Temp.CAIO · a fractional, build-with-you approach

Most teams don't need more AI noise. They need an honest read — and someone who'll hand back the keys.

You've heard you're behind on AI. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't — and almost nobody will tell you straight, because telling you straight doesn't sell a retainer.

Scorecard takes ~3 minutes No email required A real person on the consult

We do one thing: we give you an honest read on where AI can actually help your business — and where it can't.

Then, if it's worth it, we build it with your team, on the tools you already run — and we train someone on your side to own it. You keep the capability. Not us, not a dependency.

Before you pay us a dollar

How you'll know we mean it

We'd rather show you than tell you. Three things we do that cost us something:

No email wall

Our free readiness check never asks for your email.

You can score your whole business and walk away with nothing collected. And it tells some people, plainly, that they don't need us yet.

Money-back guarantee

The first paid step is small, scoped, and guaranteed.

A focused audit with a money-back guarantee. If it isn't worth the fee, you don't pay it.

Designed to end

The whole engagement is built to end.

We hand over the controls and step out. The door stays open — call us back anytime — but you're never locked in.

Who this is for

If AI has become noise you can't quite judge — and no one on your side owns the strategy yet — you're who this is for. Independent studio or Fortune 500, nonprofit or for-profit, two people or two thousand — your size doesn't decide whether we'll work with you. What matters is that you'd rather own the capability than rent it forever.

The one thing we ask

Anyone can take the free read, no strings. But everyone we actually build with shares one commitment: to hold AI to the same standard we do — built honestly, used in the open, in service of the people it touches. Agree to that, and your size is ours to plan around — never a reason to turn you away.

What working together looks like

Three steps, each one optional — and each scoped to your team, whatever its size. You can stop after any of them and keep what you've got.

We build it with your team — then hand over the keys

We deploy it on the tools you already run and train an owner on your side. By design, we sunset: you keep the capability, an optional light check-in is offered but never pushed.

Where this comes from

Built by the team behind the Vega Musical Conservatory — a nonprofit.

We learned this approach keeping our own mission honest: you don't own the things that matter, you keep them well and hand them on. We hold your business to the same standard.

Two ways in. No wall on either.

Start wherever fits — there's no email gate before you get value.
