The Flagship Engagement · 14 Days

AI Opportunity Review:
a board- and examiner-ready roadmap in fourteen days.

Which AI use cases to fund. In what order. And how each one clears model risk, audit, and regulatory review — before you spend a dollar building. For executives at banks, insurers, capital markets and healthcare firms.

$7,500$4,500 founding rate 5 founding slots, traded for a written case study. Reverts to $7,500 when the cohort is filled.
Every Review begins with a fit call. If the Review isn't the right vehicle for your situation, I'll tell you there.
What You Walk Away With

Four artifacts. Zero slideware.

Every deliverable is written to be forwarded — to your board, your CFO, your model risk team, or your examiner — without you having to translate it first.

Artifact 01

Scored Use-Case Portfolio

Your top AI opportunities — typically 8 to 12 — scored on expected value, feasibility, data readiness, and regulatory exposure. Ranked so the sequence is defensible, not political.

Artifact 02

Governance Gap Assessment

Where your current posture stands against model risk expectations (SR 11-7 / SR 21-8), audit requirements, and — where applicable — EU AI Act obligations. The gate that kills pilots, mapped before you hit it.

Artifact 03

90-Day Execution Roadmap

Sequenced first moves: what to build vs. buy, a vendor shortlist where relevant, owners, dependencies, and the measurement frame that connects the work to the P&L.

Artifact 04

Executive Readout

A live working session with your leadership team to walk the findings, pressure-test the sequence, and answer the questions your board will ask — so you present it with confidence, not hope.

The 14 Days

Structured like a diligence sprint —
because that's what it is.

Days 1–2

Kickoff & executive interviews

Structured conversations with 3–5 of your leaders across business, technology, risk, and operations. I'm listening for where value hides and where governance will bite.

Days 3–7

Diagnostic

Workflow and cost-driver review, data and systems readiness, current AI initiatives (including the stalled ones — those are diagnostic gold), and your governance posture.

Days 8–11

Scoring & roadmap construction

Use cases scored, sequence built, build-vs-buy calls made, governance requirements attached to each initiative so nothing is a surprise at review.

Days 12–14

Executive readout & handoff

Live readout with your leadership team, revisions from the discussion, and final delivery of all four artifacts. You own everything.

Your time commitment: roughly 6–8 hours of leadership availability across the two weeks. Everything runs remote.

The Method Is Published

You can read the framework
before you pay for the diagnostic.

The Review runs on Enterprise Intelligence Capital Theory (EICT) — the framework I published through iProDecisions Research. It measures your organization's Intelligence Conversion Rate: how much of the intelligence you generate actually reaches an operationalized decision. Most large enterprises convert less than 10%. The Review baselines yours, identifies where the conversion breaks, and sequences the fixes by return on intelligence capital — the same logic a board applies to any other capital allocation.

Fit

Built for some organizations.
Honestly wrong for others.

The Review is for you if

  • You're a bank, insurer, capital markets, healthcare, or PE-backed firm evaluating AI deployment
  • You have pilots that stalled — or budget approved and no defensible sequence
  • Your board or examiners are asking questions you can't yet answer in their language
  • You need senior judgment in weeks, not a consulting team for quarters

It's not for you if

  • You need hands-on engineering delivered — that's a deployment engagement, not a diagnostic
  • You're pre-revenue or exploring AI casually — start with the $247 Working Session instead
  • You want validation of a decision already made — I'll score it honestly, which may not be what you're after
  • You need a big-firm logo on the cover page for internal politics
Questions Executives Ask

Before you book the fit call.

Who actually does the work?

I do — all of it. No leverage model, no analysts learning on your engagement. You get 27 years of enterprise judgment applied directly: 19 years closing $8B+ in transformation deals at TCS Americas, and four years building production agentic AI for regulated environments as Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer of CAIBots.

What do you need from us?

Access, not homework: 3–5 leadership interviews (an hour each), an inventory of current and stalled AI initiatives, and whatever documentation exists on your data landscape and governance posture. If documentation is thin, that's a finding, not a blocker.

Is our information protected?

Yes. Mutual NDA before kickoff — yours or mine. No client-specific information appears in any research, case study, or marketing without written approval. Founding-cohort case studies are approved by you before publication and can be anonymized.

Why is the founding rate discounted?

A straight trade, stated plainly: the first five Reviews are $4,500 instead of $7,500 in exchange for a written case study and a reference call. You get the identical engagement at 40% off; I get documented proof. When the fifth closes, the rate reverts.

What happens after the Review?

You own the roadmap and can execute it with anyone. Some clients continue into the Fractional Chief AI Officer retainer ($5,000/mo) to drive execution; some take it to their internal teams or an implementation partner. The readout includes my honest recommendation on which path fits — including the ones that don't involve me.

Can you deliver faster than 14 days?

Sometimes — it depends on interview availability, since leadership calendars are the long pole. Raise it on the fit call and I'll tell you honestly whether your timeline is achievable.

Bring your hardest AI question. You'll leave with a recommendation either way — even if the recommendation is that you don't need the Review.
