For leaders who want to drive.
An advisory engagement for the operator who wants to build the AI capability inside their own team. Strategy, training, and an honest roadmap. No build commitment, no software pitch.
Not a slide deck. A working playbook.
The output of every Sync engagement is something the operator can act on next week. The deliverables look different from a typical consulting deck.
Four principles of a consulting engagement that ships.
Most consulting engagements end with a deck on a shared drive. Ours end with something running in production, even if it is a small thing.
- 01
Vendor-neutral.
We make money on the partnership, not on a referral. If a vendor is the right call, we say so. If we cannot beat their offering, we tell you to buy theirs.
- 02
Senior-led.
Sync's CEO leads every engagement personally. No analyst hand-offs, no rotating account teams. The person scoping the work is the person doing the work.
- 03
Build-aware.
Every recommendation is sized by an engineer who could ship it tomorrow. No fantasy roadmaps.
- 04
Time-boxed.
Engagements are 2 to 8 weeks. Long enough to do real work, short enough to force decisions.
Three shapes of a consulting engagement.
Most engagements take one of these shapes. Pick the one that matches where your team is right now, or tell us we are wrong and we will build a custom one.
Executive Briefing.
Half-day with leadership. We map the highest-leverage AI opportunities for the business and answer the questions the board is already asking. On-site or virtual.
AI Audit.
Walk the workflows, name the highest-ROI builds, deliver a prioritized list with rough effort estimates. Ends with a decision: build, buy, or wait.
Roadmap Engagement.
The audit, plus architecture for the top three opportunities, plus a vendor short-list for anything we recommend buying. Ends with a 90-day plan.
Build Coaching.
We pair with your engineers on a real first AI build. They keep the code. We keep the office hours running for 30 days after.
Department Sprint.
Embedded with one team (sales, ops, support). Audit the workflows, ship two AI tools the team actually uses, leave a measurable productivity baseline behind.
Fractional CTO.
Monthly retainer. Strategic technology counsel, vendor evaluations, hiring oversight. For founders who need a CTO in the room without committing to a full-time hire yet.
From kickoff to decision document.
The shape of a typical 4-week engagement. Real-world engagements compress or expand based on the question.
Walk the business.
Two days on-site or deep video. Talk to operators, watch the work, document the friction.
Name the opportunities.
Working sessions to score every candidate by ROI, effort, and risk. Cut the list to the top three.
Architect the top three.
Real architecture for each. Effort estimates from an engineer. Vendor short-lists for any buy recommendations.
Deliver the playbook.
Decision document, 90-day plan, and a debrief with the leadership team. We answer questions for 30 days after.
What is the AI question your team has been stuck on?
A 30-minute call costs nothing. We will tell you whether a consulting engagement, a build, or just an answer is the right next step.
