Former CDAO / Practitioner / Advisor

Applied AI advisory for organizations that have to answer for how they use it.

Most AI work stops at strategy or at a pilot. FossAI starts with the data and the governance questions that decide whether a deployment is allowed to exist, then builds from there. Three practices, one methodology, three very different buyers.

Three Practices

One methodology. Three very different buyers.

An athletic director, a superintendent, and a COO are not solving the same problem and they do not respond to the same language. Each practice is built for its own buyer and runs the same underlying sequence.

FossAI Sports

Practical AI training for the people running athletic programs, built around the actual work and the student data rules nobody else is taking seriously.

  • Eight-course program, AI for Athletic Leaders
  • Live workshops and conference sessions
  • Department AI policy drafted in the room
  • Student data guardrails in every course

Workshops from $3,500

FossAI Advisory

Fractional Chief Data and AI Officer leadership for companies too small for a full-time one and too serious to wing it.

  • AI opportunity assessment and roadmap
  • Data and AI governance build
  • Role-based workforce enablement

One Methodology

The sequence is the product.

Every practice runs the same four steps in the same order. Most firms run them backwards, start with a pilot, and find the data and policy problems after the money is spent. That is why those pilots die.

  1. 01

    Understand the data and the constraints

    What records do you actually hold, who is allowed to see them, and what does your existing vendor agreement already commit you to? This step decides what is possible.

  2. 02

    Write the policy

    Acceptable use, an approval path for new tools, and a written standard for evaluating vendors. In draft and reviewable by your counsel before anyone is trained on anything.

  3. 03

    Train the people

    Role-based and built on your own workflows rather than generic productivity examples. Separate tracks, because the work is different at every level of an organization.

  4. 04

    Build the workflows

    A shared prompt library, an assistant loaded with your own documents, light automation, and a measurement habit so the investment can be defended next budget cycle.

Who Delivers The Work

No junior staff. The person you hire is the person in the room.

Bryan Fossi served as Chief Data, Analytics and AI Officer in a federal command running one of the largest logistics enterprises in government, and currently leads an AI/ML and data intelligence practice at a consulting firm. He is also a former varsity high school head coach and a current MLS Next Academy coach. The two halves are the point. Almost nobody selling AI training to a school district or an athletic department can claim both.

Why FossAI

Three practices, one reason clients pick us.

01

Governance Before Pilots

The work starts with what records you hold and what you are allowed to do with them. A pilot built before that conversation is a pilot that gets shut down after someone asks the obvious question.

02

A Practitioner, Not A Panel

A former Chief Data, Analytics and AI Officer at a federal command, currently leading an AI/ML and data intelligence practice. The person you hire does the work. There is no junior staff layered underneath.

03

Published Pricing, Honest Findings

Prices are on the site so a business office can plan a line item without a sales call. And if the honest finding is that your data is not ready, that is what the report says.
