Operator-led AI transformation

We don't sell AI tools. We deliver AI results.

You may already know where AI belongs in your business. If you do, bring your findings and we build from them. If you do not, we run the discovery with you. Then hands-on training for your team, automations that pay back, and a managed digital workforce when you are ready for autonomy.

We Build With

Two ways in

Every engagement builds on the same foundation: a clear map of where the work breaks and what your data can support. Call it Phase 0. If you have done that work yourself, bring it and we start building. If you have not, we run it with you as Phase 0 · Assess. Training and digital employees follow the same path either way. Fractional CAIO is the separate Executive Advisory on-ramp.

Door one

You need the map. Phase 0 · Assess: two to five weeks, and you leave with a scored readiness index, a data estate map and a sequenced roadmap.

Door two

You have the map. Pilot Build: we validate your findings in a week and put one automation live in your tenant in two to four weeks.

The Core Path

PHASE 0 · ASSESS · WHEN YOU NEED THE MAP

BuildClub Phase 0 · Assess

For companies that do not yet have a defensible map. A two- to five-week discovery engagement: leadership interviews, workflow mapping, a full data audit and the BuildClub Readiness Index, delivered to the executive team and the board. Already done this work? The next card is yours.

Six-dimension BuildClub Readiness Index scoring
Data, tools, and workflow audit across functions
Workflow inventory mapped to Phase 1 / Phase 2 candidates
12-month roadmap and recommended next engagement

$45K–$65K · 2–5 weeks

Best for: CEO · Board · COO

PILOT BUILD · WHEN YOU HAVE THE MAP

BuildClub Pilot Build

For companies that have done the discovery and want something built. Bring your audit, your roadmap, or the three processes you already know are bleeding time. We validate it against your systems in the first week, then build one automation live in your tenant within two to four weeks. If the validation shows you need the full map after all, the fee credits toward Phase 0 · Assess.

Your findings are the input; we do not re-run discovery
Week 1: validation against your data and systems, gaps flagged with evidence
One working automation, live in your tenant, your team trained to run it
Fee credits toward Phase 0 · Assess if the map proves incomplete

3–6 weeks · fixed fee, scoped in the first conversation

Best for: COO · CFO · Head of Function with a list in hand

PHASE 1 · AMPLIFY

BuildClub Phase 1 · Amplify

Hands-on AI training as a product. One-on-one and small-group workshops run on each person's real work, a bespoke reference guide after every session, and selected automations where they pay back fast.

Workshops run on the participant's live work, not demo data
A written reference guide delivered after every session
Role playbooks, office hours, and named internal champions
Adoption telemetry plus the quarterly Promotion Candidate Report

$5K–$50K per workflow · flat-rate

Best for: VP Ops · Chief of Staff · COO

Purpose-built agents for RevOps, SDR, Finance Close, Support
Performance dashboards and SLA scorecards
Replacement guarantee on underperformers
OAuth-delegated identity — customer revocable in one click

Or, a separate on-ramp

EXECUTIVE ADVISORY · STANDALONE ON-RAMP

BuildClub Fractional CAIO

Separate from the Phase 0 / 1 / 2 path. A senior AI operator embedded with your executive team — strategy, governance, and the transformation roadmap — when you need leadership before or alongside discovery.

Embedded with your executive team monthly
AI strategy, governance, and roadmap ownership
Vendor and stack evaluation
Reports to the board on AI program ROI

Best for: CEO · Board · COO who need senior AI leadership now

Each engagement stands alone commercially. Phase 1 and Phase 2 build on discovery, whether we ran it or you did. If you arrive with a credible audit or roadmap, Pilot Build validates it in the first week and starts building. You should not pay twice to learn what you already know.

Pricing ranges are indicative; engagement scope and final pricing are confirmed in writing. Full pricing on the pricing page.

THE AI MATURITY LADDER

Think your team has mastered AI? You're probably on rung 2 of 5.

If you've built a Project in Claude, a custom GPT in ChatGPT, or a Copilot agent that knows your business, you're ahead of most of your market. You're also standing where most AI journeys quietly end. The top two rungs aren't better chats. They're systems that think differently.

Find your rung

Already done the discovery?

Plenty of companies come to us having already done Phase 0: an internal audit, a consultant's roadmap, a stack of pilots with lessons attached, or a leadership team that knows exactly which three processes are bleeding time. We do not re-run that work, and we do not charge you to be told what you already know. That is what Pilot Build is for. In the first week we validate your findings against your data and systems and flag anything that would break the build. Then we build. If we find a gap that genuinely changes the plan, we say so, show the evidence, and the fee credits toward the full map. If we do not, your diagnosis stands and we move at your speed.

What makes BuildClub different

We're not a tools reseller. We're not pure consulting. We're operator-led, outcome-priced, and built for executives who want AI without the disruption.

Three non-negotiables

1.
Business value comes first — always.
Revenue growth, cost reduction, speed, risk. Decision quality, not automation for its own sake.
2.
Your team is part of the build, not a spectator.
We teach while we build so the capability stays with you when we leave.
3.
No black boxes. No big-bang launches.
Iterative delivery you can pause, audit, and own.

What we don't do

We don't sell software licenses dressed up as transformation
We don't replace your judgment with AI's
We don't disrupt workflows that are already working
We don't bill for hours when we should be measured on outcomes

OUR EVOLUTION

From AI transformation to a managed digital workforce.

We codified what worked. The BuildClub Readiness Index is the diagnostic that anchors Phase 0 · Assess. Amplify is hands-on enablement — workshops, job-flow training, and selected automations — with a managed infrastructure layer underneath. Workforce is what happens when enablement matures into autonomous digital employees. Same operator-led firm. Sharper offer.

The BuildClub Method

A proven path from discovery to operating digital workforce, whether the discovery was ours or yours. Designed for the realities of mid-market operations.

How we start

Every engagement begins with a working session. No deck, no sales pitch — a structured conversation about your business, your bottlenecks, and what's actually worth automating. You leave with two or three concrete recommendations.

Amplify

Workshops and hands-on training that teach your team how to use AI tools for their specific job flows, supported by selected workflow automations and adoption telemetry.

Workforce

Validated workflows are promoted to autonomous digital employees, priced as $2,500 setup + 20% of FTE-equivalent capacity automated / month + 10% gainshare on measured upside.

Built for mid-market companies between $25M and $1B in revenue

We work with companies that are too complex for off-the-shelf agents and too lean to build an in-house AI team. If you sit between roughly $25M and $1B in revenue, with document-heavy operations and a board that asks for measurable outcomes — we're built for you.

See how we work with PE portfolios →

Mid-market firms ($25M–$1B in revenue)
Private equity portfolio companies
Professional services, manufacturing, finance ops
C-suite leaders who need board-reportable outcomes
Document-heavy, workflow-intensive functions

Ready to put a digital employee to work?

Start with a conversation, not a mandatory diagnostic. If you need the map, Phase 0 · Assess builds it. If you already have one, Pilot Build turns it into a working automation in weeks. No long-form contract, no platform commitment.
