Offline AI, brought inside your company.
A monthly retainer for companies that need to adopt AI offline, get more out of their local LLM hardware, or build their own offline AI products. Senior counsel and hands-on work, from an expert that ships offline AI for a living.
The Offline AI Experts, on retainer.
Cloud AI is the easy path. Offline AI is the one your security team, your auditors, your legal department, your regulators, and your most sensitive customers actually need. We do it every day.
The Executive Retainer gives your leadership team direct access to Ken and the Burritt Center lab for a fixed monthly fee. We help you adopt offline AI, tune local LLM performance, evaluate vendors, and design or build offline AI products of your own. One relationship. No new SOW for every question.
Pick the offline AI problem we should solve first.
Every retainer starts with one of these three. Most evolve to cover all three over time. All include direct access to Ken, the lab, and the working code behind every Burritt Center product.
Adopt AI offline
For regulated, security-sensitive, IP-protective, or fully offline teams. We map the use cases, choose the right local models, design the deployment, and stand up offline workflows your people will actually use. Includes governance, audit, and change-management guidance from a Fortune 500 IT veteran.
Optimize local LLM performance
You have on-prem or edge hardware. The models are slow, the answers are weak, the GPU is idle, or the latency kills the use case. We diagnose the real bottleneck (quantization, model selection, context size, batching, hardware mismatch, prompt strategy) and tune it on real hardware until it ships.
Build your own offline AI product
You have an idea for an offline AI product, internal tool, regulated AI workflow, or fully offline appliance. We help you scope it, prove it on real hardware in our lab, and build it end to end. Same playbook we use to ship Burritt Center: design, model selection, packaging, support.
A standing relationship instead of a stack of statements of work.
Direct access
Email and scheduled video calls with Ken. Pick up the phone when an offline AI question lands on your desk. Hands-on hours from the lab when you need real work done.
Vendor and proposal scrutiny
A second set of eyes on AI proposals, RFP responses, statements of work, and pricing. A decade of Fortune 500 vendor negotiation experience working for you, not the firm pitching you.
Strategic counsel
Quarterly strategy sessions for your leadership team. Honest read on what to build, what to buy, what to ignore, what to delay, and where offline AI changes the calculus.
Hands-on lab work
Architecture review, proof-of-concept builds, local model benchmarks, hardware fit analysis, and quantization tuning on the same lab where every Burritt Center product is proven.
Briefings on demand
Brief your board on agentic AI, offline AI economics, the open-model landscape, AI privacy obligations, or what your competitors are actually doing. Ken prepares the briefing.
No surprise invoices
A fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing. No expanded scope memos. The retainer is the relationship.
Companies whose AI cannot live in someone else's cloud.
Regulated industries
Healthcare, financial services, legal, defense, energy, and government teams that cannot ship sensitive prompts and documents into a third-party cloud. Offline AI is not a preference for you. It is the only path.
IP-protective product teams
R&D, engineering, design, and strategy teams whose prompts ARE the intellectual property. Cloud AI exposes them. Offline AI keeps them on your laptops.
Companies building offline AI products
Founders and product teams who want to ship private AI hardware, edge devices, or fully offline appliances. We have done it. We can help you do it.
Field, remote, and disconnected operations
Vessels, aircraft, rigs, mines, field offices, and disaster response teams that need real AI productivity without reliable connectivity. Offline AI is built for exactly this.
How the retainer works.
Discovery call
A no-cost call to understand your offline AI need, your team, your hardware, and your timeline. If the fit is not right, Ken will say so.
Engagement letter
A simple letter outlining scope, monthly fee, and the standing rhythm.
Standing relationship
The retainer runs month to month. Cancel any time.
