Case studies

Work in this practice

After three production systems together, the same mid-market fuel carrier handed Riyex the AI leadership seat. As fractional Chief AI Officer we own the vision, the roadmap, and the governance for becoming the AI leader in fuel logistics. Early days, and we say so. The plan ships first; the wins get measured after.

FAQ

Common questions

How is Riyex advisory different from a traditional consulting firm?

The people doing the advising are the people who build. Every recommendation comes from engineers who would be comfortable implementing it themselves, which filters out the advice that only survives in a slide deck.

What is a fractional Chief AI Officer?

An executive-level function that owns your AI vision, investment roadmap, and governance for a fraction of a full-time hire's cost and ramp time. We operate this seat today for a mid-market fuel carrier.

What does an architecture review include?

An honest assessment of your current system with prioritized recommendations: what to change, what to keep, and what to deprecate. You get findings you can act on, not a phone book of observations.

When does an AI adoption strategy make sense?

When AI initiatives are appearing faster than your ability to evaluate them: multiple teams piloting tools, vendors circling, and no one accountable for where AI fits, what it costs, and what to ignore.
