Outsourced Private-Sector Chief AI Officer (paid entry).

FromAED 25K–45K

Duration1–3 weeks

Payment100% on signature. Credited 100% into any DVNC program signed within 90 days.

What this is

A 1–3 week audit that gives a UAE mid-market or DIFC-regulated firm a readiness assessment, prioritized AI use-cases, an ROI model, a governance gap-check, and a phased roadmap — credited 100% into any subsequent program signed within 90 days.

Why now

Dubai's private-sector agentic-AI mandate (announced 4 May 2026, ~2-yr horizon) plus mandatory Dubai AI Seal for government-project partners has shifted the question from "should we adopt AI" to "can we defend our adoption." 22 Dubai government entities now have a Chief AI Officer; private-sector buyers are mirroring the role on a fractional basis.

FAQ

How is this different from a McKinsey / Big-4 AI strategy?▾

Two differences. (1) An operator built it: every line ladders to something a single team can ship in 90 days, not a 24-month transformation deck. (2) The fee is credited into the build — the audit is the door, not the destination.

Will the audit hold up in front of a Dubai government tender review?▾

Yes — the Board tier includes an AI Seal pre-scan plus a DIFC/CBUAE exposure memo formatted for a board pack. Sufficient for internal due diligence and most procurement-side requests.

Do you sign an NDA before the scoping call?▾

Yes. Mutual NDA on request before any discovery begins.
