# Fraconomy

> Fraconomy places fractional Chief AI Officers (CAIOs) with the governance built in. A fractional CAIO works one to three days a week on a monthly retainer, sets the AI roadmap, gets the first use cases live within 90 days, and builds AI governance mapped to the rules of every market the company sells into.

## Markets

## How it works
1. AI briefing: a 45-minute call on where AI could pay off, the data the company holds and the markets it sells into.
2. Shortlist: two or three CAIO candidates who have shipped AI under regulatory review. The aim is to send it within 5 working days.
3. First 90 days: AI roadmap and AI use register by day 30, governance baseline and board-approved AI policy by day 60, two use cases live with owners and controls by day 90. Then one or two days a week, or hand over to a full-time hire.

## AI governance deliverables
- AI policy written for the company's markets and approved by its board
- Use-case risk register: every AI use, its risk level and its owner
- Vendor and model due diligence before a tool touches company data
- Board reporting on what shipped, what it returned and what it risks

## Questions
### What is a fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO)?
A fractional Chief AI Officer is a senior AI executive who works for your company part time, usually one to three days a week on a monthly retainer. They own the AI roadmap, AI governance and delivery the way a full-time CAIO would, without the full-time salary or a long hiring process.

### How is a fractional CAIO different from an AI consultant?
A consultant delivers a report. A fractional CAIO sits in your leadership team, is accountable for results, makes decisions with your founders and board, and stays until the programme runs without them or a full-time hire takes over.

### What does AI governance cover?
An AI policy approved by your board, a register of every AI use case with its risk level and owner, due diligence on AI vendors and models before they touch your data, and regular board reporting. Each piece is mapped to the rules in the markets you sell into.

### Which AI rules do Fraconomy CAIOs work with?
Singapore's Model AI Governance Framework (including its guidance for agentic AI), US state AI laws and sector regulators, the EU AI Act and GDPR, and in the Gulf the UAE and Saudi AI principles, Saudi Arabia's PDPL and free-zone rules such as DIFC and ADGM.

### How much does a fractional CAIO cost?
It is a monthly retainer set by the number of days a week and the market. Each market site shows its currency and how pricing works, and the exact rate is confirmed on your briefing call before any commitment.

### How quickly can a fractional CAIO start?
After a 45-minute AI briefing, we aim to send a shortlist of two or three CAIO candidates within 5 working days. The start date is agreed directly with the CAIO you choose.

### Which markets does Fraconomy serve?

### Is Fraconomy a law firm?
No. Your CAIO designs and runs AI governance with your team and works alongside your legal counsel. Governance content on this site is general information, not legal advice.
