Rung 5 · Fractional CAIO · from $4,500 · 90 days

Baseline governance, installed in a quarter.

The 90-Day CAIO Bootstrap is a focused-scope, 90-day engagement that installs the baseline your firm needs to sanction AI with confidence. Aday Interactive, Inc. stands up a sanctioned-stack list, a ratified AI Use Policy, a staff-posture memo, and one working copilot pilot. Predictable scope, no open-ended retainer. Broader governance scopes are quoted from here.

Installed in 90 days

  • A sanctioned-stack list: the tools your firm standardizes on, ratified and documented.
  • A ratified AI Use Policy: firm-branded, scoped to your Bar / HIPAA / SEC-FINRA / fair-housing posture as an input, never a guarantee.
  • A staff-posture memo: what your people may and may not do with AI, in language they’ll actually follow.
  • One working copilot pilot: a single, real internal use case built for your vertical and running by the end of the engagement.
  • Credits toward the Install: this Bootstrap credits in full toward the $12,500 Governance Install if you continue to the full charter.

Where it leads: the top of the ladder is the Fractional CAIO retainer (Signature from $4,000/mo, Estate from $8,000/mo) for firms that want an ongoing chief-AI-officer function, or a Custom AI project from $15,000. The Bootstrap is the focused-scope way in.

FAQ

90-Day CAIO Bootstrap, questions answered

What gets installed in the 90 days?

A sanctioned-stack list, a ratified AI Use Policy, a staff-posture memo, and one working copilot pilot built for your vertical and running by the end of the engagement.

How long is the engagement and what does it cost?

It is a focused-scope, 90-day engagement from $4,500, with no open-ended retainer. Broader governance scopes are quoted from here.

How does it start?

With a short Discovery conversation that confirms scope before you are invoiced. No card is required to apply, and you must be the principal who can authorize a firm-wide engagement.

Does the Executive AI Intensive count toward this?

Not as a credit, and on purpose. The Intensive decides your governance (posture, policy, priorities); the Bootstrap installs it. They are separate pieces of work, so the Intensive lays the groundwork rather than discounting the Bootstrap. This Bootstrap credits in full toward the $12,500 Governance Install.

What is the next step up from here?

The top of the ladder is the Fractional CAIO retainer (Signature from $4,000/mo, Estate from $8,000/mo) for an ongoing chief-AI-officer function, or a Custom AI project from $15,000.

Do I also get the downloadable guides from the earlier steps?

Yes. This includes the AI-Ready Change Management Playbook from the $4.97 rung and the free AI Executive Readiness Assessment, yours to keep. Those are the downloads. The lower-rung audit, workshop, and Policy Kit are separate services, not bundled in on top of this. The Policy Kit credits toward the Executive AI Intensive; this Bootstrap credits toward the Governance Install.
