AI Advisory for Founders

Pick the right AI to build on — before you build.

Founders are handed a hundred AI tools and told each one is essential. I help you choose and validate the ones that actually fit your product, your data, and your stage.

The Problem

The cost of the wrong call isn't the tool.

It's the quarter you spend on it — the runway, the trust, and the time you can't refund.

New AI capabilities ship every week. Most won't matter to your startup. A few will decide whether your product works. My job is to tell the difference before you commit engineers to it.

How I Think

The read you get before we start.

“Should we build on this AI capability?”

  • Is this actually an AI problem?
  • Will your data support it?
  • Does it move the product?

▸ Active path: Build — the recommendation depends entirely on your product, data, and stage.

What I Do

D3Data ScienceWhether your data can actually support the feature you're promising.
D4AI ArchitectureThe technical foundation so today's decision doesn't block next year's.
