AI Platform Diagnostic

Find out exactly what stands between your pilots and production.

Two weeks. Fixed price. Your platform scored against the nine capabilities that separate a demo from a production system — and a ranked plan naming who owns closing each gap.

Who this is for

Leaders who recognize one of these

We have working pilots, but no platform strategy to scale them.

We're running agents in production but can't tell when they're quietly failing.

We're getting bills for AI tool-use but can't tell what's driving cost or value.

Typically a CTO, VP of Engineering, or Head of Data at an organization with 200+ engineers, one to three AI systems in or near production, and a board asking when the investment pays off.

What you get

Four deliverables, all yours to keep

Scored against the same nine capabilities set out in full on the platform control reference, so you can see the method before you buy it.

01

A scored assessment

Every control across all nine capabilities marked built, assigned, or unowned. The third category is where the risk lives, and it is usually the largest.

02

The five gaps that matter

Ranked by operational risk against cost-to-close, so the next quarter of platform investment goes to the right gap rather than the loudest one.

03

A 90-day remediation plan

Sequenced, with named owners and engineer-week estimates, written so it can go to your leadership team as-is.

04

A one-hour readout

To you and whoever you want in the room — including the part where I tell you which of your current initiatives I would stop.

How it runs

Ten working days

1–2
Document review and read-only system access. Architecture, runbooks, incident history, current roadmap.
3–7
Six to eight interviews — platform, data, security, and the product teams actually shipping on it.
8–9
Scoring and synthesis against the nine capabilities.
10
Readout, plan delivered, questions answered.

Your team spends roughly one hour each, plus two hours of yours. That is the entire ask.

Price

$12,500

Fixed. Half on signature, half on delivery. No hourly billing, no scope changes, no expenses. If you continue into a fractional engagement afterwards, the fee is credited in full.

Guarantee

If the readout does not surface at least three material gaps your team had not already prioritized, there is no invoice. You keep the assessment either way.

Scope

What this is not

Most organizations take the 90-day plan and run it with their own team. That is the intended outcome, and the plan is written to be executed without me. Where the gap turns out to be leadership rather than capacity, that is what a fractional engagement is for.

Thirty minutes to confirm the diagnostic is the right instrument for where you are. If it is not, I will say so.
