A fractional Chief AI Officer—
delivered like a senior partner, priced like a boutique.
Pivotmark pairs a fractional CAIO engagement with subscription managed services, 30-day readiness sprints, agent development, and executive coaching — all run by an in-house staff of AI employees supervised by a human operator. Clients leave week one with a working AI tool in production, a 90-day ROI target, and a roadmap they actually believe in.

Senior partner outcomes. Boutique pricing. The reason is structural.
A traditional consulting engagement packages governance, documentation, training, and optimization as the back end of a fixed project. Firms large enough to do the work in-house price it like a Big Four engagement; firms small enough to price it boutique run out of senior headcount before quarter two.
Pivotmark runs an in-house staff of AI employees — supervised by a human operator — that absorbs the documentation, monitoring, and continuous optimization load. That compression of delivery cost is what keeps our pricing competitive against the Big Four and lets us reserve senior hours for judgment, not writing follow-up notes.
Six ways an operator can work with us — from a 30-day sprint to a multi-year retainer.
Every engagement is anchored to a measurable outcome and a written follow-up cadence. Prices are shared after a 30-minute working session once we know the use case.
