Fractional COO & Agentic Operator

Fix the process. Then add the agents. You keep both.

Most AI projects fail because they're bolted onto broken workflows. We map your operations first, redesign what's slowing you down, then deploy agents on the parts that are ready.

For operators, founders, or CXOs looking to have the agentic era measured so outcomes can be owned.

Take 30 minutes to help your business enter the agentic era.

Which one are you?

Operator-led

The function leader.

You run a department in a $10M-$500M company with agents already running across your team: vendor, shadow, internal. You can't tell leadership what they cost or whether they're safe. You've been through one vendor disappointment, you have authority on a six-figure spend, and you're done buying tools that need a translator.

Founder-led

The founder-led company.

30-300 people, post-Series-A, pre-PE. Your founder is still close enough to feel a $1M decision personally. The org is small enough that one trusted operator compounds across marketing, ops, and engineering without org-chart friction. Workflows codified by reflex; ICP definitions still soft.

Executive-led

The narrative owner.

CEO, COO, CMO, or VP of Data Ops with a board meeting on the calendar. Teams have prototyped with prompts, accumulated vendor agents, and produced no measurable ROI. The next budget cycle has to answer for it. You need a CFO-defensible AI narrative and a CISO-approvable agent layer underneath it.

Operator, founder, or executive: the question is the same. What are agents actually worth to your P&L? Give us 15 minutes and we will show you where the seven figures hide.

AgentHouse

Anyone can build an agent. We build the house it works for.

01
Governed

Governed.

Every agent action carries a policy check. Approval rails, redaction rules, and audit trails by default.

02
Observable

Observable.

Per-agent, per-task, per-dollar accounting. You see what each agent did, what it cost, and what it produced.

03
Accountable

Accountable.

Outcomes, not tasks per hour. Agents priced on credits consumed against ROI delivered. No shelf-ware.

Operators who stopped hiring around the problem

Operators redirected $1M in planned hires into agents that already work.

New outcomes, same payroll.

How we work

Process before prompts. Always.

Map → Build → Operate. One operator. One audit trail.

An agent only ships if it pays for itself. We size that upside before you leave scoping, never as a multi-year projection.

§5 · The Library

Count hires, not features.

Four engagements. Four industries. One pattern.

  1. Manufacturing + Construction
  2. Construction · Back-Office
  3. Marketing · Revenue Ops
  4. Cross-Portfolio Discovery
How we engage · Three shapes · Ladder up

How we engage.

Three engagement shapes. Each ladders to the next. The container is what we leave behind. Never the door you walk through.

Discovery Sprint · 30 days

Map Your Agent Layer.

Stakeholder alignment, agent-sprawl mapping, security and compliance discovery, first workflow build. ROI hypothesis identified by Day 30.

Engagements start at
$25K

Fixed-fee. You leave scoping with the upside mapped and the build already paid for.

Ongoing Partnership · Monthly

Operate the Layer.

Continuous tuning, expansion across functions, custom build vs. buy decisions, leave-behind ownership of AgentHouse.

Monthly retainer
$8K–$16K / mo

Scales with the resources and deliverables you need each month.

Software stays behind, not a bill. Every engagement leaves you with a governed agent layer your team owns, not a vendor you're locked into.

Software isn't the moat. The bridge is.

Software can be copied. Hyperscalers will ship governance tools. Open source will keep evolving. The moat is translation: decades of CI/CD, data ops, and security expertise delivered in the language of ROI…

Your move

You already know which workflow is broken.

Spend 30 minutes with the founder. Walk away knowing what to fix, what to automate, and what to leave alone.

Every agent action has an audit trail. Every audit trail has a name on it. That name picks up the phone.

SOC2-aware Audit-trail ready CISO-fluent

Compliance, day 0. Wired into the orchestrator. Agents are excellent at audit-trail authorship. Humans are the only thing that can sign data-governance policy. We bake the first into the orchestrator's response and put a name next to the second.
