Let us find out where you stand.
The fastest way to start is with your score.
Before we talk about what to do, it helps to know where you are. The Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ gives us both a clear, honest picture so the first conversation is about solutions, not discovery.
Two Ways to Start
Option 01 — Get Your Alignment Score™
Upload your marketing materials and let the platform do the diagnostic work. You will receive your score across all five dimensions with a clear interpretation and, if needed, a specific remediation path. Delivered within [5 business days].
Option 02 — Schedule a Conversation
If you would rather talk first, schedule a direct conversation. We will discuss where your marketing is today, where you want it to go, and whether Human at the Helm™ is the right fit. No sales pitch. No pressure.
What to Expect
Most organizations start with a conversation and move to the Foundation Program, the structured AI marketing audit that produces your full Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ and remediation path.
From there, the depth of engagement depends on what your score reveals and what you are ready to invest in fixing.
What we do not do: start with a solution before we understand the problem. The score comes first. Everything else follows from it.
Frequently Asked Questions About AI Marketing Readiness
What size organizations does Human at the Helm™ work with?
We work primarily with small to mid-sized businesses, typically under $30M in revenue, and with the marketing teams of similarly sized organizations. Our ideal client has real marketing activity in place but has not yet built the systems to scale it sustainably or to deploy AI effectively.
Do I need to complete the Foundation Program before anything else?
Yes. The Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ shapes every subsequent recommendation. We do not prescribe AI marketing solutions before we have run the diagnostic. The score ensures that whatever we build is grounded in your actual situation, not a generalized best practice.
How long does the process take?
The Foundation Program takes four to six weeks. System Design engagements run eight to twelve weeks. Strategic Advisory begins immediately after either. The initial Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ is delivered within [X business days] of uploading your materials.
What makes this different from working with a fractional CMO?
Most fractional CMOs sell their hours. Human at the Helm™ delivers a platform. The diagnostic methodology is encoded into a system, which means the insights are consistent, repeatable, and not dependent on who is in the room. You get the strategic benefit of 30 years of marketing systems experience, delivered at a speed and depth that no individual consultant can match on their own.
Is Human at the Helm™ right for me if I am already using AI in my marketing?
This is one of the most important questions we hear. If you are already using AI tools in your marketing and your results are not matching the effort, there is almost certainly an alignment problem underneath. AI amplifies what is already there. If what is there is misaligned, the AI makes it worse faster. The Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ will identify exactly where the gap is.
How is this different from a marketing audit?
A standard marketing audit evaluates what you have done. The Human at the Helm Alignment Score™ evaluates whether what you have done is aligned with what your best clients actually value and whether your organization can execute on that alignment at scale. It is a readiness assessment, not a retrospective review. The output is a forward-looking remediation path, not just a list of observations.
The organizations that win with AI are the ones that got the foundation right first.
