For fractional leaders and advisers
Give your client an independent read. Keep your seat.
Fractional CFOs, COOs and CROs, and the advisers around them, all get the same question now: are we ready for this AI? You can’t audit every system yourself, and grading data you also advise on is marking your own homework. Bring us in for the read. You stay the adviser.
Starts with a 30-minute call. Commits you to nothing.
No referral fees in either direction. Our fee is the same whatever the memo says.
Real sample
See what your client would receive. A full Truth Score Read on 72,837 records in 7 exports from CRM, finance and HR. It scored 59 out of 100, Band C, significant work needed: 823 finance customers with no CRM account, and only 13% of deals reconcile to invoices.

The ask you keep getting
Your client wants an AI answer. The honest one depends on data nobody has checked.
The strategy is the part you’re hired for. The hard part is that every AI proposal assumes the CRM, billing and finance agree with each other. Every system looks clean on its own; the truth is in the gaps between them. Checking that by hand doesn’t scale, and doing it yourself invites the question of whose answer it is.
-
Fractional CFO
The AI budget line
A collections agent or forecasting tool in next year’s budget, and a board asking whether the numbers can support it.
-
Fractional COO
The stalled automation
A pilot drowning in exceptions, and a vendor and a team blaming each other.
-
Fractional CRO
The agent on the CRM
A vendor that wants to put AI on a pipeline you know is held together by manual entry.
How to bring us in
Four steps. You stay in the room.
- 01
A 30-minute call, with you on it
You, your client and us: which decision, which systems. It commits nobody to anything.
- 02
Your client sends the exports
Directly to us, under NDA and our data processing agreement. You don’t have to touch the data.
- 03
A signed memo, walked through together
Within 5 working days of complete exports. You join the walk-through if your client wants you there.
- 04
The fix list goes where the client says
Their own team, you if it’s within your engagement, or any outside firm. We never do the work.
What your client gets
Evidence you can put in front of a board.
Everything in a Truth Score Read, addressed to your client and usable by you.
-
A Truth Score™
A score out of 100 for how far the data can be trusted, on six weighted pillars, with what was measured and what wasn’t.
-
A Leverability read
Which AI ideas the client can use now, after fixes, or not at all, with the reason in their own records.
-
The red flags between systems
Customers with no billing match, deals with no invoice, accounts owned by leavers: counted, sampled and checked by hand.
-
A verdict and a short fix list
Sign, fix first or walk away, and what to fix first, with owners and a test for done.
Why it helps you
The read carries weight because it isn’t yours.
When the adviser who sets the strategy also grades the data, the client discounts both. An outside read does the opposite: your recommendation rests on evidence from someone with nothing to sell, and you never have to defend a score you marked yourself.
We don’t compete
For your advisory work, or for the fix.
You stay the adviser
The memo is addressed to your client and usable by you. The recommendation stays yours.
Forward this
Three lines for your client. Copy, paste, send.
If you think a client should test an AI decision before they sign, this is all they need to read first.
- Before we sign the AI proposal, I’d like an independent read on whether our data can actually carry it.
- DataTruth compares exports from our systems, record by record, and returns a signed memo within 5 working days of complete exports. They sell no AI and no fixes, and their fee is fixed before they start.

Questions
What advisers ask first.
What a fractional leader or adviser asks before bringing us to a client.
Book the callDo you pay referral fees to advisers?
No. No referral fees in either direction: we pay none to anyone who introduces a client, and take none from anyone. The only fee is the client’s fixed fee to us, agreed before we start.
What if the findings touch my own area?
They may, and the memo is built for that. Findings are about records, not about who kept them: a gap between two systems that were never built to agree is a design fact, not a failing, and the memo says so. You see every finding at the walk-through, with your client. A gap you surface with an independent read is a gap you get to fix on your terms.
Who is our client’s contract with?
With us, directly, for the read. You stay their adviser under your own engagement. Nothing about bringing us in changes your terms with them.
Will you pitch our client other work?
We have nothing else to sell: no AI, no software, no implementation, no fixes. If the client wants an AI Investment Review or AI Value Tracking later, that is the same independent work, and you’ll know about it.
Can I do the fixing myself?
If that is within your engagement, yes. The fix list is written for whoever the client chooses: their own team, you, or any outside firm. We don’t do it and take nothing from whoever does.
Do I need to handle the data?
No. The client’s team sends exports to us directly, under NDA and our data processing agreement. You can stay out of the data entirely.
What happens to our data?
It arrives as exports only, under NDA and our data processing agreement. No logins and nothing installed. The full list of sub-processors comes with our data processing agreement, before any data moves. Any transfer outside the EU is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses. Raw exports are deleted after the engagement; we keep quality metrics, not your records.
What does it cost?
A fixed fee, agreed before we start, that never moves with the verdict. It is a small fraction of the proposal it tests; if it wouldn’t be, we’ll tell you on the call. Our first clients get a founding rate in exchange for a private reference call once they’re happy with the work, only with their consent. We never name a client, fund or target publicly without written consent.
Bring your client clarity before capital.
A 30-minute call with you and your client. Then a signed memo within 5 working days of complete exports.
