We stand up and run your AI Office.
Strategy, governance, and one active initiative every month. Your AI program moves forward continuously — not project by project, not pilot by pilot.
You know AI matters. You don't have anyone running it.
Every company we talk to is stuck in one of three bad options.
$250-400K salary. 3-6 month search. The talent pool is thin, and one person still needs implementation support.
$10-50K at a time. Gaps between phases. No continuity. Every new need starts from scratch.
Employees adopt AI tools in the shadows. No governance. No measurement. Risk accumulates while competitors move.
The Spej AI Office is the fourth option.
What the AI Office includes
Strategic Leadership
- AI governance framework and policy design
- Biweekly working sessions with your leadership team
- Monthly executive briefings with progress and priorities
- Tool and vendor evaluation and recommendations
- AI roadmap ownership — we decide what gets done next, together
- Ad hoc access to our team via Slack or Teams
Continuous Execution
- One active initiative at a time, delivered in 2-4 week sprints
- Governance frameworks and policy rollouts
- Department-specific training programs
- Workflow automations and integrations
- Dashboards, reporting tools, internal apps
- Proof of concepts for larger opportunities
This is not staff augmentation. We don't sell hours. We run your AI program and deliver outcomes.
How the AI Office starts
Landscape Audit
Deep dive into your current state. Stakeholder interviews across leadership, IT, and operations. Governance audit. Technology assessment. Prioritized roadmap. You know exactly where you stand.
First Initiative Ships
The highest-ROI opportunity from the roadmap gets scoped, built, and deployed. Real value within 60 days — not a strategy document, a working system.
Continuous Execution
One initiative per month. Governance framework evolving as adoption grows. Executive briefings keeping leadership aligned. The AI Office compounds value over time.
Typical engagement: 6-12 months. Month-to-month after the initial six-month commitment.
When a bigger opportunity emerges
Some opportunities are too large for a monthly initiative — multi-month platform builds, enterprise integrations, client-facing products. When these emerge, the AI Office has already identified, prototyped, and validated them. We bring you a project proposal only when we know it works. You never commit to a big build until you've seen the proof.
Project SOWs are scoped and priced separately. Most companies find their first major project in the first 6 months.

- Starts at $15K/month
