No. We never need login credentials or system access. We work from a tool inventory you fill in, software invoices you share, and an anonymous employee survey your team completes in their own time. All data handling is confidential and covered by an NDA before we start.

Minimal. The manager filling in the tool inventory sheet needs about 20 to 30 minutes. Individual team members need 5 minutes each for the survey. The only calls are one 20-minute kickoff and one 30-minute debrief. Total time from your team is under 2 hours across 5 days.

Yes. The survey has no required name field. We never share individual responses with your management team. We present only aggregated findings in the report, so employees can be honest about what is not working without fear of attribution.

Yes. After an AI Stack Review, the Fractional AI Officer retainer provides ongoing support, from a monthly strategy call and renewal decision support on Essential to full AI stack oversight and ROI tracking on Full Engagement. You can cancel anytime.
