F.A.Q
Frequently asked questions.
The Map decides what to build; the Install builds it. The Map is an audit — we take apart how the work actually flows, cost the hours going into it, and hand back a build order with the return attached to each item. The Install is us building what that order says, inside your systems, until each AI role holds its own shift. Most people start with the Map so the spend is a decision rather than a guess.
You fill in a short form first, so we have your numbers before we speak — team size, the tools you run on, where the hours go. The call is a working session on those numbers, not a pitch. You leave knowing where AI would pay for itself in your business and roughly what building it costs, whether or not you go ahead with us.
No. The workforce is built inside what you already run — your CRM, your inbox, your phone system, your scheduler. Replacing a stack is a project in its own right and it is usually the thing that stalls automation before it earns anything. If a tool genuinely cannot be connected, you will hear that on the first call rather than after you have paid.
The Opportunity Map takes about two weeks. The first AI role usually goes live three to six weeks after that, depending on how clean your data is and how many approvals a change needs on your side. We deploy one role at a time and only start the next once the first is holding its shift unattended.
Every deployment ships with monitoring, so a failure reaches us before it reaches you. After that the Fractional AI Team covers it month to month: on-call engineering, a monthly build cycle for the next role, model and cost tuning as pricing moves, and a quarterly audit against whatever your real bottleneck has become by then.
