Cognitive Systems for Teams Using AI
I design how businesses think and grow — from internal cognitive systems that help teams use AI thoughtfully, to human-led brand, website, and marketing systems built with care.
Most companies don’t struggle with AI because of tools.
They struggle because thinking, decisions, and communication were already overloaded.
Leadership teams are navigating:
Decision fatigue and constant context switching
Inconsistent AI use across roles and departments
Fear of quality erosion or loss of human judgment
Knowledge trapped in people’s heads
AI being used randomly — or avoided entirely
The result isn’t efficiency… or maximized profits.
It’s friction, hesitation, and missed potential.
The Real Problem
This work isn’t about automation, prompt libraries, or replacing people.
I focus on designing cognitive systems — the structures, boundaries, and workflows that allow humans and AI to work together in a way that improves:
Clarity
Productivity
Creativity
Decision quality
Profitability
And day-to-day enjoyment of work
AI becomes a powerful tool in the toolbelt — not the center of the business and not a replacement for human intelligence.
A Different Approach
Most people use AI as a production tool — to generate content, summarize information, or speed up tasks.
My work operates at a strategist level.
I use AI as a thinking partner:
To surface blind spots leadership can’t see from inside the business
To pressure-test decisions before they become expensive mistakes
To reduce cognitive load on founders and teams
To design systems that scale without burnout
Human judgment remains central.
Quality is protected.
And the business becomes easier — and more profitable — to run.

AI Operating System Intensive
Duration: 4 weeks
Format: Private, leadership-level engagement
Availability: In person (Pacific Northwest)
This is a finite, focused engagement designed to create lasting internal clarity.
Many clients choose to continue with a monthly advisory retainer afterward to keep systems current, aligned, adapting and evolving as their business and AI tools change.
THE ENGAGEMENT
The Process
Phase 01:
AI Workflow & Cognition Audit
I evaluate how your business currently thinks and operates, including:
Leadership workflows
Decision bottlenecks
Communication patterns
Knowledge flow across roles
Repetitive thinking and planning labor
This phase establishes where AI belongs inside your business — and where it does not.
Phase 02:
Leadership Strategy Sessions (2–3)
I evaluate how your business currently thinks and operates, including:
Leadership workflows
Decision bottlenecks
Communication patterns
Knowledge flow across roles
Repetitive thinking and planning labor
This phase establishes where AI belongs inside your business — and where it does not.
Phase 03:
Team Empowerment Sessions (1-2)
I evaluate how your business currently thinks and operates, including:
Leadership workflows
Decision bottlenecks
Communication patterns
Knowledge flow across roles
Repetitive thinking and planning labor
This phase establishes where AI belongs inside your business — and where it does not.
Phase 04:
Custom Internal AI Playbook
This is the core deliverable.
I create a company-specific AI playbook that defines:
When AI is used
When it is not
How your company uses AI day to day
Role-specific examples
Decision rules and quality checks
Tone, ethics, and internal expectations
This becomes:
Your internal operating standard
An onboarding and training asset
A long-term cultural reference
When this playbook is delivered, the intensive is complete.
What the Full Investment Includes
By the end of the engagement, you have:
Clear, documented cognitive systems tailored to your business
Leadership-level clarity around decisions and delegation
An empowered team operating with shared standards
A durable internal system that scales with you
Reduced friction, stronger execution, increased efficiency, higher profitability, and more joy, vitality, and creativity in the workplace.
The Investment
Full engagements range from:
$12,500 – $25,500+
Pricing reflects 10-75+ team size and varies based on complexity & session scope.
You are purchasing organizational clarity designed specifically for your business by a human.
AI is the tool I teach your company to use properly — in order to maximize profits, efficiency, productivity, creativity, and joy, without sacrificing judgment or quality.
Cognitive Systems Strategy Consult
Every engagement begins with a paid strategic consultation, which is applied to the full engagement.
Investment: $2,500
This consult is the first working session of the project.
What this consult looks like:
Before the session
I review your business structure, leadership dynamics, and stated challenges
You complete a focused intake that surfaces how decisions and workflows currently function
During the session (60–90 minutes)
We walk through how your business actually operates day to day
I identify cognitive bottlenecks, misalignment, and leverage points
We define how AI should support leadership and teams
You experience how I think, analyze, and design systems in real time
After the session
I translate everything uncovered into a clear engagement plan
You receive a tailored outline of the full intensive, including scope, timeline, and investment
We schedule next steps and move directly into implementation of the intensive
HOW WE BEGIN
OPTIONAL CONTINUATION
AI Strategic Advisory Retainer
For companies who want continued strategic guidance as systems and tools evolve.
This includes:
Monthly or quarterly advisory sessions
Reviewing new AI use cases before adoption
Updating internal playbooks and standards
Maintaining alignment as teams grow
Investment: $5,500/month
Available following completion of the intensive.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for companies that:
Are founder-led or leadership-driven (10–75+ employees)
Rely heavily on thinking, planning, and decision-making
Care about quality, sustainability, and long-term growth
Are ready to invest in strategic clarity
This is not for teams seeking:
Prompt libraries
Automation builds
AI tool setup
Generic or low-touch training
My Philosophy
AI is a tool I cherish because of its ability to make business — and life overall — exponentially better when used intelligently and creatively.
It is an intelligent, creative tool that can dramatically increase efficiency, profitability, and joy. Most companies simply haven’t been shown how to use it at a strategic level.
That’s where I come in.
All strategy, design, and content work is human-led, with AI used as a thinking partner and efficiency tool — never as a replacement for judgment, creativity, or care.
