The big-firm AI answer, at a tenth of the price
BCG will sell you an AI strategy for $300,000. Pangeus gets you 80% of that plan, or validates the one you already have, for a tenth of the price. Built for organizations big enough to need real technology leadership but not big enough to afford it full time.
Schedule a ConsultationWho this is for
Organizations that need real technology leadership but cannot justify a full-time executive to provide it. Your primary business is not technology, but technology decisions now shape your mission, your costs, and your board conversations. We do much of our work with nonprofits and healthcare organizations, but the fit is about size and shape, not sector.
If you are a pure technology company with a CTO and a clear way forward, this is not for you. If AI is a board question you do not yet have a fundable answer to, it is.
Two ways to get there
The Alignment Audit
One audit across four planes: organizational vision, product, technology organization, and AI possibility.
- Alignment map across the four planes: where vision, product, technology, and AI point the same direction, and where they don't
- The three most valuable moves to close the gaps, in dollars and risk, not tools
- Risk and assumptions log so nothing is glossed over
- A prioritized 90-day starting plan your leadership can act on immediately
Our guarantee: if the final readout is not worth what you paid for it, you pay nothing.
AI Readiness Strategy
Best when you need the complete picture: baselines, analysis, strategy, and an execution plan your board can fund.
- Everything in the audit, extended across the whole organization
- First readout inside 15 days, so you are never two months from seeing value
- Sensitivity map of where AI amplifies, automates, augments, or anchors your business
- Funded execution plan with owners, sequence, investment ranges, and the risks to manage
- Governance sized to your organization, not enterprise theater
Start small, credit it forward: begin with the audit, and its full fee credits toward the strategy if you continue within 60 days.
Often added: the Board Alignment & Funding Workshop at $25,000. Pre-work executive interviews, a one-day facilitated alignment session, and a decision brief in your hands within 48 hours.
How we look at your business
Map every function
We decompose your organization into every activity that creates, delivers, or captures value, plus the functions that enable them. Nothing gets missed, and nothing gets counted twice.
Classify each one
For every function we determine whether AI Amplifies human capability, Automates the work, Augments the people doing it, or Anchors on staying human. A decision tree, not gut feel.
Prioritize by readiness
Crossing AI sensitivity with your actual readiness tells you what to deploy now, which gaps are urgent, which quick wins build AI muscle, and what to deliberately deprioritize.
Plan for the human reaction
Every organization resists AI in predictable ways: fear, inertia, skepticism, overwhelm, and confusion. The plan names which ones you will face and what defuses each, so the change actually holds.
What happens after the plan
Every strategy engagement ends the same way: you are holding a plan your organization now has to execute. Most firms hand it over and leave. We stay available as fractional technology leadership: a senior operator who already knows your business, at a fraction of a full-time executive, for as long as the transformation takes.
Thirty minutes tells you which starting point fits
Bring the AI question your board or leadership keeps asking. You will leave the call knowing what an audit would look at first, whether or not we ever work together.
