Advisory Engagements

Not consulting. Not delivery. Outcome-defined execution leverage.

Why Traditional Advisory Fails

Traditional Consulting

  • Strategy decks disconnected from execution
  • Multi-month engagements with no runtime proof
  • Generic frameworks requiring translation
  • Pilot success that never scales
  • Billable hours with no outcome accountability

ArkAI Advisors

  • Execution-ready governance models
  • 30-90 day bounded engagements
  • Battle-tested patterns from $1B+ systems
  • Direct path to platform enforcement
  • Outcome contracts with measurable KPIs

How We Engage

Four phases from outcome discovery to ownership transfer. Each phase has clear deliverables and success criteria.

1

Outcome Discovery & Qualification

2-4 weeks

What Happens:

  • Validate organizational readiness and executive sponsorship
  • Define outcome targets with measurable KPIs
  • Map regulatory constraints and compliance requirements
  • Identify governance gaps before investment
  • Determine platform and technology approach

Deliverables:

  • Signed outcome contract (KPI-bound agreement)
  • Technical and regulatory gap analysis
  • Governance framework outline
  • Architecture decision record

Risk Eliminated:

→ No more undefined success criteria
→ No more post-investment discovery of blockers
→ No more misalignment between strategy and execution

2

Governance Architecture & Design

4-6 weeks

What Happens:

  • Design policy-as-code framework
  • Define what AI can and cannot do (governance rules)
  • Map human authority checkpoints and escalation
  • Create evidence and audit requirements
  • Build execution architecture (platform-agnostic)

Deliverables:

  • Complete governance architecture
  • Policy-as-code implementation specification
  • Outcome contract with enforcement rules
  • Evidence and auditability framework
  • Platform selection (if applicable)

Risk Eliminated:

→ No more ungoverned AI execution
→ No more missing evidence when auditors arrive
→ No more platforms that can't meet compliance

3

90-Day Governed Execution Sprint

8-12 weeks

What Happens:

  • Implement execution system (Revenue, Logistics, Compliance, Legal)
  • Configure governance with client policies
  • Deploy in controlled environment with monitoring
  • Validate KPIs under real operational load
  • Train client team on governance operations
  • Document evidence and audit trail

Deliverables:

  • Operational execution system
  • Cryptographically notarized execution proof
  • KPI validation report (did we hit targets?)
  • Runbook for ongoing operations
  • Training and knowledge transfer

Risk Eliminated:

→ No more pilots that don't scale
→ No more post-deployment governance failures
→ No more "successful POC, failed production"

4

Scale & Ownership Transfer

12+ weeks

What Happens:

  • Expand to additional use cases or departments
  • Transfer operational ownership to client team
  • Establish ongoing governance monitoring
  • Option: Platform licensing (client owns infrastructure)
  • Option: Air-gapped sovereign deployment

Deliverables:

  • Full platform ownership (if applicable)
  • Complete governance documentation
  • Operational playbooks
  • Evidence archive and audit trail
  • Independence from vendor dependency

Risk Eliminated:

→ No more vendor lock-in
→ No more dependency on external teams
→ No more loss of institutional knowledge

Engagement Capacity & Investment

Capacity

ArkAI Advisors accepts 3-5 strategic engagements per quarter. All work is personally led by the founder.

Investment

Ranges from outcome discovery through full acceleration are provided during qualification call. Pricing is outcome-based, not hourly.

Commercial Terms

Advisory fees are separate from any platform licensing. Platform execution is optional, not required.

Engagement Philosophy

We Work Only With Organizations Where:

  • Executive sponsor is personally accountable for outcomes
  • Failure would create material regulatory, legal, or revenue risk
  • Governance is non-negotiable (compliance, audit, evidence)
  • Outcome ownership matters more than vendor dependency

We Decline Engagements Focused On:

  • Pure AI experimentation or pilot tourism
  • RFP beauty contests or vendor selection
  • Open-ended strategic consulting retainers
  • Delivery teams or staff augmentation

This selectivity ensures we work on outcomes that matter, with executives who have the authority and commitment to execute.
