Owners and executives
who keep hearing "we should use AI" but have no plan behind it.
Fractional Chief AI Officer
Get your AI decisions on paper before you buy more tools
Everyone on your team is trying a different AI app. Nobody owns the results, the risks or the bill. Our team, led by Ray Collazo as your Fractional Chief AI Officer, runs a Leadership AI Blueprint that sets the priorities, names the owners and puts controls in place.
Who it's for
Built for leaders who are done with AI pilots nobody owns
Teams with tool sprawl
five AI subscriptions, three experiments, zero decisions.
Companies without a full-time AI leader
that need executive-level direction without another executive salary.
Operators running CRM or ERP systems
who want AI to fit the systems they already have.
Not sure you're a fit? That's what the first call is for.
The deliverable
What the Leadership AI Blueprint covers
A fixed, written deliverable. Builds stay separate until you accept them.
01
Stakeholder discovery
we talk to the people who will actually use, run and pay for AI.
02
Use-case inventory
every AI idea, tool and experiment in one list.
03
Objectives and current-state map
where your workflows and systems stand today.
04
Risk and ownership matrix
who owns each AI decision and what could go wrong.
05
Three-workflow roadmap
your top three priorities, each with a build, buy or partner record.
06
Policy starter pack
a starting AI use policy for your legal and security teams to review.
07
Leadership decision session
we walk your leaders through it and get decisions on record.
What it is not: not built agents, not certified compliance, not a promised return. It's decided priorities and named owners.

Good questions
Questions
Do you build the AI agents as part of the Blueprint?
No. The Blueprint is the plan, owners and controls. Implementation is a separate scope you accept first.
Does this replace our IT or technical leadership?
No. Your organization keeps its accountable owners. We give them direction and a shared plan.
Is this only for large companies?
No set size. We confirm fit on the first call.
Will this make us compliant?
No. The policy starter pack is a starting point for your own legal and security review, not a certification.
What do we walk away with?
A written inventory, a three-workflow roadmap with owners, a risk and ownership matrix, a policy starter pack and a recorded leadership decision.
How much does it cost?
Scope and price are confirmed on the call, before any work or payment.
