Three phases that close the gap between the AI you bought and the AI your team actually uses. Start anywhere. Stop anytime. Independent of every vendor on your invoice — paid only by you.

You signed the company up for ChatGPT Teams, Copilot, or Claude. The press release went out. Then the gap opened up between the seats you're paying for and what your team actually does on a Tuesday.
Half your AI seats sit unused while renewals keep climbing
Two power users built clever workflows nobody else can replicate
Competitors keep announcing breakthroughs you can't tell are real
Vendors, consultants, and IT all have a reason not to fix it
You don't need another tool. You need someone in your corner whose only job is making the tools you have actually work.
25+ years shipping software. 10+ years in production AI. Four hype cycles survived. I built the Advocate role because 80% of the value a team needs is usually already sitting unused in tools they've already paid for — and audits without follow-through end up filed in Notion, never read.
The work isn't done until your team uses AI without me in the room.

Not the consultancy's. Yours."

Hands-on with your team and embedded in your Slack or Teams — like a coworker, not a consultant. Build the agents, skills, and workflows the audit prioritized. Train your power users to share, not hoard. Weekly office hours. Monthly executive readout. Adoption is the deliverable.
Your fractional AI partner. Quarterly stack reviews, vendor evaluations, new-tool diligence, executive briefings, and ad-hoc support as new models and workflows emerge. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.
The audit isn't a deliverable, it's a starting line. The 90-day bundle includes the audit and 75 days of hands-on activation — so the quick wins actually ship while the team is still paying attention.

"We cut $48,000 in AI seats nobody used."
"73% of our team is now using AI weekly — up from a handful of power users."
"We shipped three quick wins the team actually uses every day."
"Here's our 90-day plan for the next initiative — with the data to back it."
Then your AI Advocate gets quieter, because your team doesn't need them in the room as much. That's the point.
The seats keep autorenewing. Adoption stays flat. Your power users keep being your power users — until they leave for somewhere that gives them more leverage.
You hire a consultancy. You get a 50-page deck. The deck gets filed in Notion. Six months later you can't remember what was in it.
Next quarter the board asks for an AI update. You give the same answer you gave last quarter, slightly rephrased. The bill arrives six months late, in credibility instead of dollars.
The budget is the obvious loss. It's not the biggest one.
Consultants leave when the deck is done. Advocates stay until your team is actually using AI without me in the room. The deliverable isn't a report, it's adoption.
During the engagement I'm a guest in your Slack or Teams — named channel, North America business hours, immediate response, like one of your coworkers. Questions are how your team builds confidence with these tools, so I'd rather get the message in real time than have it die in someone's drafts until next standup. To be clear: this is AI advocacy, not IT support — I'm there to unblock thinking and adoption, not to reset passwords. After-hours or infrastructure issues, email.
Their job is to keep you on their tool. Mine is to make sure you have the right tools and use them well — which sometimes means cancelling theirs. I sell no software. I take no referral fees. I'm only paid by you.
No. Start with the audit. If the report is enough and your team can run with it, we shake hands and call it done. Most teams find that getting the audit done without activation is the slow path to nothing shipping — but the choice is yours.
That's a finding worth having. If your AI stack is genuinely well-tuned, you'll get a 1-page report saying so — and the confidence to defend that to your board. If by Day 3 of the audit it's clear it won't pay for itself, you get a full refund.
Mutual NDA before kickoff. I work from your environment, never copy data out. Interviews are confidential at the source level — the report attributes patterns, not people. If you have stricter requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, classified), say so on the first call and we'll scope accordingly.
Best fit: 25–500 person companies with at least one paid AI subscription and a leader who'd recognize themselves in the problem section above. Smaller, and the math gets thin. Larger, and the engagement gets longer and the price scales accordingly — let's talk on the fit call.
No pitch. No pressure. We'll talk about your AI stack, your team, and which phase makes sense to start with.
If we both think it fits, we kick off within 5 business days.
