The arrangement includes defined decision ownership, a weekly operating cadence and a monthly evidence review. Scope is agreed around the responsibilities, duration and weekly commitment your organisation needs.

Before we start
What does a fractional chief AI officer do here?
The role owns the agreed AI roadmap, important technical decisions, governance, delivery oversight and team adoption. I call this engagement Fractional AI Systems Lead. It includes defined decision ownership, a weekly operating cadence and a monthly evidence review, with the scope stating exactly what I am responsible for.
What does it cost, and how much time is included?
Fractional work starts from £3,000 per month, with the scope agreed around responsibility, duration and weekly commitment. The working arrangement is one to three days a week, remotely across the UK. The starting price does not specify a universal allocation of days; that is defined in the engagement scope.
Is this a full-time or staff augmentation role?
No, this is fractional AI systems leadership for one to three days a week, rather than a full-time role or generic staff augmentation. The work has defined decision ownership, delivery oversight and evidence reviews. I can work alongside an internal team or lead a clearly scoped workstream.
How do you judge progress?
Progress is judged against measurable objectives, agreed acceptance criteria and the evidence available. Fractional work includes a weekly operating cadence and monthly evidence review. I state the limits of that evidence and do not guarantee ROI; the scope defines the responsibilities and criteria against which the work is assessed.
