“Last month I was just asking ChatGPT to write emails. Now I’ve built a client onboarding tool, and my team probably thinks I hired a developer.”

Fractional CAIO retainer · Capped at five · By application
You already have ChatGPT. Nobody owns it. Mark does — a few hours a week. He tells you what to do next. He stays until it sticks.
Company-level training already happened. People are still asking what to do in their day. The metrics you already run have not moved.
The retainer
A standing relationship around your actual business — not generic frameworks. Custom builds are scoped separately when they make sense.
01 · Weekly
A standing 60-minute 1:1. Every call ends with a decision made and an owner assigned — never a status update.
02 · Continuous
Unlimited async access in Slack or Voxer. Forward any vendor pitch, board question, or half-formed idea and get a straight answer within one business day. Loom reviews included.
03 · Day 30
A written audit of your stack, workflows, and team — plus a ranked opportunity map with the dollar value of each. ROI stops being a guess in month one.
04 · On demand
Sequencing, owners, and honest build-vs-buy calls — written so your CFO signs off and you can defend it in the room.
05 · On demand
An honest read on every vendor pitch before you sign anything.
06 · Quarterly
Every 90 days: the metrics you already take to the board, a roadmap reset, and the exact story to tell them. Same KPIs. Faster.
How it works
A standing relationship, not a project with an end date — but the first quarter follows a clear arc. After that: ship, measure, reset.
01 · Day 0
We discuss your situation and goals. You leave with clarity on your next moves — whether or not we work together.
02 · Days 1–14
I get up to speed on your business, stack, team, and real constraints. You get your written AI Operating Baseline and a ranked opportunity map.
03 · Days 15–90
Standing weekly call plus async. A decision made every week. Most executives have 2–3 workflows automated or tools live by day 90.
04 · Day 90
The metrics you already take to the board, with a before-and-after. A roadmap reset, and the plan for the next quarter.

Under a board efficiency mandate?
The fractional CAIO retainer is the open-ended advisory relationship. AI Cost Reduction OS is the productized program built around a hard opex target — working agents, measured savings, and a number your board can hold you to. Both run 1:1 with Mark.
