Engagement models

Four ways to engage us

Monthly · time and materials

Senior specialists

Data and AI engineers, product managers or Microsoft 365 specialists in your team. You direct the work; we support selection, onboarding and engagement oversight.

Milestone-based

Focused delivery team

A small team with a named delivery lead, agreed scope and acceptance criteria for a data or AI workstream. FracScale owns the agreed deliverables and handover.

Fixed fee · 2 to 3 weeks

AI-ready data assessment

We review your platform, data models, governance and target AI use cases, and hand you a prioritised plan with effort and cost.

Days per month

Fractional Chief Data / AI Officer

Senior leadership for data and AI strategy, platform decisions and governance, without a full-time executive hire.

How pricing works

  • Assessments and pods are quoted as a fixed fee or by milestone, agreed before work starts.
  • Specialist and fractional rates depend on the skill, seniority and how scarce it is in the market.
  • Every quote is in writing after the first call. Nothing is billed until someone starts.
