Studio Zero HQ · FAQ

Straight answers.

What we run. What it costs. Who owns it after launch. No deck.

What is Managed AI Operations?

+

Managed AI Operations is what happens after you build something. The build is one day. Operations is every day after. Most AI vendors don't stick around for the after part. That's the gap.

How much does Managed AI Operations cost?

+

No published rates. We scope to what you're running and what it costs when it breaks. A week of dead pipeline is the real number. Book a discovery call and we'll put a figure on it.

What is a Fractional AI Operations Lead?

+

An operator inside your stack. Not a vendor. Not a report. We work on your infrastructure, with your team. Application and referral only. The seat has to be real.

What is the difference between AI automation and AI operations?

+

Automation is the build. Operations is every day after. Most consulting stops at the build. That's why it doesn't stick.

How do I hire someone to manage my AI systems?

+

If you need the system run without a full-time hire, start with Managed AI Operations. If you have a team and need an operator inside it, that's the Fractional seat. Both start with a discovery call.

What is AI governance?

+

Human approval on irreversible actions. Emails, CRM writes, money. None of that fires until a person says so. Autonomy follows the job, not a mood. Receipts, not claims.

How do I keep AI agents running reliably?

+

Receipts, not claims. The agent doesn't grade its own homework. We verify by checking the thing in the world that was supposed to change. Safety contracts stop instead of silently succeeding. Monthly refinement when drift shows up. That's the job.

What is an AI Automation Buildout?

+

A scoped one-time build. Dedicated instance. Defined handoff. Referred clients only. You know the outcome before we start.

What kinds of businesses use Managed AI Operations?

+

Any shop with processes that hit revenue or customers, and enough at stake to care if they stop. Professional services, e-commerce, content, local networks. Industry is not the filter. Accountability is.

Is this a software product or a service?

+

A service. You pay for an operator who runs production AI. No self-serve tier. No dashboard login. You get a monthly report and systems that stay up.

Who owns the system after launch?

+

We do. Architecture, build, governance, monitoring, fixes, the monthly report. You name the business problem. We stay on the floor until it holds.

How do I get started?

+

Book a discovery call. Come with the processes you want running, what you've already tried, and what success looks like. We'll tell you if we can deliver it.

Book a discovery call.

We’ll talk about your stack, your floor, and whether this engagement is a fit.
