Most leaders don't call me because something's broken. They call because they're about to make a decision they can't take back — and they want someone in the room who isn't selling them anything.
I find the ground truth, tell you the path I'd take and why — in plain English — and I stay accountable while it gets built. Six ways that work, below. Start with what's keeping you up.
Every engagement is vendor-neutral: I don't sell software, I don't take commissions, and I stay accountable past the recommendation. Start with the one that fits.
You already have an MSP or IT vendor — but no independent way to know whether they're earning their invoice or quietly costing you more than they save.
What you get
Engagement: standalone review · or folded into ongoing counsel
Request Executive Counsel › More information ›Too many vendors treat a sovereign nation as a procurement category — extracting data, locking in dependency, and leaving the community less capable than before. Your data tells your story, and it belongs to you.
Every engagement builds internal capacity — so your nation stays the expert in the room, not a dependent of outside vendors.
A council approves a fund. Then someone has to actually build the technology behind it — eligibility tracking, disbursement, device or service fulfillment, reporting the funder will accept. That's the part vendors skip and grants stall on.
Scoped to the fund's rules and the funder's reporting requirements — so the money moves, and the paperwork holds up.
MIT found 95% of enterprise AI initiatives produced no measurable impact on the bottom line — almost always because the organization wasn't ready, not because the technology failed.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Two to three weeks. You walk away knowing exactly where you stand and what to do first — before you spend a dollar on AI. It's the read every other engagement builds on.
The technical plan for a system, documented before anyone writes code or signs a vendor. It's how you avoid the six-figure mistake.
A hard look at the stack you've got against the goals you actually have. Where it's misaligned, where it's redundant, where it's a risk waiting to surface.
A sequenced plan to fold new AI or technology into how you already work, without blowing up operations.
Each of these can start from the assessment or stand on its own. This is where advice turns into results you can defend.
AI is now a board-level question, vendor decisions are stacking up, and no one on your team can say what AI will actually earn or save you — but the problem doesn't justify a full-time technology executive at $250K+.
What you get
Engagement: $3,000–$8,000 / month · the natural next step after an assessment
More information ›Your people already use AI far more than leadership thinks — often pasting client, patient, or member data into public tools. Regulators and licensing boards won't care that it was "just AI" when it becomes a breach.
What you get
Engagement: scoped from the assessment · fixed-scope or ongoing
More information ›Most advisors hand you a slide deck and disappear. The build is exactly where the six-figure mistake gets made — the wrong architecture, the wrong vendor, scope no one held to account.
What you get
When the answer is build, we build
Engagement: project-based · priced to scope after the blueprint
More information ›I use AI to make good people faster, sharper, and harder to beat — never to replace them. Better, faster, stronger: the goal is a business that grows and hires more humans, not fewer.
No pitch deck. No sales process. Just a straight conversation about what you're facing.
