AI consulting pitch says companies should keep the harness in-house, not hand off strategy

A reposted pitch argues that many CTOs are being pushed to hand off AI strategy, but doing so can hollow out the company’s own capability.
- The author says their firm sells the opposite: build the AI harness inside the customer’s org.
- In that model, the customer’s engineers operate the system, and the standards remain after the vendor leaves.
- The pitch emphasizes month-to-month engagement, no lock-in, and capability transfer as a product feature rather than a side effect.
- It’s framed as a response to burnout and turnover among CTO / Head of Engineering roles at startups and mid-sized companies.
