AI advisory & assessments — Richmond, VA
Decide what to do with AI.
Then build the first version.
I spent 13 years as a co-owner and operator of an IT firm, hired hundreds of people, and built AI systems that are still running inside companies like HHHunt. I help owners and executives decide what AI is worth doing — and what isn’t — then build the first version with your team.
01 — Engagements
Two ways to work with me.
AI Advisory
A standing seat at your leadership table.
For CEOs, CFOs and COOs of $20M–$500M companies.
I review every AI proposal, vendor pitch and budget line that crosses your desk, write the use policy your board can sign, and tell you no before it costs you. Monthly retainer, no hours to count.
Price
$5,000 / month
Term
3-month minimum, then month-to-month
Cadence
Weekly 60 min with you · one leadership-meeting seat a month · written review within 2 business days
You get
Board-ready AI use policy · vendor and proposal reviews in writing · quarterly AI spend and risk memo
Opportunity Assessment
Two weeks. A fixed fee. A roadmap you can act on.
For owners of $3M–$15M businesses.
I catalogue your tools, processes and people, score every opportunity on value and readiness, and hand you a roadmap, a workbook and a proposal for the first build. If step one is “get a CRM,” the roadmap says so.
Price
$6,500 fixed · 50% at kickoff, 50% at readout
Term
About two weeks
Cadence
60-min kickoff · 3–4 stakeholder sessions · 60-min readout
You get
Scored roadmap (value × readiness) · full workbook · written summary · scoped proposal for the first build
02 — Approach
What I won’t do.
01
Recommend a tool I’m paid to recommend.
I take no vendor referral fees.
02
Build before there’s a decision framework.
Automating a broken process just makes it fast.
03
Work with an executive who won’t show up.
If the owner isn’t in the room, the engagement doesn’t start.
You don’t need a 50‑page AI strategy.
You need to know which three things to do first.
Happy to put you in touch with a current client.
