Three ways to put us in the room.

The majority of large companies have or are hiring a Chief AI Officer. Their counterparts at the 20-to-200 person scale have the same adoption gap, the same vendor noise, and a fraction of the budget. The executive seat exists. The headcount does not.

A Fractional CAIO engagement puts a named principal in that seat for a defined term. Strategy. Architecture. The hard calls about what to build, what to buy, and what to ignore. The work that gets done in a boardroom, not on a deck.

Aaron Lamb is the named principal. He runs Hexaxia AI and Hexaxia Technologies, the AI-native MSP it ships alongside, builds the products this practice runs against, and shows up to the conversations that decide where AI fits in your business. Not a consultant cycling client to client. The same operator who runs our own shop.

The engagement includes all three Hexaxia frameworks as the policy substrate. AGF defines what the systems are allowed to do. APF defines how they behave. ASIP defines how they change, keeping every update under human review so the AI you put in place does not drift out from under you. Proprietary, internal documents your team sees in detail during onboarding and can cite in your own security and compliance posture. See the frameworks.

Build-with is not a consulting report. It is a sprint your team runs with ours embedded in it. We open PRs, write the architecture doc, sit in the standup, and leave you with a system that works instead of a deck that describes one.

Every engagement runs against a defined outcome. A working retrieval pipeline. An agent that does the job. A vendor migration you actually finished. We set the scope with you, the deadline is real, and the deliverable is code in your repo with your name on the commit history.

We move fast because we run our own infrastructure. RhizomeRAG for memory. Hextant for the strategic context. The same primitives we ship as products are the ones we bring to your stack. You inherit our tooling without paying for the rebuild.

Some decisions deserve a focused outside read. An architecture you are about to commit to. A vendor contract you are about to sign. A team build you want to validate before you start hiring against it. The kind of question where a generalist answer is worse than no answer.

Advisory is point-of-decision work. We come in for a specific question, do the read, deliver a written judgment with the reasoning, and leave. No retainer. No ongoing relationship implied. A clean second opinion from operators who have shipped the thing you are about to ship.
