What it does
AI consulting at Plainbuilt is a fractional AI lead embedded in your operation 2 days a week for 90 days. It starts with a 30-minute working session, audits your workflows, produces a written build plan, and ships your highest-priority system inside the 90 days, with ROI measured against your baseline. Not a strategy deck that sits in a drawer.
It gives a $5M to $50M business the technical leadership to choose, build, and measure AI without a full-time executive. The fractional lead audits your workflows, tech stack, data, and team; picks the top 3 opportunities by ROI; writes a 12-month roadmap with a business case, vendor recommendation, budget, and success metric for each initiative; leads vendor selection and build sprints; drives adoption; and reports ROI monthly against your baseline.
It fixes four common situations: you know AI matters and every vendor pitches something different; a past AI experiment that nobody adopted and still costs $2K a month; a VP of AI you cannot justify at $250K+; and projects that launch with nobody driving adoption or holding vendors to account.

How pricing works
Pricing depends on which modules you deploy, the integrations involved, and how much is custom to your operation. Most clients start with a single module and expand once it proves out. You'll get a clear, itemized quote in the working session.
Common questions
What is fractional AI leadership?
A chief AI officer who works with your company part-time, typically 2 days a week, for a defined engagement. You get executive-level AI leadership and implementation oversight without the $250K+ salary of a full-time hire.
What size of company is this for?
Businesses running $5M to $50M in revenue that know they need AI but have no internal technical leadership to evaluate, implement, and measure it. Too large to ignore AI, too lean to justify a full-time executive.
What happens after the 90 days?
You have a validated roadmap, 1 to 2 systems already live and delivering ROI, and documentation your team can keep executing from. Many clients extend to a monthly advisory retainer.
Do you implement or only advise?
Both. The first 90 days includes hands-on implementation of your highest-priority system. We do not hand you a PDF; we ship working automation and prove the ROI before the engagement ends.
How is this different from hiring an AI agency?
An agency builds what you ask for. A fractional AI lead works out what you should be building in the first place, then oversees the build, whether your own team does it or a vendor like us. Strategy, execution, and accountability in one role.
