The Ladder

Five rungs. Start on the one that fits.

Every engagement is a rung on the same ladder. Most people start at the bottom and stop when the problem is solved—that is the point, not a failure.

Start with a 90-minute AI Adoption Working Session

A paid, 90-minute session that turns one real workflow into a working AI pattern—plus a one-page memo you can forward. $500 for one, $900 for two. The lowest-friction way to find the right first step.

Single session

One workflow, ninety minutes, one memo.

$500/ 90 min session

  • 90-minute live working session
  • Workflow request reviewed before the session
  • One-page follow-up memo within 48 hrs
  • 30 days of light email follow-up
Best for recurring patternsTwo-session pack

Set the pattern, then extend it.

$900/ two sessions

  • Two 90-minute sessions, 2–3 weeks apart
  • Session 1: set the pattern on one workflow
  • Session 2: extend, or take on a second workflow
  • Two memos, plus a short between-session check-in

Saves $100 versus two single sessions.

When the session confirms a larger opportunity, AI Integration Consulting is where the work continues.

Common Questions

How quickly can you start?
Most engagements begin within one week of signing. For urgent needs like technical due diligence during an active deal, we can mobilize within 48 hours.
I don't have any engineers. Why would I need a fractional CTO?
Most clients don't have any. You don't need someone to manage a team you don't have — you need someone who's evaluated enough vendors and contracts to tell you plainly when something's off before you sign it. Access is as-needed, not a retainer sized for a company you're not.
What industries do you work with?
Mostly small, owner-operated businesses — home services, healthcare-adjacent practices, professional services, e-commerce. The common thread isn't industry, it's size: businesses without in-house technical staff who need a straight answer before making a technology decision. We're Phoenix-based with nationwide service (remote-first with occasional on-site visits).
Do you work with companies outside Phoenix?
Yes. While we’re based in Phoenix, we serve companies nationwide. Most of our engagement is remote, with on-site availability for Phoenix-area clients when needed.
What does the free discovery call involve?
It’s a 30-minute conversation focused on your specific challenges—not a sales pitch. We’ll discuss your current technology landscape, identify the biggest opportunities for improvement, and honestly tell you whether our services are the right fit.
