How I can help
I take on a small number of engagements alongside my work at NeoSmith AI. Each starts with a 30-minute intro call to check fit before any proposal.

What you getHow an engagement works
- Intro call. 30 minutes to understand the problem and decide whether I am the right person.
- Written scope. A one-page proposal with outcomes, deliverables, timeline and fee.
- Work. Regular check-ins, with findings shared as they emerge rather than saved for the end.
- Handover. Everything written down so your team owns the result.
