, evaluate AI adoption across agencies, and provide guidance to agency technology leaders. Ongoing Advisory provided 18 months of continuous support: developing AI risk assessment frameworks, reviewing agency AI initiatives, creating procurement guidelines for AI solutions, and providing expert testimony for legislative briefings.
Key Outcome:
Established statewide AI governance framework adopted by 18 agencies; prevented 3 high-risk AI deployments; standardized AI procurement reducing redundant vendor contracts by $4M annually.
Retail Chain Scaling AI Initiatives Across Locations
A specialty retail chain with 85 locations piloted inventory optimization AI at 5 stores and needed guidance scaling to remaining locations while avoiding common deployment pitfalls. Ongoing Advisory provided 9 months of implementation support: architecting multi-location deployment approach, evaluating edge vs. cloud compute trade-offs, designing change management for store staff, and troubleshooting regional performance variations.
Key Outcome:
Successfully scaled AI to all 85 locations; reduced inventory carrying costs by 22%; identified and resolved 3 regional data quality issues before they impacted more stores.
Clinic Network with Ongoing AI Implementation Needs
A seven-location healthcare clinic network was implementing AI-powered referral management, revenue cycle automation, and clinical documentation assistance over 24 months. Ongoing Advisory provided continuous guidance: evaluating AI vendors claiming HIPAA compliance, designing technical architecture meeting security requirements, reviewing Business Associate Agreements, conducting security assessments, and providing staff training on AI tool adoption.
Key Outcome:
Implemented 3 AI capabilities meeting HIPAA requirements; avoided 1 vendor with inadequate security controls; reduced documentation time by 45%; established ongoing AI governance processes.
How It Works
Deep-Dive Onboarding (First 30 Days)
The first month focuses on building comprehensive context: understanding your business model, technology landscape, team capabilities, strategic priorities, and current challenges. We conduct stakeholder interviews, review documentation, assess existing systems, and establish communication cadence. This upfront investment ensures we can provide valuable guidance from day one.
Timeline: 4-6 hours of interviews and discovery in month 1
Regular Strategic Touchpoints (Ongoing)
We establish a rhythm of scheduled working sessions based on your needs—typically weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. These aren't status update meetings; they're working sessions where we review progress, evaluate decisions together, address challenges, and adjust strategy based on what you're learning during implementation.
Timeline: 1-2 hours per session, cadence based on your needs
Continuous AI-Augmented Support (Ongoing)
Between scheduled sessions, you have async access for questions and rapid assessments. Need vendor evaluation research? Our agent system delivers it in 48 hours. Architecture question requiring expert input? Email us and get response same-day or next-day. This continuous access means you're never blocked waiting for next meeting.
Timeline: 24-48 hour response time for async requests
Quarterly Strategy Reviews (Every 90 Days)
Every quarter, we conduct comprehensive strategy review: assessing progress against objectives, evaluating if priorities need adjustment, identifying new opportunities or risks, and refining roadmap for next 90 days. This ensures the advisory relationship evolves with your changing needs.
Timeline: 2-3 hour working session every 90 days
Flexible Engagement (Month-to-Month After Initial 90 Days)
After the initial 90-day commitment establishing deep context, the engagement becomes month-to-month. Scale up during intensive implementation phases, scale down during steady-state periods, or pause and resume as your needs change. You're buying partnership, not seat time.
Timeline: Flexible based on your needs post-initial commitment
