Services

One product. Three steps. A fixed fee at every one.

Every JSummit engagement opens with the Production AI Blueprint. You get a real deliverable and a clear decision point before anyone commits to anything ongoing — and the roadmap is yours whether or not we continue.

The front door

Production AI Blueprint

A time-boxed, fixed-fee engagement that answers a specific question: what has to be true before AI can touch anything that matters here — and which two or three use cases are worth doing first?

What gets examined

  • Data — source systems, quality gaps, and the specific cleanup each sequenced use case depends on
  • Governance — who decides what gets built, how it's funded, and which vendors and models are allowed
  • Controls — sign-off gates, audit trail, segregation of duties, and what an auditor or regulator will ask for
  • Organization — who owns this day to day, and what to hire versus borrow versus leave with the vendor
  • Candidate use cases scored on value, feasibility and risk — including the ones to explicitly park
  • Build versus buy, called per use case, with off-the-shelf as the default wherever it holds up

What you receive

  • Use-case inventory — scored, sequenced, and honest about what to leave alone
  • Data readiness map — what has to be fixed, in what order, before anything ships
  • Governance model and control framework — the decision forum, the human-in-the-loop gates, and a one-page AI use policy your whole company can read
  • Reference architecture and operating model — build-versus-buy per use case, roles, and a hire-versus-borrow call for each gap
  • Twelve-month roadmap — sequenced, with a cost envelope and the payback each step is expected to return
  • Executive readout — delivered to you, your leadership team, or your board

$12,000 for a single function over three weeks, or $24,000 enterprise-wide over five. The full fee is credited against an Enablement Sprint booked within 60 days. The deliverables are yours to execute with or without JSummit.

The engagement ladder

Blueprint, build, then run it

Each step is saleable on its own and each is the obvious next move from the last — so the decision in front of you is always small. Delivery draws on the CTOx® Functional Technology® Framework, so the engagement has a defined cadence from week one.

Interim CTO

When you need someone to own it outright

Some situations don't call for a blueprint — they call for a technology leader with real authority. Interim CTO engagements put JSummit inside your leadership team, reporting to the CEO, accountable for the roadmap, the vendor portfolio, and the operating model.

  • A departure, a gap, or a first-ever technology leadership seat
  • A modernization or replatforming program that needs an executive owner
  • A turnaround where the systems are actively hurting the business
  • A bridge to a permanent hire — including defining the role and helping you fill it

Scoped per engagement. Typically 6–18 months.

Board & investor advisory

Independent technology judgment for owners

Boards, PE sponsors, and family offices increasingly need someone who can evaluate a technology story without a vendor's incentive attached to the answer.

  • M&A technical due diligence and transition architecture
  • AI and cloud investment review — is this spend going to produce anything?
  • Architecture governance and technology risk oversight
  • Key-person, access-custody, and vendor concentration assessment
  • Technology sections of board reporting, translated out of jargon

Advisory seats, project diligence, and standing board technology committee support.

Not sure where you'd start?

That's what the introductory call is for. Thirty minutes, no pitch deck — and if JSummit isn't the right answer, I'll say so.
