01 — THE THREE PHASES

What we do, in detail.

PHASE 01 — AI READINESS AUDIT

Find out exactly where AI fits in your business.

In 2–3 weeks, we map every workflow, system, and team in your business against the current state of AI. You leave with a prioritized roadmap, an honest assessment of risk, and concrete recommendations on what to do first — and what to leave alone.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Workflow inventory and process mapping
  • Stakeholder interviews across departments
  • Technical stack and data-readiness review
  • Competitive landscape benchmarking
  • Vendor-neutral tool evaluation
  • Risk and compliance scan

WHAT YOU GET

  • Written roadmap document (15–25 pages)
  • Prioritized opportunity matrix with ROI estimates
  • 90-day action plan with owners and milestones
  • Tool recommendations with comparison data
  • Executive readout presentation
  • 30 days of follow-up Q&A

PHASE 02 — FRACTIONAL CAIO STRATEGY

Senior AI leadership, available the way you need it.

An ongoing partnership where we sit in your leadership team as your fractional Chief AI Officer. We attend strategy meetings, vet tools as they come up, coach your managers, and own the AI portion of your operating plan — without taking a permanent seat on payroll.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Weekly or bi-weekly strategy sessions
  • Attendance at relevant leadership meetings
  • Ongoing tool evaluation and negotiation
  • Roadmap updates tied to business priorities
  • Manager coaching and team enablement
  • Direct access via shared workspace channels

WHAT YOU GET

  • Senior AI leadership without a senior salary
  • Quarterly business reviews with measurable outcomes
  • Faster, better-informed AI decisions
  • A clear stop-doing list as well as a do list
  • Continuity across vendor and tool changes
  • Month-to-month engagement — no lock-in

PHASE 03 — IMPLEMENTATION SPRINTS

We help you actually ship.

Most AI initiatives die in implementation. We work alongside your team on time-boxed sprints to actually build, deploy, and measure specific AI capabilities — from internal copilots to customer-facing automations. You keep the IP. We make sure it ships.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Time-boxed delivery sprints (typically 4–8 weeks)
  • Solution architecture and tool selection
  • Hands-on configuration and integration
  • Prompt engineering and evaluation harness
  • Team training and change management
  • Post-launch performance monitoring

WHAT YOU GET

  • Working AI deployed into your environment
  • Documentation your team can maintain
  • Baseline and post-launch metrics
  • Trained users, not abandoned tools
  • A repeatable playbook for the next initiative
  • Knowledge transfer so you don't depend on us

02 — FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Click any question to expand.

Do I have to start with Phase 1?+
No. Many clients jump directly into Phase 2 (CAIO retainer) or Phase 3 (implementation sprint) if they already have a clear sense of what they need. Phase 1 is for leaders who want a fully mapped roadmap before they invest.
How do you price engagements?+
Pricing depends on the scope, your team size, and the technical complexity. We give a fixed quote after a free 30-minute call — no surprise invoices, no hourly billing games. We're happy to talk through ranges on the call.
What if we already have an AI consultant or tool vendor?+
Good. We work alongside existing partners regularly. As your fractional CAIO we'll often act as the buyer-side check on vendor recommendations — making sure what they're selling is actually what you need.
Do you take referral fees from AI tools you recommend?+
Never. We're vendor-neutral by policy. The tools we recommend are the ones that fit your situation best — and we say so in writing in every engagement.
What industries do you work with?+
Primarily SMBs in services, SaaS, professional services, and operations-heavy industries. If you have repetitive knowledge work and an interest in doing it better, you're a fit.
Can you sign an NDA before our first call?+
Yes. Email us at hello@simplifyai.com and we'll send our mutual NDA template the same day.
