What We Do

Advisory Services Built
for Regulated Environments

Every engagement is tailored to your institution's operational reality — not a generic framework applied from the outside.

TIER 01 — ASSESSMENT

AI & Process Transformation Assessment

A structured 30–60 day sprint to assess your manual operations, identify where AI creates the highest leverage, evaluate organizational readiness, and deliver a prioritized implementation roadmap.

Mid-Market$25,000 – $50,000 flat fee

Startup / Scale-Up$8,000 – $15,000 flat fee

TIER 02 — ADVISORY

Fractional Chief AI Officer

Embedded monthly advisory leadership for institutions that need senior AI strategy and process transformation expertise without the cost of a full-time executive hire.

Mid-Market$15,000 – $22,000 / month

Startup / Scale-Up$4,500 – $8,000 / month

TIER 03 — IMPLEMENTATION

Build & Implement

Valor Forge AI manages the full build engagement — from solution design through deployment and handoff. We serve as your dedicated point of contact throughout the build, maintaining alignment between your institution and the development team, managing scope, timeline, and communication, and ensuring every deliverable reflects what was scoped. Development costs are priced separately by the technical team and are not included in this fee.

Mid-Market$75,000 – $150,000 advisory fee

Leadership & Credentials

Operational Experience.
Strategic Expertise.

Valor Forge AI is led by Billy Rendall — a decorated U.S. Air Force Special Agent, federal investigator, and operational leader whose 24 years of service across three continents built a practitioner’s approach to high-stakes problems: disciplined, precise, and accountable.

His private sector experience spans enterprise risk architecture, firmwide compliance platform development, and hands-on AI and automation transformation in financial services — turning multi-day manual operations into processes that run in minutes, without introducing regulatory exposure.

What clients get is rare in a single advisor: the strategic mindset to design the right solution, the technical fluency to manage its execution, and the integrity to ensure every deliverable matches exactly what was scoped.
