Fractional CAIO
Work With Me
Most people start with the free Score or a call. Everything else is what comes after.
No tiers. No programs. No 90-day discovery decks. Just three ways in — and what's behind each one.
Jay Templeton — Fractional Chief AI Officer. I lead teams through AI adoption and build the systems that make it stick. Co-founded and exited an AI company; built the original Microsoft 365 Copilot demos that showed the market what Copilot meant for business.

Three ways in — and what's behind each one.
Each door de-risks the next. Start where you are.
The AI Readiness Score + Strategy Call
Find out where your people and your business actually stand on AI — then talk it through.
- The scored quiz with an instant result.
- A 30-minute call: an honest read on your AI position.
- The single highest-leverage move to make next.
The AI Opportunity Sprint
Stop guessing where AI fits — get a roadmap your team will actually run.
- Leadership + operator interviews and an Impact×Effort map of opportunities.
- The ROI math and a co-created 90-day roadmap, built on the Emerging Advantage Framework.
- Fixed fee — credited toward the retainer if you continue.
Fractional CAIO
From where you are to AI running through your operations — with your team bought in.
- I lead the change and build the systems — first priority live in ~30 days.
- Then embedded as your fractional Chief AI Officer.
- Tiers: Advisory / Fractional / Embedded. Maintenance is non-optional — AI changes monthly.
What It Costs
A full-time Chief AI Officer runs $300K–$500K+ loaded. Most engagements here land between $7.5K and $25K/mo — a fraction of a hire, for someone who leads the change and ships the systems.
I'll give you the exact number on the call.
Real scarcity
I take a small number of Sprints each month.
Risk reversal
If I'm not adding obvious value, fire me. No long contracts, no hourly billing, Sprint fee credited forward.

Want a tool, not a human?
If you'd rather start with software, two options run in the background of everything I do:

It's the same diagnostic I run on day one of every Sprint.
