Frequently asked questions
What is Managed AI Advisory?
It's a fractional AI advisor on retainer. Instead of hiring a full-time AI engineer ($150k+/yr), you get ongoing, vendor-neutral guidance — cost monitoring, model evaluations, token optimization, vendor management, and roadmap updates — at a predictable monthly rate.
What does it cost?
Three tiers: Advisor $2,000/mo (founders & small teams), Fractional $4,500/mo (scaling SMBs), and Embedded $7,500+/mo (AI-critical orgs). No long-term lock-in.
How is this different from a full-time hire?
You get senior AI judgment without the salary, benefits, or ramp-up — and because we're vendor-neutral, we're never steering you toward something we sell.
Can you oversee implementation?
Yes. On the Embedded tier we oversee delivery partners and own the AI program end to end; on lower tiers we advise and review while your team or partners execute.
