A full-time hire is overkill. Salary, benefits, and ramp-up for a role that may only need a few focused days a month of senior attention.
A generalist is not enough. Asking an existing team member to “figure out AI” on top of their job gets you half-finished experiments, not systems.
An agency hands you a bill. Most stop at strategy or ship a tool you rent forever. You are left owning nothing and still dependent.
What is a fractional AI specialist?
A senior AI specialist who works for your business part-time instead of as a full-time employee. You get the strategy, judgment, and hands-on implementation of a senior hire, scaled to the hours your Atlanta business actually needs, without the salary, benefits, or hiring risk.
How is this different from hiring an AI consultant?
A consultant typically runs a defined project and leaves. A fractional specialist embeds as an ongoing part of your team, setting priorities, building systems, and staying accountable for the outcome over time. We also build what we recommend, so you get implementation, not just advice.
Do you build the systems or just advise?
We build. Strategy you then have to go execute on your own is where most engagements fall apart. We design, build, and deploy the systems, make sure they run, and hand you ownership.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how much of a fractional specialist you need. Start with the free Operational Snapshot and we will show you exactly where the business is bleeding and what it takes to fix it before you commit to anything.
