Engagement model
How I Work With Founders - Three Clear Levels
I structure engagements so you get clarity fast, ongoing leverage when needed, and full production systems when you're ready.
Level 1
Level 1: Technical Clarity Package
Entry point for most founders
Turn vague ideas into a scoped, investor-ready plan. Includes structured interview, MVP/technical roadmap, architecture audit, risk assessment, and prioritized build guidance.
Best for pre-seed / validating founders who want to avoid expensive mistakes.
Level 2
Level 2: Fractional AI Architect Retainer
Ongoing technical leadership (5-10 hrs/week). Roadmap ownership, architecture decisions, production reviews, agentic workflow implementation, and velocity protection.
Best for startups that need consistent senior judgment without a full-time VP.
Level 3
Level 3: Production AI System Build
End-to-end architecture and implementation of production-grade AI systems (multi-agent orchestration, RAG platforms, scalable infrastructure).
Best for funded teams ready to move from prototype to reliable production.
The ladder compounds
Most clients start at Level 1, move to Level 2 for leverage, and engage Level 3 when scaling the core product.
Book a Discovery CallMy Leveraged Delivery System
I run my practice like a modern one-person company:
- A personal AI operating system (Agentic infrastructure + structured skills folder) that handles research, drafting, auditing, and templating.
- Every repeatable process is skill-ified for consistency and speed.
- This lets me deliver at the level of a small team while maintaining senior judgment on every engagement.
This is how I provide elite support to multiple founders without compromising quality.
