Senior strategic capacity on retainer, with access to our AI agent team, for founders, CEOs, and COOs who need ongoing strategic thinking but don't need, or can't yet justify, a full-time executive hire.
The retainer ends the scramble of re-explaining your business every time a decision comes up. You get a partner who already knows the context and is on call for the decisions that matter. We scope it to your needs each month instead of selling a fixed package.
A senior partner in the room for the calls that matter: pricing, hiring, positioning, the AI bet you're weighing.
The metrics that show whether the strategy is working, kept current. No quarterly deck that's stale by the time you read it.
Test a move before you make it. Bring the decision as it comes up, and don't wait for the next scheduled session.
Our AI agent team is on tap for fast research and modeling, so answers arrive in weeks instead of the back half of a quarter.
Someone who knows your business, your data, and your constraints. No fresh SOW and no re-briefing every time something comes up.
For companies working on AI adoption without a full-time exec, this retainer works as a fractional CAIO: judgment on where AI fits, what to build, and how to govern it.
The retainer runs on a rhythm that repeats every month, plus the availability that makes it useful in between. Scope flexes to what you need. This is a standing relationship, not a project with an end date.
We learn your business in depth first: the data, the goals, the people, the constraints. That comes before the first real decision.
Decisions, dashboards, and reviews on a set cadence, so you always have a standing checkpoint on the strategy.
Something comes up before the next meeting, and you don't wait for it. That's why you'd choose a retainer over a project.
A deliberate pause to ask whether we're still pointed the right way, before the next quarter's decisions compound.
The retainer tends to fit one of three moments. If one of these sounds like where you are, it's worth a conversation.
You ran a Strategy Sprint and have the plan. Now you need help steering it month to month. Decisions come up that the original plan didn't fully anticipate.
A company that needs a Chief AI Officer's judgment on adoption, build-vs-buy, and governance, but the decision volume doesn't justify a full-time CAIO salary yet.
A founder or CEO who wants a senior strategic sounding board on standing call: someone who pushes back instead of just agreeing.
This isn't the right fit for a single decision with a clear deadline. That's a Strategic Diagnostic or a Strategy Sprint. The retainer is for the decisions you can't fully predict yet.
Tell us where you are: post-Sprint, weighing an AI hire, or wanting a sharper sounding board. We'll scope a retainer to fit, starting with the first conversation.
