Engagements
Most stalled AI programs are not stalled on tools. They are stalled because no one in the organization is operating the system the way agentic work requires — specification, validation, orchestration, delivery. These engagements install that function, or rent it while you build it.
Stack Audit
A written diagnostic of where your AI program actually is, layer by layer. Specifications, validation, orchestration, delivery: what is present, what is missing, and which gaps are quietly converting into stuck pilots. Prioritized findings, not a slide deck.
Architecture Engagement
A design pass that turns a stuck program into something a team can build against. Specifications written. Architecture drawn. Handoff to your delivery organization. The artifact is the architecture — this is not a delivery engagement.
Architect-CEO Advisory
Ongoing engagement for organizations that have recognized the missing function but are not ready to install it permanently. Architectural review of in-flight work. Calls when the work needs them. Governance on how AI moves through your delivery pipeline.
Common questions
How do these engagements start?
Send a note from the form below. I respond within a few days. The first conversation is a 30-minute call to confirm whether one of the three engagements actually fits what is stuck, or whether a different shape of work would serve better.
Who do you work with?
CTOs, CEOs, and heads of engineering at organizations whose AI program has stalled on something other than the model. The work assumes you already have engineers and access to AI tools; what is missing is the operating system around them.
What does the stack audit produce?
A written diagnostic, organized layer by layer: specifications, validation, orchestration, delivery. Each finding identifies what is present, what is missing, and which gaps are converting into stuck pilots. Findings are prioritized. There is no slide deck.
Is the architecture engagement a delivery engagement?
No. The artifact is the architecture — specifications, designs, and the handoff to your delivery organization. I do not run sprints, manage your engineers, or write production code. That work belongs inside your team.
How does the advisory retainer work?
Fractional. A monthly cadence of architectural review of in-flight work, with calls available when the work needs them. Suited to organizations that have recognized the missing function but are not ready to install it permanently.
