Outsourced Chief AI Officer

Your embedded AI leadership team. We design, deploy, maintain, and evolve your AI systems while you focus on running your business.

Strategic AI Partnership

Most middle-market organizations can't justify hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer, but they need that level of strategic guidance. Our OCAO service gives you access to a team of AI experts who act as your in-house leadership—without the overhead of full-time salaries and benefits.

"We curate best-in-class AI systems, deploy them securely, maintain them proactively, and evolve them as the technology advances—so you're always at the forefront without the risk."

What's Included

Stack Design & Curation

We stay on top of the rapidly evolving AI landscape so you don't have to. We evaluate and select the best tools for your specific needs—whether that's Claude for desktop agents, OpenAI for reasoning tasks, or open-source solutions for sovereignty requirements.

  • Vendor evaluation and selection
  • Architecture design and documentation
  • Integration planning with existing systems
  • Cost optimization and licensing management

Secure Deployment

We deploy AI systems using a phased, risk-managed approach. Every deployment includes air-gapped testing, human-in-the-loop validation, and comprehensive safety protocols.

  • Air-gapped sandbox environment testing
  • Phased rollout with pilot groups
  • Human-in-loop RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback)
  • Comprehensive user training and documentation

Ongoing Maintenance

AI systems require continuous monitoring, optimization, and updates. We handle all maintenance so your systems stay secure, performant, and reliable.

  • 24/7 system monitoring and alerting
  • Performance optimization and tuning
  • Security patching and updates
  • Monthly reporting dashboards

Strategic Evolution

The AI landscape changes rapidly. We conduct quarterly technology horizon scans and strategic reviews to ensure you're always leveraging the latest capabilities without chasing every shiny object.

  • Quarterly strategic reviews and upgrades
  • Technology horizon scanning
  • New capability integration (e.g., multi-agent teams)
  • ROI analysis and optimization recommendations

Value Assurance

We track and report on the metrics that matter: automation percentage, cost savings, risk incidents (target: zero), and employee satisfaction. You'll always know the ROI of your AI investment.

  • KPI tracking and reporting
  • Automation percentage metrics
  • Risk incident monitoring (target: 0)
  • Employee satisfaction surveys

Our "Sovereign-First" Approach

Unlike other AI consultants who push cloud-first solutions, we prioritize your data sovereignty. Your data never leaves your control. We design agents that run in your environments—on-premise, hybrid, or air-gapped as needed.

This isn't just about security—it's about compliance with upcoming regulations (EU AI Act 2026, tightening U.S. data laws) and maintaining strategic control over your most valuable asset: your data.

How We Work Together

Kickoff & Assessment

If you haven't completed an AI Readiness Assessment, we'll start there. Otherwise, we review your existing blueprint and align on priorities.

90-Day Implementation Sprint

We design, build, and deploy your initial AI systems with close collaboration. Expect weekly check-ins and transparent progress tracking.

Ongoing Partnership

After initial deployment, we shift to proactive maintenance and evolution mode. Monthly calls, quarterly strategic reviews, and always-on support.
