Thirty minutes with our team. No deck. No obligation.
Every discovery call at AALI is led personally by a founding team member. No account executives, no sales team, no slide presentation. Thirty minutes to discuss your current AI posture, the outcomes you care about, and whether a Fractional CAIO engagement is the right next step. If it's not, we'll tell you directly.
Email is the fastest path.
Send a short note about your company and what you're trying to accomplish. Replies typically arrive within one business day. If a discovery call makes sense, we'll propose two or three times in the same reply.

The shape of a first call.
I.
5 min
Where you are
Quick context — your company, what you do, what's prompting the conversation. No deep dive, just enough to ground the rest of the call.
II.
15 min
What outcomes you want
The specific business outcomes you care about. What would make the next 12 months a win? What's currently blocking that?
III.
10 min
Whether it fits
Honest assessment of whether a Fractional CAIO is the right structure for where you are. If it isn't, we'll suggest what would be.
No deck. No follow-up sales sequence. If the conversation is useful, we'll send a short written summary with next steps — usually a scoping conversation or a deeper diagnostic. If it's not the right fit, we'll say so on the call.
Things you can rule out before the call.
Setting expectations early. If any of these are deal-breakers in your direction or the opposite direction, mention them in the email so we can use the call efficiently.
No high-pressure sales tactics.
We don't pitch on the first call. If anything, the bias is the other direction — we'd rather decline than over-promise.
No annual contracts or lock-in.
Every engagement is month-to-month. If the relationship isn't working, either side can end it with 30 days notice.
No vendor referral fees.
AALI doesn't take referral payments from any AI vendor. Tool recommendations are independent and the client owns every account directly.
No work without a Mutual NDA.
Anything specific to your business stays confidential. We sign before the second call, before any sensitive material is shared.
No engagements outside our capacity.
Quality control matters more than scale. If we don't have room to deliver well, we'll say so directly.
Easiest first step is a short email.
We'll reply within one business day with two or three call times if there's a fit.
