Book an hour
One hour with Craig Clarkson. Your agenda, your terms.
Direct access to Altay AI's founder for a single, focused hour, paid at booking. No scoping call, no statement of work, no commitment to anything beyond the hour itself.
What people use the hour for.
The hour is deliberately unstructured. Finance and operations leaders bring whatever is actually blocking them — which is rarely the thing a fixed consulting product is designed to solve.
Ad hoc consultancy
A specific problem on your desk this week. Bring it, and we work it through together.
Pressure-test a strategy
You have an AI plan or a roadmap. Get an honest read on what will hold and what won't.
Board and exec meetings
Have an independent voice in the room when AI is on the agenda and the questions get hard.
Vendor and buy-vs-build calls
A second opinion before you commit budget to a platform, a partner or an internal build.
Build an agent in the hour
Bring a repetitive or judgment-heavy finance task and we'll sketch what an agent version looks like — inputs, outputs, guardrails, and when an LLM is worth it over plain workflow automation. Leave with a rough architecture and a next step.
Where to start
You know AI should be doing more in finance. Leave with a sequenced, costed first move.
General counsel
Team structure, operating model, governance, controls. The unglamorous questions that decide outcomes.
How it works.
Pick a slot and pay
Choose a date and time that suits you and settle the fee at the point of booking. No proposals, no procurement.
Send the context
A few short questions at booking. Documents, numbers, a half-formed idea — whatever gets Craig up to speed before you meet.
Use the hour
It runs to your agenda. You leave with a clear view and a short written follow-up capturing what was agreed.
What it isn't.
- It is not a sales call dressed up as advice. If the answer is that you don't need us, that is the answer you'll get.
- It is not a scoping exercise for a larger engagement. Nothing follows the hour unless you ask for it.
- It is not a generic AI briefing. The hour is spent on your numbers, your team and your decisions.

Payment and pre-materials are handled at booking. You'll receive a confirmation and calendar invite immediately.
