— AI consulting · Owner-led companies, €5M–€50M
You don’t need another tool. You need someone accountable for where AI pays in your business — who builds it with your own people and leaves behind a capability your team owns.
$87,000 a year, saved — one outsourced process brought back in-house at a 50-person company. Their own team runs it today.

01 The problem
Your CFO owns the money. Your ops lead owns delivery. AI is owned by — nobody. So every AI decision lands on you: at 11pm, between everything else, with no one to check your thinking.
That’s not a knowledge gap. It’s a missing role.
Tools get bought, not used. Licenses sit on the P&L with nobody accountable for making them pay.
Every vendor demo becomes a strategy meeting. Their roadmap, not yours.
The owners who filled the seat aren’t a step ahead — they’re pulling away.
02 The method
Every process scored on where AI actually pays — one winner, committed in writing, before anything gets bought or built.
01
We walk every process your revenue flows through and score each one: what it costs per year, how well the work suits AI, where the knowledge lives.
You keepA written brief — your processes scored, one committed winner.
02
The system is built with the person who owns the process — every file path, every exception — and has to prove itself on your real work, not a demo.
You keepA working system, tested on real work by its owner.
03
What passes is written down as a playbook your team runs, corrects, and extends — when I leave, nothing leaves with me.
You keepThe playbooks, the trained team, the capability.
We don’t replace your people. We multiply them.
03 Proof
A 50-person e-commerce company paid an outside agency $87,000 a year to run one process: turning messy supplier data — half-empty spreadsheets, prices that only existed in a print catalogue — into a finished product catalogue. In 90 days, their own team took it back.
$87,000 a year (€80,000) back in the business.
Their own team runs the process — trained inside the build.
No agency. No vendor. No dependency on me.
And the next process followed: a monthly report that took a full day now takes under half.
"Every business owner I know has the same worry — AI costs explode and the tools don’t reliably do what they promise. Federico is the opposite of that: he didn’t sell us a tool or a strategy deck, he sat with my team and shipped something that works. … He’s honest about what AI can and can’t do yet, and we trust him with data that actually matters to the business."

04 The engagement
Your fractional Chief AI Officer for 90 days. The price is here — scope and fit get settled on a call.
Built for companies where one process can leak $50–100k a year — below roughly €5M in revenue, the math rarely clears my fee, and I’ll tell you that on the call. Three companies a quarter is what I can actually build with — I’m in every engagement myself. Healthcare-adjacent engagements price at a 30–80% premium; see the healthcare page.
90 days · Fractional Chief AI Officer

$10,000/month
Three companies per quarter
By day 90, your team runs an AI capability they own: your processes scored, the first system live on real work, and the playbooks written — yours.
05 Who you’d work with
A full-time CAIO is a $250k+ hire, scarce, and unproven at your size. You don’t need the salary — you need the function.
One person accountable for where AI pays, who builds it with your people and leaves the capability behind — fractional, three companies at a time. I trained as a physician before consulting, and one habit survived: examine before you prescribe. No agency behind me, no software to sell — if AI isn’t the answer for you, you’ll hear it from me first.
06 Before we talk
Then you’ll hear it from me first — that’s the point of diagnosing before treating. If the first call already shows the money isn’t there yet, I’ll tell you what’s blocking it and what would have to change, and we stop there. You keep the answer either way.
Yes — because they build it with me. The person who owns the process sits in the build sessions, is named in the playbook, and tests every run on real work. By the time I leave, the system is already theirs.
About four hours across the first two weeks: a 90-minute kickoff, one structured walkthrough of how the business makes money, and a 90-minute readout. The build weeks then take one weekly working session — usually you in the first half, your operators in the second.
— Begin with a 30-minute call
The call is free, and it works like the first hour of an engagement: you talk, I ask the questions I’d ask in week one, and you leave knowing where I’d start and why. If the Engine is the right next step, I’ll say so. If it isn’t, I’ll say that too.
