Questions we're asked

Is this the same as your AI consultancy?

No. The consultancy delivers a written plan. An AI lead joins your team and runs that plan for months.

Can the lead bring a team?

Yes. A lead plus engineers becomes a pod with one point of contact.

Do they handle governance?

Yes. Human approval, access rules and audit trails are part of the role from week one.

Other roles

Or combine them into a team, with a bulk discount for more than five people: team packages.
