CAIO Governance
An accountable AI executive on retainer, plus the governance system that keeps your whole AI estate safe.
The problem
A consultant leaves you a report; the accountability leaves with them. Once you have agents making consequential decisions and staff using AI daily, someone has to own it: the governance, the vendor decisions, the adoption, the board-level accountability. Most businesses have neither a spare executive nor the budget of a full-time one.
What you get
- CAIO-as-a-Service: an accountable AI executive on a monthly retainer, with an Orange AI agent workforce producing the continuous work between executive touchpoints
- The standing governance battery: AI system inventory, a pre-deployment risk gate on every new agent, a decision-rights matrix, vendor due diligence, an AI-aware incident-response plan, and AI spend governance
- Governance documents, vendor evaluations, adoption dashboards and roadmap reviews, produced continuously
- Right-sized for a real business: most of these are half-day to two-day exercises, not a legal department
How it’s structured
Four tiers, from a light quarterly sanity-check to a fractional Chief AI Office carrying board-level accountability. You step up as your AI estate grows.
90-day minimum term, then 30 days’ notice. Tier pricing is shared on a call.
Why it’s credible, and the economics. An internal full-time Chief AI Officer at a mid-sized business runs into the hundreds of thousands a year, all-in. The retainer delivers the role for a fraction of that, without the search, the equity, or the multi-year commitment. And unlike a report, a named CAIO carries ongoing accountability. Our governance is aligned to recognised frameworks: the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and the Australian Voluntary AI Safety Standard.
