## Services — five practices, one arc

Assess -> Govern -> Enable -> Build -> Measure. Every engagement names its deliverable up front.

1. AI Strategy & Governance — readiness assessment mapped against FERPA, HIPAA, and board expectations. Deliverable: a readiness assessment and a governance framework your general counsel can sign.
2. Leadership & Change — executive briefings for presidents, provosts, and boards. Deliverable: an executive briefing series and a standing AI oversight charter.
3. Workforce Upskilling — role-based curricula for staff, faculty, and administrators. Deliverable: a role-based curriculum with certification checkpoints.
4. Automation & Agentic AI — production GenAI, workflow automation, and agentic systems on the client's cloud, inside the client's compliance boundary. Deliverable: a production system on your cloud, with runbooks.
5. Adoption Analytics & ROI — usage, outcomes, and cost instrumented from day one. Deliverable: an adoption dashboard and a defensible ROI model.
