Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a fractional Chief AI Officer?
A fractional CAIO gives you senior AI leadership without the $300K+ salary. You get strategic direction, hands-on implementation, and governance — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. We work embedded in your team, typically 16-40+ hours per month.
How quickly will we see results?
Most clients see their first working AI workflow within 2-3 weeks. Strategy Sprint clients get a complete roadmap in 2-3 weeks. Foundations and above clients typically have 2-3 automated workflows running within the first month.
What industries do you serve?
We specialize in mid-market companies ($10M–$500M revenue) across industries — professional services, healthcare, energy, financial services, manufacturing, and technology. If you have knowledge workers and data, AI can transform your operations.
Why should I care about AI security and governance?
Companies deploying AI without governance are exposing themselves to data leaks, compliance violations, and regulatory risk. The EU AI Act is already in effect. SOC 2 auditors are asking about AI controls. We build AI operations with security baked in from day one — not bolted on after an incident.
Can we start small and scale up?
Absolutely. Most clients start with the free AI Readiness Score, move to a Strategy Sprint, and then graduate to an ongoing engagement. There are no long-term contracts — we earn your business every month.
What makes you different from McKinsey or Deloitte?
Two things: we actually build the systems (not just the strategy decks), and we bring real information security credentials. Our founder is a Director of Information Security at a publicly traded company who built a production SaaS platform in 4 days using AI. We're practitioners, not theorists.
What's the relationship between VAIO Group and VISO Group?
Same team, complementary practices. VISO Group (viso.group) handles cybersecurity — external attack surface management, vCISO services, and security assessments. VAIO Group handles AI operations. Clients get the benefit of both: AI that's actually secure, and security teams that leverage AI.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. Strategy Sprints are one-time engagements. Monthly retainers are month-to-month with 30-day notice. We believe in earning your business continuously, not locking you into a contract.
