CONSULTING RETAINER
Your AI advisor on retainer.
Monthly strategy, hands-on builds, team training, and the calm of knowing AI is handled by someone whose only job is making it pay off for you.
STARTING AT
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Monthly strategy session (60 min) — what to build next, what to kill
- Hands-on builds and tweaks each month (small to mid-size automations)
- Async access between sessions — text me when something breaks
- Team training so AI sticks in the org, not just on your laptop
- Quarterly roadmap update tied to actual revenue + time saved
WHAT’S NOT
- Massive one-off builds (full RAG systems or Agentic OS — those are scoped + quoted separately)
- 24/7 on-call support — I'm a partner, not a help desk
- Replacing your team — this amplifies them, doesn't replace them
Every retainer starts with a free AI Ops Audit. No exceptions — I won’t take you on if it’s not a fit.
WHO IT’S FOR
A retainer only makes sense if it’s the right fit.
You're past the trial-and-error phase
You've already run one or two AI experiments and you want someone who's done this dozens of times to stop the guessing.
You run a $1M–$50M business
Too big for a freelancer, too small for a Big Four consulting firm. You need senior judgment at a small-business price.
You want a partner, not a vendor
You're tired of agencies that vanish after the invoice clears. You want someone with skin in the game month after month.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No surprises.
Free AI Ops Audit
We start with a 30-minute audit. Always. No retainer signs without one — I need to know we're a fit and you need to know I'm not selling you a hammer for your screw problem.
Onboarding sprint
First 30 days: I map your systems, identify the highest-leverage automations, and ship 1–2 quick wins so the retainer pays for itself before month two.
Monthly cadence
From month two: monthly strategy session, hands-on builds in between, async access whenever something needs a brain. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
READY TO START?
Want a partner, not a vendor?
30 minutes. No pitch. No pressure. Just clarity on whether the retainer is the right move for your business.
