AI Strategy and Governance · Perth
Clear direction on AI, without the hype or the full-time hire.
Most owners keep hearing they should be using AI, with no idea where to start, and plenty of people happy to sell them a big build. We start one step earlier: what is genuinely worth doing in your business, what to skip, how to keep your data safe, and how to get your team using AI well. Straight answers, not a sales pitch.
Start with a conversationThe problem
The advice is loud, conflicting, and mostly selling something
Every week there is a new tool you are told you must adopt, and a consultant ready to quote a big build for it. It is hard to tell what is real, what is hype, and what actually fits a business your size.
What is missing is someone on your side who will tell you plainly what is worth doing, what to skip, and how to do it without putting your data or your team at risk. That is the gap we sit in.
What we offer
Direction, oversight, and a team that can use it
Start with the analysis, keep us on call as things change, and bring your team up to speed. Use one or all three.
AI Opportunity Audit
$1,000 to $2,000A structured look at where AI would genuinely save you time or money, and where it plainly would not, whether that is a whole-business Opportunity Audit or a Workflow Audit scoped to one person’s day. You get a written report with prioritised recommendations and a clear next step, before you spend a dollar building anything.
Advisory and coaching
$500 to $1,200/mo, or $220/hrSomeone who understands the whole picture, on call: senior direction, benefits tracking, governance oversight, and a view on what to build next. The value of a senior AI lead without the full-time salary. This is one of the two Retain tiers, alongside the Care plan that keeps a build or package monitored and current.
Team training and workshops
From $1,500 per sessionPractical sessions that show your team how to use AI well and safely, on your real work, without leaking sensitive information or letting it make the decisions. Tailored to how your people actually work.
Data governance
Private to the level you need
Privacy is not one setting. Most AI privacy is a promise in a contract. Ours is built into the architecture, and you choose how tight it needs to be for the work in front of you, from masking on the device through to sealed, hardware-secured compute.
Masked by default
Identifying details are masked on the device, so names never reach the model. This is the baseline on every piece of sensitive work.
Encrypted, your key
Your content is encrypted in the browser under a key only you derive. We store ciphertext, not your data.
Sealed compute
For the highest bar, the AI runs inside a hardware-secured enclave with cryptographic attestation, the confidential-compute platform behind our clinical product ConfideAI.
Whichever level you pick, you stay in control: no lock-in, the systems and data are yours in your own accounts, and a person always signs off on the work.
From our thinking
Straight thinking on AI, strategy and safety
Written for owners and executives, not engineers.
Questions
Common questions
How much does AI strategy and advisory cost in Perth?
An AI Opportunity Audit, whole-business or scoped to one person's workflow (a Workflow Audit), is $1,000 to $2,000 and gives you a written report on what is worth doing. Advisory and coaching runs $500 to $1,200 a month depending on coverage, or $220 an hour if you'd rather use it as needed. Team workshops start at $1,500 a session. All prices are in Australian dollars.
Can you act as our fractional Chief AI Officer?
In substance, yes, without the title or the salary. Through ongoing advisory we give you senior AI direction, a view on what to build next, and oversight of governance, which is the role a fractional Chief AI Officer plays, scoped to what a small or medium business actually needs.
How do you keep our data safe?
Private by architecture, and to the level you need. The baseline on sensitive work is on-device masking, so names never reach the AI model. Above that, your content is encrypted in the browser under a key only you derive, so we store ciphertext, not your data. For the tightest requirements, inference can run inside a hardware-secured enclave, the confidential-compute platform behind our clinical product ConfideAI. We also build inside your existing systems, so we do not add a new place for your data to live. Most AI privacy is a policy. Ours is the architecture.
What if the honest answer is that we do not need AI yet?
Then we will tell you. Sometimes less, in the right place, beats a big build nobody uses, and sometimes the answer is not AI at all. You get a straight assessment of what is worth it for you, not a push to spend.
Can you train our team to use AI safely?
Yes. We run practical workshops on your real work that show your people how to get value from AI without leaking sensitive information or handing over judgement. The aim is a team that uses AI well and knows where the limits are.
