The problem
You need Staff/Principal-level platform judgment on the AI roadmap, but not a full-time hire — and not a junior contractor learning on your production account.
The approach
Retained senior leadership, 1–3 days per week: technical direction, architecture review, hiring signal, and hands-on work where it moves the needle. Named accountability, not a rotating bench.
Engagement
Retained 1–3 days/week, monthly, with a minimum term.
What's delivered
- Technical direction and architecture review on the AI/platform roadmap
- Production-safety and cost governance held to a senior standard
- Mentorship and hiring calibration for your platform team
- Hands-on delivery on the highest-leverage problems
The outcome
Senior platform leadership on the roadmap without the cost or latency of a full-time hire.
