Don't imagine the deliverables. Read them.
Every document below is a full sample of something my clients actually receive — the monthly report, the assessment, the backlog, the policy. Open the PDFs. If this is what your leadership team is missing, you'll know by page two.
What the retainer delivers, in writing
The advisory seat is $15,000/month. These six documents are why it isn't a leap of faith — this is the paper trail one composite client generates in a single quarter.
8 pages · the flagship monthly deliverable
The Monthly AI Executive Report
Adoption metrics, shipped work, the scored backlog, blocked decisions, risk notes, vendor updates, and the next 30 days. The written record that makes the retainer concrete.
6 pages · updated every month
The AI Opportunity Backlog
Eighteen candidate workflows scored on impact, feasibility, data tier, and time-to-value — including the killed list, kept visible on purpose.
4 pages · monthly governance artifact
Governance & Risk Review
What's approved, what's exposed, what changed: exception requests, near-misses, and a risk register with owners and dates.
3 pages · quarterly money memo
AI Investment & ROI Memo
Every initiative gets a verdict in writing — fund, hold, or kill — with the P&L line it moves and the math shown.
3 pages · during any build
Implementation Oversight Brief
What I pushed back on, the go/no-go gates, and the acceptance criteria — supervision of the builder, documented, even when the builder is my own firm.
4 pages · the enablement program
90-Day Adoption & Training Plan
Champions, a training calendar, measurement from week one, and the playbook for when a department stalls. Unused tools have zero ROI.
What the Assessment produces
The AI Executive Assessment is the two-week, fixed-price front door ($5,000–$7,500, credited toward advisory). This is the actual output.
12 pages · the board-ready readout
The AI Executive Assessment Report
Stakeholder findings, the shadow-AI audit, a workflow and data-source map, five scored use cases, the architecture recommendation, and a 90-day roadmap.
4 pages · private vs. commercial vs. hybrid
Architecture Decision Memo
The decision record for a composite client — where I recommend against private AI because the arithmetic said so. That honesty is the product.
4 pages · scored, never a reseller's quota
Vendor & Model Evaluation Brief
Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot scored against one firm's data tiers and workflows — gates first, weighted criteria second, price last.
Governance, ready to follow
3 pages · the one-page policy, plus the desk card
AI Acceptable Use Policy
Data tiers, approved tools, and six rules people can actually follow — proof that governance at 50–500 people fits on a page.

The AI Readiness Checklist
Ten minutes with your leadership team and a clear read on where you stand. One scoring band reads: "you have shadow AI, not an AI strategy."
This is what a seat looks like.
If reading these made your current AI reporting feel thin, that's the gap the advisory seat closes. Start with the Assessment — two weeks, fixed price, credited toward the retainer.
