AI Services · Lead
An AI strategy with a budget, and an executive who owns it.
One AI roadmap for the whole business, priced and governed, and a fractional Chief AI Officer who reports on it to your board.
AI matters to your business. Who owns it?
The board wants a plan. Teams are buying tools on their own. Vendors promise everything. And no one is accountable for where AI fits the business, what it should cost and how it’s governed.
The results show it. About 5% of AI pilots achieve rapid revenue acceleration, while the rest stall with little measurable impact on P&L. Buying from specialist vendors and partners succeeded about 67% of the time, far more often than building alone (MIT NANDA via Fortune).

Why leaders choose us
Strategy from people who build and run AI
Our recommendations come from operating the systems ourselves: gateways, agents, evaluations and the cost controls around them. The plan reflects what will ship, what it will cost to run and how it will be governed.
Value in your terms
Every opportunity is sized in the measures your board already tracks: EBITDA, margin, working capital, service levels and hours returned, not model benchmarks.
Results the board can see
Results are measured against a baseline taken at the start, so the board sees what AI returned. When we recommend our own services, we say so and price them against the alternatives.
We measure our own AI first
44%
under-count in AI cost reporting, caught because two independent meters check each other, so the board sees the real bill
Nightly
an AI judge scores a sample of our AI output against versioned rubrics, so quality is measured, not assumed
Built for groups as well as single companies
PE-backed and acquisitive groups need one AI strategy across several companies. A fractional Chief AI Officer can set one AI strategy and governance charter across the group, with a roadmap for each company. Every acquisition then joins a plan that already exists, with a written record of decisions and results that buyers ask for in diligence.
What your board sees every quarter
Value against the business case
What each AI initiative has delivered in margin, working capital, service levels or hours returned, measured against the baseline taken at the start.
Spend against budget
AI spend by initiative and team, against the budget in the roadmap, with the savings found along the way.
Risk and governance
The AI risk register, decisions taken by the governance forum, and any exceptions an executive has signed.
What comes next
The next quarter’s priorities, the build, buy or partner calls behind them, and what we recommend stopping.
Who sits in the seat
Your Chief AI Officer is a senior Techtura AI leader, named in your proposal with a short bio before you sign. Behind them are the engineers who build and run our AI systems. Ask for a sample AI priority brief or board report, prepared for a fictional company, to see the format and depth first.
Who leads it
Brian Martin, Founder and CEO
Techtura’s AI strategy work is led by Brian Martin, Founder and CEO. Brian has spent more than a decade running critical technology, from the networks behind the financial markets to Amazon Web Services. He brings leadership teams and boards an operator’s view of AI: what it costs, what it returns, and the controls it needs before it touches customers or money.
How it runs
1. AI Strategy Snapshot (free)
A 45-minute conversation with your leadership team on our structured intake. Then a 2-page AI priority brief: top three opportunities, top three risks and a 90-day plan.
2. AI Strategy Sprint
3–4 weeks of interviews, workshops and analysis that end with the roadmap, the budget and the board brief.
3. A Chief AI Officer seat
We take the seat 2–8 days a month and own the roadmap: the vendors, the builds, the governance forum and the quarterly board report.
Questions leaders ask
How is a fractional Chief AI Officer different from a consultant?
A consultant hands over a report. Our Chief AI Officer owns the roadmap and budget, runs the governance forum, directs teams and vendors, and reports to your board against agreed KPIs.
Will you just recommend your own services?
Where we recommend our own services, we say so and price them against the alternatives. Plenty of roadmaps call for tools you buy, not things we build.
How is it priced?
The Sprint is a fixed fee, quoted after a short scoping call. The Chief AI Officer seat is a capped monthly retainer sized to the days you need.
What size of company is this for?
Growth-stage and mid-market companies with no AI executive, and groups that need one strategy across several companies. The commitment scales from 2 days a month for a startup to 8 for an enterprise.
Can we see an example first?
Yes. Ask for a sample AI priority brief, prepared for a fictional company, to see the format and depth before your own Snapshot.
