Ship It — A Kayos microquest
Shipping real AI at work is near impossible. Everyone talks. Few deploy. Are you the one to get a project over the line?

The gap between talking about AI and using it is enormous.
Where the friction lives.
Having AI access is not the same as having AI capability. These three functions have the highest-ROI opportunities in most companies.
- 01Knowledge lives in people’s heads, not systems
- 02Inconsistent decisions create rework and risk
- 03Zero repeatable AI workflows
- 012–3 people supporting hundreds of employees
- 02Ticket volume blocks any real strategic work
- 03Handed AI ownership with zero bandwidth
- 01Reporting cadence never lets up
- 02Board packs and narrative prep eat entire weeks
- 03Nobody’s measuring AI ROI because there isn’t any yet
Real deliverables. Not decks about decks.
AI Maturity Audit
Where you actually stand, scored and benchmarked across every function.
AI Roadmap
Prioritized 6-month plan with specific workflows, tools, and success metrics.
Governance Framework
Approved tools, usage policies, data guidelines, and clear guardrails.
Training Programs
Role-based enablement for leadership, managers, and the people doing the work.
Monthly Scorecards
Adoption metrics, ROI tracking, and progress reports you can take to the board.
Workflow Playbooks
Documented, repeatable AI workflows for ops, IT, finance, and beyond.
Not another deck.
An owner.
Most companies don't need another consultant who shows up with a deck and disappears.
They don't need to hand AI to IT, hire a vendor, or wait for someone internal to figure it out. They need a dedicated AI executive who owns the outcome.
Someone who drives the strategy, builds the workflows, trains the people, and sticks around long enough to see it through.
I build with AI every day
Everything I teach, I’ve done. I’m not advising from a slide deck. I’m shipping with these tools daily.
15 years in PE
I’ve been working alongside PE-backed companies since 2011. I know the reporting cadence, the hold periods, and the exit math.
Software founder
I built and run an enterprise software company. I’ve lived the operational reality your companies deal with.
Fluent at every level
Equally comfortable in a boardroom with GPs and on the floor with the team doing the work. Strategy only matters if the people executing it understand why.
A weekly signal.
A private newsletter · small on purpose
Kayos Theory is a private weekly newsletter that comes out of the consulting work. The same research, the same testing, the same questions I work through with clients, packaged for people who want to keep up without making it a second job.
Each week covers tools I've actually tested, workflows you can implement immediately, and a filtered take on which AI releases are worth your attention.
The list is small on purpose. Request access if you want in.
