Ongoing strategic direction for your AI — set by someone who has done it before, embedded in how your management already works.
Mid-market companies face the same AI questions as large enterprises — which models, what governance, what to build versus buy — without the budget or need for a full-time Chief AI Officer.
Klaut provides that capability fractionally: the judgment and accountability of an executive, sized to your stage.
Sets AI strategy across every layer of management and keeps it coherent as the landscape shifts.
For smaller operators: what to adopt first, what to ignore, and how to do it without overspending.
For founders and leaders making AI calls under ambiguity. One person to call before the meeting.
Klaut holds the strategy; your team keeps the controls. Three beats, repeated — with a written record at each one.
Monthly. What to build, what to defer, what to kill. Ranked, with the reasoning attached so the next quarter can read it.
Model picks, vendor changes, governance calls. Written in your wiki, in your voice. The CAO signs them.
Drift, eval, customer signal — reviewed monthly with your team. Problems get caught before they reach a customer.
If we step away after a quarter, the next person inherits these and keeps going.
Thirty-minute call with the principal who would hold the role. We’ll tell you whether a fractional CAO is the right answer for you — and if it isn’t, who is.
