AI STRATEGY FOR FUNDED, MISSION-DRIVEN ORGANIZATIONS

Aim AI at the impact you already have to prove.

You have real funding and real accountability, to a board, to funders, to the people you serve. We build AI strategy that survives that scrutiny.

THE ACTUAL RISK

Most AI spend at your scale doesn't fail loudly. It just doesn't move the number anyone's watching.

Boards approve the budget. Staff pilot a tool. Eighteen months later, no one can point to what changed. That's not an AI problem, it's a strategy problem, and it's the one we solve first.

HOW THE WORK RUNS

Strategy first. Tools last. Every build tied to a KPI a board already tracks.

1

Audit

An honest read of where you stand: workflows, data, tools, appetite for change.

2

Strategy

A plan locked to core objectives and KPIs, so every build has a number attached to it.

3

Infrastructure

Skills, tool selection, governance, marketing and revenue systems that fit your culture instead of fighting it.

4

Measure & adapt

Automated measurement of results, reviewed on a cadence, adjusted as the ground shifts.

All eight service areas

Organizations with real capital and a real mandate.

Foundations & mission-driven enterprises

$5M+ in annual funding, a board that asks for evidence, and a mission you're not willing to compromise for a shiny tool. We build AI strategy that reports cleanly to both.

Institutional backing, multiple funders, and a bar for data stewardship that a generic AI vendor won't meet. We've built for that bar, not around it.
