Studio Zero HQ · Services

Application & referral only

Fractional AI Operations Lead.

An operator inside your team and stack. We bring the operator. You keep the infrastructure, the roadmap, and the decision authority. Screened engagements only.

The Model

You have a team. You need an AI operator.

You’re not starting from zero. You have engineers, processes, a stack. What you’re missing is someone who owns the AI layer: the tools, the workflows, the safety contracts, and the outcomes.

Embedded, not external.

We operate on your infrastructure, in your systems, alongside your team. Not a vendor sending reports. An operator running the work. That distinction matters when something breaks at 2am.

What’s Included

AI stack audit and architecture

Workflow and agent selection

Governance and approval layers

Monthly cadence: run, refine, report

Direct availability for incident response

Roadmap planning and priority scoring

Fit

This engagement is not for everyone.

Right fit

You have an engineering team but no dedicated AI operations owner. AI is on the P&L, not a side project. You need someone who can operate, not just advise.

Right fit

You're running AI that hits revenue or customers. The stakes are real. Accountability matters.

Not a fit

You want a consultant who will audit, recommend, then leave. This is an operational seat, not a strategy engagement.

Not a fit

You're still exploring. Start with Managed AI Operations.

Application Process

How to apply.

Application and referral only. We run a limited number of embedded seats. Each one needs real availability and a real fit.

Start with a discovery call. Come ready to describe your current AI stack, what’s breaking, what you’ve already tried, and what an operator would actually own.

If there’s mutual fit, we scope the engagement together. No public rates. This is priced on the seat, not a package.
