Fractional advisory

Senior technical judgment without a full-time executive hire.

A defined monthly relationship for founders, product, engineering, security, counsel, or investor teams that need recurring technical judgment across AI systems, vendor claims, customer review, and launch decisions.

What you receive

Concrete outputs for a specific decision.

  • Defined monthly access window and response expectations
  • Recurring technical review of AI-security, product, and customer materials
  • Practical written notes, decision memos, or leadership meeting preparation as scoped
  • A clear path for urgent leadership, customer, legal, or incident questions
  • Quarterly review of recurring themes and recommended next actions

01

When fractional advisory makes sense

  • Your organization is shipping or buying AI systems faster than one-off reviews can keep up.
  • Founders, executives, or investors need a trusted technical reviewer available on short notice.
  • Customer diligence, procurement, or board questions arrive unpredictably.
  • You need senior AI-security and systems judgment without adding a full-time executive role.

02

Included support

Technical review

Architecture notes, vendor claims, security questionnaires, agent permissions, RAG boundaries, MCP/tool scopes, and launch-readiness materials.

Decision support

Short written recommendations, meeting preparation, customer-call support, board framing, and next-step scoping.

Signal over noise

Priority guidance on what materially changes risk, what is speculative, and what can wait for a later assessment.

Limits

Scope and assumptions stay explicit.

  • Fractional advisory is not a substitute for managed security operations, help desk work, continuous monitoring, or broad vCISO ownership.
  • Hands-on testing, certification, and formal assessment packages are scoped separately.

Next step

Start with the decision and the system boundary.
