What We Do

Three pillars. One mandate:
AI that actually ships.

From deciding what to do, to making it real — we cover the entire journey from strategy to production.

Strategy

AI strategy, roadmap, investment prioritization, executive alignment.

Governance

Responsible AI, risk management, operating model, compliance.

Execution

Production AI, GenAI, agents, MVPs, enterprise adoption.

Case · Strategy

3.4× ROI

on inference spend within 9 months

Org type

US Health Plan

Goal

Choose the right mix of open- vs. closed-source models across 12 clinical and operations use cases — without locking in on one provider.

Path

Built a use-case scoring rubric (accuracy, latency, cost, PHI posture, portability), ran head-to-head benchmarks, and defined a two-tier reference architecture with escape hatches per workload.

Outcome

3.4× ROI on year-one AI spend; 47% lower total cost per resolved case vs. single-vendor baseline; roadmap approved by board.

Case · Governance

62% risk reduction

on high-severity AI incident exposure

Org type

Integrated Provider Health System, HIPAA + Joint Commission oversight

Goal

Stand up an AI governance operating model that scales with 30+ clinical and operational pilots — covering model risk, PHI, clinician bias, audit, and long-term regulatory drift.

Path

Deployed a tiered risk framework (NIST AI RMF + HIPAA controls), stood up a clinical AI review board, wired evidence capture into MLOps, and instrumented drift + red-team cadence.

Outcome

62% reduction in high-severity risk exposure; time-to-production for approved use cases cut from 9 months to 11 weeks; clean audit outcome.

Case · Execution

$4.2M saved

annualized token & inference spend

Org type

Enterprise lifesciences org, 20+ GenAI workloads in production

Goal

Bring runaway token spend under control and align $ spent to business value delivered per workload — without slowing product velocity.

Path

Instrumented cost-per-outcome telemetry, right-sized models per task, added caching + routing + prompt compression, and tied budget guardrails to product owners.

Outcome

$4.2M annualized savings (58% reduction in $/task); value-per-dollar tripled on top-5 workloads; deprecated 3 low-ROI pilots.

Fractional Chief AI Officer

Executive AI leadership for organizations where AI failure isn’t an option — owning strategy, governance, vendor selection, and the path from pilot to production across healthcare, lifesciences, insurance, and financial services. The core engagement; everything below is how we deliver it.

AI Strategy & Roadmap

A sequenced, board-ready AI roadmap tied to enterprise objectives — opportunity mapping, ROI modeling, and a 12–18 month execution plan the operating team can actually run.

AI Governance & Risk

Governance, model risk, privacy, and HIPAA-aligned controls so AI moves from lab to production safely — with the audit trail boards, regulators, and partners require.

AI MVPs & Agents

Production-grade MVPs and agentic workflows built in weeks, not quarters — from internal copilots to clinical, operational, and commercial agents that move real KPIs.

Implementation & Architecture

Technical leadership that turns the roadmap into a scalable, future-proofed AI architecture — data plumbing, platform choices, and engineering rigor your AI initiatives can stand on.

Data Foundation

The clinical, claims, and operational data plumbing AI needs to work — quality, lineage, and analytics infrastructure that maximize the value of every model you deploy.

Team Enablement & Hackathons

We upskill your existing team — executive AI bootcamps, applied workshops, and tailored hackathons that turn your people into the long-term owners of the capabilities we build.

AI Strategy Roadmapping Governance Readiness

Our Approach

Strategic vision.
Technical execution.

We don't hand over a deck and disappear. We work alongside your team — from the first whiteboard session to deployment and beyond.

  1. Discover & Align

    We immerse ourselves in your business context — understanding your goals, constraints, and existing data and technology landscape before a single line of code is written.

  2. Design & Prioritize

    We map the AI opportunity landscape, model ROI scenarios, and build a prioritized roadmap that sequences quick wins alongside strategic long-term initiatives.

  3. Build & Validate

    We develop, test, and iterate with speed and rigor — using lean MVP cycles so you see working AI systems, not presentations, within weeks.

  4. Scale & Sustain

    We architect for scale from day one — ensuring your AI systems are maintainable, explainable, and governed in line with your risk posture as they grow.
