You’ve implemented AI. Now you need someone to keep it moving forward.

AI doesn’t stop delivering value just because the initial project is done. But without ongoing guidance, most businesses plateau. The AI Support Retainer gives you a fractional AI lead — someone who knows your business, monitors what’s working, coaches your team, and keeps identifying new opportunities. All without the cost of a full-time hire.

What you get from the retainer

Most AI projects deliver strong initial results — then stall. Teams lose momentum, tools get underused, and new opportunities go unnoticed. The AI Support Retainer exists to prevent that. It gives you continuous, senior-level AI advisory without the overhead of a full-time role. Like having a fractional AI lead embedded in your business, available when you need them.

Whether you’ve recently completed an AI implementation or you want ongoing strategic guidance as your AI maturity grows, the retainer keeps things moving. It’s practical, flexible, and designed for medium-sized UK businesses that want results — not another consultant gathering dust.

Continuous AI advisory and strategy

Regular strategy calls to review progress, adjust priorities, and plan next steps. You’ll always have a clear view of where your AI initiatives stand and what to focus on next. This isn’t a generic check-in — it’s informed, strategic guidance from someone who understands your business, your industry, and the AI landscape as it evolves.

Performance monitoring and optimisation

AI tools need ongoing attention to deliver their full potential. We’ll monitor how your AI solutions are performing, identify areas for improvement, and make sure you’re getting the return on investment you expected. Quarterly performance reviews give you a structured look at what’s working, what needs attention, and where the next gains are hiding.

Team coaching and upskilling

Your team is the biggest factor in whether AI succeeds long-term. The retainer includes ongoing coaching to build your team’s confidence and capability with AI tools. From practical training sessions to answering day-to-day questions, we’ll help your people get comfortable using AI as a natural part of how they work — not something bolted on from the outside.

New opportunity identification

AI moves fast. New tools, new capabilities, and new use cases emerge constantly. As your ongoing AI consultant, I’ll continuously scan for opportunities that are relevant to your business — not the latest hype, but practical applications that could genuinely save you time, reduce costs, or open new revenue streams. You’ll always know what’s worth paying attention to and what isn’t.

Who this is for

The AI Support Retainer is designed for medium-sized UK businesses — typically 50 to 250 employees — who have already implemented AI and want to keep building on that foundation. It’s also ideal for businesses that want ongoing AI guidance across the organisation without committing to a full-time AI hire. Whether you’re based in Hertfordshire, London, or anywhere across the UK, the retainer is delivered remotely with in-person sessions available for businesses near St Albans and the surrounding area.

Priority support when you need it

Retainer clients get priority access via email and video call. If something comes up — a new AI tool your team wants to evaluate, a process that isn’t working as expected, or a strategic question from your board — you don’t have to wait. You’ve got a trusted AI consultant in Hertfordshire who already knows your business and can give you a straight answer quickly.

FAQ

Questions about the AI Support Retainer

What does the retainer include?
The retainer includes monthly strategy calls, priority support via email and video, quarterly performance reviews of your AI initiatives, ongoing team upskilling and coaching, and continuous scanning for new AI opportunities across your business. Think of it as having a fractional AI lead on call — someone who knows your business, your systems, and your goals, and keeps everything moving forward.
How is this different from hiring a full-time AI lead?
A full-time AI lead or Head of AI typically costs £80,000–£120,000 per year in salary alone, plus benefits, recruitment costs, and management overhead. The retainer gives you senior-level AI advisory and strategic guidance at a fraction of that cost. You get the expertise without the full-time commitment — ideal for businesses that need ongoing AI support but don’t yet need a dedicated in-house role.
Can I adjust the level of support?
Absolutely. The retainer is flexible by design. We’ll agree on a level of support that matches your current needs, and you can scale up or down as your AI maturity grows. Some months you might need more hands-on support during a new implementation; other months it’s a lighter touch with strategic check-ins and performance monitoring.
What kind of businesses use the retainer?
Typically medium-sized UK businesses with 50 to 250 employees who have already implemented one or more AI solutions and want ongoing support to optimise, expand, and stay ahead. It’s also used by businesses that haven’t implemented AI yet but want a trusted advisor guiding their AI strategy over time rather than approaching it as a one-off project.
Is there a minimum commitment period?
We ask for a minimum three-month commitment to allow enough time to properly understand your business and deliver meaningful results. After that, the retainer runs on a rolling monthly basis with 30 days’ notice. There are no long lock-in contracts — the relationship continues because it delivers value, not because you’re tied in.
