Vanguard Advisory™

Your retained AI team. One monthly engagement that governs the programme, sustains the systems we built, and keeps your people getting more capable — month after month.

The Problem We Solve

AI programmes don't fail
at launch. They fail at
month six.

The implementation goes live. The governance meeting gets cancelled. The integration quietly breaks. The board report becomes a slide deck of vanity metrics. And six months later, nobody can say whether the AI programme is working — or whether anyone still knows how to run it.

Vanguard Advisory™ is the retained team that prevents this. It works across three pillars: we govern the programme, sustain the PrimeStream™ builds and integrations behind it, and enable your people through convertible training credits.

One retained team. One continuous engagement. No hand-offs between strategy, support, and skills.

The Alternative Cost

Hiring a Chief AI Officer plus a support engineer in Australia or Singapore:

SGD 200,000–400,000
Annually, plus benefits, equity, and onboarding

Vanguard Advisory™ delivers equivalent senior capability — governance, support, and enablement — at a fraction of that, with zero overhead.

How the Commitment Works

We don't ask you to commit blindly for a year. The engagement runs in two phases.

Months 1–3 · Trial

A short runway against clear success metrics. We establish the communication cadence and prove the value before anyone locks in.

Months 4–12 · Locked-In Retainer

Once fit is proven, the engagement transitions into a fixed 6- or 12-month retainer — predictable continuity for the programme, priority access for you.

What the Retainer Covers

Three pillars.
One retained team.

01 · Govern

Oversight & accountability

Senior governance that keeps the programme honest and board-ready.

  • Monthly governance committee meeting
  • Board-ready monthly report
  • Vendor proposal & contract review
  • Regulatory watch — Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong
02 · Sustain

PrimeStream™ post-support

Keeping what we built live, healthy, and improving after go-live.

  • Hypercare, bug triage & issue resolution
  • Prompt & performance tuning
  • Integration health & connector maintenance
  • Change requests handled under SLA
03 · Enable

Capability & credits

A workforce that keeps getting more capable, month over month.

  • Monthly Vanguard Credits allocation
  • Redeemable for Prime Vanguard™ Training
  • Unused support hours bank as credits
  • Champions network support
Sustain, In Detail

When the build goes live,
the work changes shape.

Models drift. Integrations break. Edge cases surface. The team finds new things to ask for. Vanguard Advisory™ is the support layer that keeps every PrimeStream™ build — and the connectors that feed it — running after go-live.

  • Tiered SLA responseBest-effort at Foundation, a defined response SLA at Advisory, priority response at Strategic.
  • Integration & connector monitoringProactive health checks on the integrations PrimeStream™ deployed — caught before they reach your board report.
  • Optimisation & tuningOngoing prompt and performance tuning so the system gets better, not just maintained.
  • Change requestsA managed pool of hours for the small build changes every live system needs.

Vanguard Credits

Support hours that
become training.

Every tier includes a monthly pool of hours. A quiet month doesn't go to waste — unused hours bank as Vanguard Credits, redeemable against any Prime Vanguard™ Training track.

The retainer that governs and sustains your programme also keeps upskilling the people who run it. Govern, sustain, enable — funded from one engagement.

Engagements open with a 3-month trial against agreed success metrics, then transition into a locked-in 6- or 12-month retainer. Support-hour pools, SLA response targets, and credit allocations are scoped to your requirements and confirmed in your proposal. Engagement subject to a signed Master Services Agreement.
