AI Strategy for SMB Leaders
You know AI matters. You're not sure where to begin. Stonefield Strategy helps you make that first decision with clarity — no vendor pitches, no hype, no expensive mistakes.
Serving SMB leaders in the Washington DC–Virginia region and beyond
"Where do we even begin with AI?"
"What's the realistic ROI for a business our size?"
"How do we avoid expensive mistakes and vendor lock-in?"
"My team is overwhelmed — is now even the right time?"
These are decision problems, not technology problems. That's exactly what Stonefield Strategy is built to solve.
All engagements start with understanding your business first — not your tools.
4-week structured engagement
A focused, fixed-scope engagement that takes you from AI confusion to a clear, prioritized action plan your team can actually execute. We work through five critical decisions — process, people, technology, timing, and priorities — before any vendor conversation happens.
Single 90-minute session
A focused working session to diagnose where your business stands with AI, identify your most promising opportunities, and leave with a clear answer to "should we move forward, and with what?" Uses the free AI Readiness Assessment as pre-work.
Ongoing retainer (limited spots)
A quarterly check-in to review your AI experiments, adjust decisions as the landscape shifts, and keep a trusted advisor in your corner without the overhead of a full-time hire. Designed for leaders who want to stay ahead without getting distracted.

Stonefield Strategy was built on a simple observation: most AI conversations focus on tools and buzzwords. The real challenge for business leaders is different.
"30 years managing complex technology implementations — the kind where decisions carry real consequences — taught us that the right decision framework matters far more than the right tool."
We're not an AI vendor. We don't have a tool to sell you. Our job is to help you make the decision before the decision: Should you implement AI? Where do you start? What's the realistic return?
No hype. No predictions. No recommendations that don't fit your people, your budget, and your reality.
No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where your business stands with AI and whether there's a fit.
