Prove what your AI is worth.
Fund, fix, defend or stop.
Your company is spending real money on AI. Most leadership teams still can’t say what it returns. I help you name the result each AI initiative should move, measure it honestly and make the call.
The method
How AI value gets proven
Missing is missing
Data you don't have is shown as missing, never as zero. Decisions built on invented numbers don't survive the board meeting.
Cost isn't ROI
AI spend only becomes a return when there's a real result to measure it against.
Every initiative gets a plan
A named result, a baseline, a guardrail and an owner, written down before anyone claims success.
“Not known yet” is allowed
Gaps go into the measurement plan instead of stalling the work.
Every review ends in a decision
Fund it, fix it, defend it or stop it. No more status updates that change nothing.
Ways to work together
Start where you are
AI Value Diagnostic
Fixed fee · 3–4 weeks
We pull your AI spend and usage together across model providers, clouds and data platforms, then give you a findings readout, a measurement plan for your top three initiatives and a clear call on each.
Fractional Chief AI Officer
Monthly retainer
Senior AI leadership without the full-time hire: portfolio governance, quarterly value reviews for the CEO, CFO and board, vendor and renewal strategy, and build-vs-buy and model choices.
AI Economics Sprint
4–6 weeks
Lower the cost of every good outcome: model routing, smaller and open models, and savings that fund your next AI initiative.
Architect, Evaluate & Build
Project
Agents, MCP integrations, evaluation pipelines and data platforms, built end to end or embedded with your team, with measurement in from day one.
