Every engagement starts with understanding your operations — not selling you a tool. The technology recommendation follows the diagnosis, not the other way around.
Most AI vendors sell tools. We start with your operations — understanding what's broken, what's repetitive, and where your team's time is going. The right technology recommendation follows that diagnosis, not the reverse.
Every engagement is fixed-fee with defined deliverables. You know exactly what you're getting, exactly what it costs, and exactly when it's done. No surprises, no hourly billing, no scope creep.
Enterprise AI platforms assume you have an IT department and a six-month window. We work with businesses of 10–200 people who need AI running in weeks, not years — using tools your team can maintain without specialists.
A structured 40-question diagnostic that scores your organization across five critical dimensions — and hands you a prioritized roadmap for exactly where to act first.
Most companies don't know where to start with AI. They try tools, hit walls, and conclude AI isn't ready for their business. The problem isn't AI readiness — it's having no systematic way to evaluate their own operations against it.
The AI Readiness Assessment changes that. In a 90-minute session with Thelia Mead, we walk through your technology stack, business processes, BD pipeline, team readiness, and compliance posture. You leave with a scored report, a four-stage Readiness Level, and a 90-day roadmap of your top AI opportunities ranked by ROI.
Organizations that know AI can help but haven't found a clear, structured way to evaluate where to start. Also the entry point into every StrategyLINC engagement — the roadmap we produce becomes the implementation plan.
The Assessment is a standalone fixed-fee engagement. There is no obligation to continue with implementation or a retainer. Many clients choose to — but that's your decision based on the value of the roadmap you receive.
Book Your AssessmentTakes your Assessment roadmap off the shelf and builds the workflows — tools configured, automations running, SOPs written, and team trained. Clients see time savings within the first two weeks of delivery.
A roadmap sitting in a folder changes nothing. Implementation is where the value is actually created. We take the top three AI use cases from your Assessment and build them end-to-end — not just a demo, but a running system your team uses daily.
Every implementation includes written SOPs and Loom video walkthroughs so the system lives beyond the engagement. Your team knows how to use it, maintain it, and extend it without depending on us for every update.

Every Implementation client is presented with the Fractional AI Leadership retainer at the 30-day check-in — the natural next step for organizations that want to keep building.
Start ImplementationPractical AI governance for organizations that need to demonstrate responsible use to clients, partners, federal agencies, or regulators — without needing a legal team to build it.
As AI adoption accelerates, governance is becoming table stakes — especially for federal contractors. Updated OMB guidance (2025–2026) now requires agencies to document and report AI use cases. CMMC requirements for DoD contractors include AI-adjacent data handling obligations. Enterprise clients are increasingly asking vendors to demonstrate responsible AI practices before signing contracts.
StrategyLINC's AI Governance frameworks are aligned to NIST AI RMF and current federal guidance — practical, implementable documents your organization can actually use, not 200-page policy manuals that sit in a drawer.
StrategyLINC is WOSB and SDVOSB certified. AI governance consulting services are deliverable under federal set-aside contracts, BPAs, and GSA schedule vehicles. Contact us to explore procurement options.

Discuss Your NeedsMonthly AI advisory and implementation — strategy sessions, new workflow builds, team coaching, and a monthly AI Operations Report. Your embedded AI operations lead without the full-time overhead.
After the Assessment and Implementation, the question becomes: how do you keep building without losing momentum? AI isn't a one-time project — it's an ongoing operational capability that needs to be maintained, extended, and adapted as your business grows.
The Fractional AI Leadership retainer provides exactly that: a standing monthly engagement where StrategyLINC functions as your AI operations lead — reviewing what's working, implementing new workflows, training new team members, and keeping your AI operations ahead of the curve.
Three retainer clients at $2,500/month = $7,500 in baseline predictable monthly revenue for your firm. For StrategyLINC clients: three retainer engagements running simultaneously means AI is continuously compounding — not stalling after one implementation.
Assessment → Implementation → Retainer. Most clients who complete an Implementation engage the retainer at the 30-day check-in. The retainer is most valuable when you have a running system to extend.
Apply for RetainerEnd-to-end program and project management for government and enterprise clients — PMP-certified, compliance-first, and grounded in 20+ years of operational experience across DoD, DHS, DOJ, and NATO environments.
StrategyLINC's program management practice predates the AI pivot — it's the foundation the firm was built on. We bring the same operational discipline that governed mission-critical programs at the White House Communications Agency, the FBI, and NATO to your federal task orders and enterprise initiatives.
For federal contractors, StrategyLINC is available as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or teaming partner. Our WOSB and SDVOSB certifications provide set-aside procurement advantages on eligible task orders.
