The right AI decisions, made once.

Attain is independent fractional Chief AI Officer advisory for founder-led, mid-market companies.

The problem

Founder-led companies are making six and seven figure AI decisions with no senior AI judgment in the room, surrounded by sellers.

A fractional Chief AI Officer is a part-time senior AI executive who owns AI strategy, vendor decisions, and governance. Attain provides the role independently: advice with nothing else attached, for companies whose AI decisions have outgrown gut feel but not yet justified a full-time hire.

Three situations this solves

  • The vendor pitch

    A convincing platform demo is on the table. The price is six figures. Nobody in the room has evaluated ten of these.

  • The board question

    The board wants your AI position at the next meeting. The honest current answer is a list of experiments.

  • The stalled pilots

    Three pilots ran this year. None reached production. Nobody owns the decision about what happens next.

Independence

Advice is the product. Nothing else is for sale.

  • We build nothing and implement nothing. Our only revenue is advice.
  • We take no vendor commissions and no referral fees. A recommendation carries no kickback.
  • We serve 5 clients at most, published as a ceiling. Attention is the raw material of judgment.

How it works

Fit call to operating rhythm

  1. Start with a fit call, or with the standalone diagnostic if you want proof before commitment.

  2. The onboarding month produces your baseline and a prioritized 90-day decision agenda. That agenda is the scoreboard.

  3. The operating rhythm works the agenda: decisions made, documented, and reviewed quarterly.

The ladder

Three tiers, published in the open

Advisory runs $6,000–$15,000 per month. Most clients engage at $10,000.

Point of view

Every seller in your AI conversation profits from a bigger build. Independent judgment is structurally different, and your next seven-figure decision deserves it.
