Fractional AI Experts
Top AI expertise, exactly when you need it
You need AI expertise for a specific project, but not a full-time hire. Our Fractional AI Experts step in when you need them, take responsibility and deliver from day one.
An AI project about to start but the right expertise missing? We add to your team precisely where needed – per project or on a retainer, whichever suits.
For companies with a concrete project need.
Typical scenarios
“We want to introduce AI but don't know where to start”
Strategy development, use case identification, roadmap
“We have an AI project but no in-house expertise”
Project leadership, technical architecture, team mentoring
“We need someone to build our AI governance”
AI Act compliance, policies, risk management
“Our CTO is overloaded, we need reinforcement”
Fractional CTO/CAIO for a defined period
Advantages
Why a Fractional AI Expert makes sense
Top AI experts are expensive, and a permanent hire ties up considerable capital and risk. Many companies do not need that capacity – but they do need the expertise.
Fractional means top expertise when you need it – without overhead and without risk.
Your advantage
- Cost-efficient
- Ready immediately
- Flexibly scalable
- Project experience
- Cover when someone is out
What that means for you
- C-level expertise without a C-level salary. You pay only for the time you need.
- No six-month search. We start within two weeks.
- More capacity when the project demands it. Less when things quieten down.
- We bring experience from a range of industries and projects.
- We work as a team and can absorb absences.

Per project
When you have a clear goal and need a defined end point.
Typical scope
Defined scope, fixed budget, clear end point. Ideal for a concrete project such as an AI strategy, a use case sprint or a tool implementation.
Monthly support (retainer)
When you need continuous support without commissioning it afresh each time.
Typical scope
A fixed number of days per month, available on an ongoing basis. Ideal when you need regular support without commissioning it afresh each time.
As needed (on demand)
When you need specific expertise for a particular question.
Typical scope
Flexible, as needed. Ideal for one-off questions, reviews or short sparring sessions without a fixed commitment.
Differences
Fractional vs. consulting vs. interim.
Not every model suits every situation. Fractional is right when: You need long-term strategic leadership but not a full-time role. When you want someone who takes responsibility – not just advises.
