Start with the Map
Every engagement starts with a ClearPath Technology Map for $1k. You get a map of the whole operation and where it can be improved, with real numbers behind it, and a recommended engagement to achieve your goals.
See the ClearPath Technology MapStart with the ClearPath Technology Map
I spend time with you and your team learning your operation, then hand you a working plan you keep whether or not you hire me. It is technology-agnostic, so where AI is not the answer, I say so.
What the map delivers
- Your technology, mapped: every system you run, how they connect, and how work flows across them.
- The opportunities worth pursuing, each with the number it would move.
- The risks worth knowing: single points of failure, manual bottlenecks, key person and data gaps.
- Quick wins and bigger bets, sequenced for the fastest return.
- Honest "do not bother" calls, named plainly.
- A recommended engagement with a Path to Prod plan to get there.
What comes after: The map ends with the engagement that fits: Build one system, Manage the initiative, or Lead your team to the goal. You are not guessing which one you need. The map recommends it and tells you why.
See what the map includes →How an engagement works
The map ends with one recommendation: the engagement that fits your operation and achieves measurable results. There are three levels of engagement that follow the ClearPath Map: Build, Manage, and Lead.
The recommended level follows from scope and depth. Scope is set by the deliverables we agree on. Depth is set by how far the work reaches into your business. It is a predictable system that fits a single deliverable at one end and leading your whole technology initiative at the other.
The technology gets chosen for the outcome. I believe in AI and its responsible, safe use, and almost every ClearPath Map surfaces a place it pays off. It is rarely the only tool. I am pragmatic first: the right tool for the job, whatever that turns out to be.
Pricing follows the level and the outcome. Small builds start around $2k as a project and go up from there into monthly retainers for ongoing engagements.
Build
One production AI system, shipped into the workflow where it has to work.
Project based. Focused builds start around $2k.
Scope. A build with defined edges and timelines. One system or feature, one workflow, one definition of done we agree before I start.
Delivery. I run the full delivery myself: build, test, rollout, and monitoring. Your team does not have to staff it.
Complete when. It is running in production, documented, and handed over.
Not this if the scope will keep moving after launch, or the work spans several teams. That is Manage.
Manage
One accountable owner for your AI initiative, from definition to measured operation.
A monthly retainer, sized to the initiative.
Scope. A whole business pillar rather than a feature. Several systems, ongoing decisions, and real coordination across the people who touch it.
Delivery. I own the initiative and stay hands on through it. Where you have engineers, we work together and bringing them up to speed is part of the engagement. Where you do not, I deliver it and leave you able to run it.
Complete when. The initiative is in measured operation and can be run without me.
Not this if you have one bounded build, which is Build, or you need direction across several initiatives and teams, which is Lead.
Lead
Senior AI engineering leadership across your organization.
A monthly retainer for as long as you need the seat.
Scope. The capability itself. What gets built, in what order, to what standard, and whether the investment is returning anything.
Delivery. Your teams build. I lead them, set architecture and delivery standards, and stay close enough to the implementation to know whether it will hold. A player coach, not an advisor with a deck.
Complete when. Your organization owns the capability and no longer needs me in the seat.
Not this if you have one defined thing to build and no team to lead. That is Build.
The three side by side
| Build | Manage | Lead | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | One system | One initiative across a business pillar | The AI capability across the organization |
| Delivery | I run it end to end | I own it, with your team where you have one | Your teams build under my leadership |
| Complete when | It runs in production and is handed over | The initiative is in measured operation | Your organization owns the capability |

Where the map looks
The ClearPath Map reads your whole operation, but the opportunities almost always cluster in four areas of the business and the workflows that run them. This is a lens for finding them, not a menu to buy from.
Growth and demand.
How you win work: leads, follow up, quoting, conversion.
Operations and delivery.
How the work gets done: scheduling, handoffs, the manual steps that slow a day down.
Revenue and cash.
How you get paid: invoicing, collections, the gap between work finished and money in.
Retention and experience.
How you keep customers: response times, communication, the moments that decide whether they stay.
Tell me where it hurts, or let the map find it. The engagement follows from what we find.
How the work runs
Path to Prod has three steps. Scope: agree on the problem and the definition of done. Deliver: build it and ship it. Run: monitor it, measure the result, and keep it working. A plan that ends in production, not a deck. Your ClearPath Technology Map is where Scope begins.

If you are not sure which of the three you need, you do not have to guess. The ClearPath Technology Map tells you. Bring the problem and I will map the path.
