Introduce tools
For your customers, your users, or your staff. Sometimes the right answer is putting the right capability in the right hands.
Learn it first
Want to learn it first?
Training is the first step. You learn where AI fits, how to do the math and how your people feel about it. If you run out of time, we can run the strategy with you.

The AI Strategy Engagement.
Where it starts. A focused engagement that gets you clear on where AI fits your business and what to do first, then hands back two things: the strategy, your vision for how AI serves the business, and a first 90-day plan you can act on immediately.
We start with leadership: the owner or founder at smaller companies, the leadership team at larger ones. Then we work down into the business units and people who do the work, to put the plan into practice.
What you walk away with

What the strategy produces
Options on the table, not a predetermined answer.
Once we understand the business and where AI fits, the recommendation usually falls into one of two families. Which one depends on the need, not on what’s trendy.
Build an agentic workforce
AI resources that work alongside your people to facilitate what you're already doing. When the need is capacity and coordination, this is often the stronger move.
How we deliver
Leadership first. Delivery follows.
Our primary value is strategic. How hands-on we get from there depends on what you need and the capability you already have.
The AI Strategy Engagement
Where it starts. We get you clear on where AI fits and what to do first, then hand back a strategy and a 90-day plan.

A senior person whose main job is your AI, part time, after the strategy is in place.
Fractional Chief AI Officer →Embedded teams
We work alongside your people, contributing directly while your team owns the work.
Hosted agentic teams
We build and run the agentic workforce the strategy calls for, operated for you.
See what we build →Build and operate
We build it and your people learn to own and run it, including help hiring the team that owns AI going forward.
This is AI-focused leadership. Jason embeds as a fractional CTO or Chief AI Officer, bringing senior AI expertise into the organizations that need it without the cost of a full-time hire.
A full-time CTO at mid-market is $300,000 to $500,000 in total compensation. A Drag6 fractional CTO runs $120,000 to $288,000 a year.
What we build
When the strategy points to an agentic workforce.
Sometimes the answer is putting the right tools in the right hands. Sometimes it’s bringing AI resources in to work alongside your people. When it’s the latter, the discipline that makes human hiring work is the discipline that makes this work.
Agent Employee Number One.
You don’t hire a hundred people on day one. You hire employee number one, onboard them well, and let the team learn to work with them. The same logic applies to AI resources. We call it Agent Employee Number One: start with the single resource that serves a real need, bring it on deliberately, and let it prove itself.
AI resources get onboarded the way people do. They arrive with foundation skills, the general capability they bring on day one, and then you teach them the business-specific layer: your context, your systems, your standards. The difference is speed. What takes a new hire months can take an AI resource days.
A worked example
A boutique professional-services firm. The founders held all the context, moving information between clients and operations, and their strategic time kept getting eaten by coordination. The need wasn’t a tool, it was capacity and coordination, which pointed toward an agentic workforce. The first resource was a Chief of Staff agent: it learned the business, coordinated with clients, handled internal sync, and became the institutional memory. In 90 days it gave the founders back 20 to 30 hours a week of strategic time, with the agent holding the connective tissue.
Here’s what most people miss: the moment you put AI resources alongside human ones, organizational alignment stops being optional. Who owns what, how work flows, where the handoffs are. Getting that right is part of the strategy work, because you can’t plan AI apart from how your organization runs. As agentic workforces grow, this matters more, not less.
