Fractional Chief AI Officer & AI Strategy
We embed as your part-time Chief AI Officer — finding the AI tools that actually move revenue and cut hours, while keeping your business compliant, secure, and audit-ready. Built for owners who don't have time to become an AI expert themselves.
No credit card. No sales pitch disguised as "strategy." Just a straight answer on where AI can — and can't — help you.
The Uncomfortable Truth
Employees are pasting client data, contracts, and financials into free consumer AI tools with zero oversight. In regulated industries, that's not a productivity hack — it's a breach waiting to be filed.
A qualified Chief AI Officer costs $180K–$250K+ a year. Most businesses under 250 employees don't have that budget, and honestly don't need it full-time.
Every week there's a new "must-have" AI tool. Most are vitamins, not painkillers. Without an expert filter, you either freeze and fall behind, or buy tools that never get adopted.
Most AI consultants right now are ex-tech generalists chasing a trend. Very few understand HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, or state privacy law well enough to keep you out of trouble while you move fast.
Built For
If two or more of these are true, book the call — this is exactly who we built the practice for.
$3M–$75M revenue. Big enough to feel the AI pressure, too small for an in-house AI team.
Healthcare, financial services, insurance, legal, professional services — where a mistake is expensive.
No CTO, no internal data science team. Decisions are made by one or two people who need a straight answer.
You know AI matters. You do not have 10 hours a week to research, vet, and pilot tools yourself.
You're not chasing hype — you want fewer wasted hours, lower costs, and a real ROI story for your board or bank.
Your team isn't allergic to new tools — they just need a safe, guided way to adopt them.
What You Get
Ongoing part-time executive leadership. We sit in your leadership meetings, own the AI roadmap, vet every vendor pitch, and report ROI in numbers your CFO respects.
Shut down shadow AI risk with a real usage policy, vendor data-handling review, and a framework mapped to your actual regulatory exposure.
We find the 3–5 workflows eating your team's week and rebuild them with the right AI tools — not the trendiest ones, the right ones for your stack and budget.
For teams ready to go further: custom AI agents that handle repetitive, multi-step work end-to-end — with human oversight built in, not bolted on.
How Engagements Work

Complete your pre-call assessmentWe map your current tool usage, data flows, and compliance exposure, and prioritize the 3–5 highest-ROI opportunities — ranked by impact and effort.

As your needs grow, we scale hours up — or hand off a fully documented, compliant AI program to your internal team. Our incentive is your result, not your dependency.

Who We Are
Fractional Intelligence AI is a fractional Chief AI Officer practice for regulated small and mid-sized businesses — built by people who have actually built, sold, and supported technology inside compliance-heavy industries, not generalists who picked up AI last year.
We exist because most businesses in regulated industries don't need another AI vendor pitching the tool of the month. They need an executive who can tell them, honestly, where AI creates real leverage — and where it creates real risk. That means understanding your regulatory exposure as well as we understand the technology, and building AI programs your team can actually run without us once we've done our job.
Every framework we apply has been used to run a real compliance program — not just written about in a whitepaper.
CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, and HIPAA fluency is built into every AI recommendation from day one — not bolted on after a breach.
Our engagement philosophy, borrowed from U.S. Army Special Forces doctrine: organize, train, equip, and enable your team — not create dependency on us.
