- WHAT WE BUILD

WHAT WE BUILD.

Implementation is where AI dies in this industry. Not strategy, not tooling. The gap between a good idea and a system your team uses on a Tuesday morning in March. You own what we build. Your team learns to run it. We stay engaged until it's working.

- THE REAL PROBLEM

THE MATH THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS.

Most AI pitches to this industry are built on eliminating a salary. That's a small argument and it makes an enemy of the people whose adoption you need. Here's the argument we make instead.

The ROI Case — Example

ANNUAL QUOTED VOLUME

$450,000,OOO

CURRENT QUOTE-TO-ORDER RATE

21%

TWO POINTS OF HIT RATE

+$9,000,000 REVENUE

AT 17% GROSS MARGIN

$1,530,000 GROSS PROFT

COST OF A FULL YEAR OF ENGAGEMENT - A FRACTION OF THAT

the ai content engine.

A system that produces market briefs, LinkedIn content, campaign copy, and sales collateral at volume, specific to your buyers, your grades, and your market. Built once, run by your team, and improved as your positioning sharpens.

FRACTIONAL CHIEF AI OFFICER

For companies that want ongoing AI leadership without a full-time hire. We manage your AI infrastructure, run monthly strategy sessions with the CEO, keep your systems current as the technology evolves, and make sure AI keeps driving results long after the initial build.

Offered to retainer clients after month four. Board-level ownership of AI strategy for companies that need the function but can't justify the hire. Scoped individually.

  • Monthly strategy sessions with CEO/leadership

  • Ongoing AI system management and optimization

  • Team training as new AI tools and capabilities emerge

  • Competitive AI intelligence specific to metals

  • Expansion into new AI use cases as the business grows

  • Priority access to new MetalMarketer tools and frameworks

- THE TIMELINE

WHAT 6 MONTHS LOOK LIKE

Month 1

MAP & FOUNDATION

Map existing systems, identify integration points, build the foundational architecture. No rushing — getting this right matters.

Month 2

First Systems Live

Core automation deployed and tested. Your team sees AI working in the business for the first time.

Month 3

Full Deployment

All primary systems live. First full cycle runs — whether that's a month of AI-powered outbound, content production, or operational automation.

Month 4

Measure & Refine

We measure what's working, fix what isn't, and identify the highest-value next steps. Your team is building confidence.

Month 5

Expand

Adjacent use cases added. Team training deepened. The system starts compounding — each piece making the others more effective.

Month 6

Handoff & Ongoing

Continue, step down to Fractional CAIO, or take full handoff. All three are normal outcomes.

EVERY ENGAGEMENT STARTS THE SAME WAY.

With the diagnostic. We don't quote a sprint or a retainer for a business we haven't mapped, and you shouldn't buy one.

You own everything we build. If we walk away, nothing stops working.
