Fixed quote after a 30-minute call
My role
I advise. I do not implement on a retainer, so your team stays the owner.

Your team is shipping AI features and making architecture decisions every week. A retainer puts a senior reviewer in the loop before those decisions harden: each significant change gets a design review, model and vendor choices get an outside opinion, and evaluation strategy stays honest.

  4. Monthly architecture and risk memo for leadership
