A small firm with a senior lead in the seat.
The firm
Dialed Intelligence is a fractional AI leadership and engineering firm based in Chicago. We work with owner-led and PE-backed businesses between $2M and $25M in revenue. They know AI matters, and nobody in house owns it.
We join your team for a defined term, set the AI strategy, build the systems, and hand them to your people. The firm stays small on purpose. The person who writes your plan builds it. Clients often call this role a fractional Chief AI Officer.
The person in the seat.
Tyler Dial
Founder and AI lead
Tyler founded Dialed Intelligence and leads every engagement, from the first call to handover.
Tyler's work spans econometrics and NBER research, investment banking, management consulting for research organizations and private equity portfolio companies, and production AI engineering. That mix is the method. Measure the problem like an economist, scope it like a banker, and build it like an engineer.
Recent work includes multi-agent systems, unified data platforms, and automation for organizations from research consultancies to PE-backed operators.

Four principles behind every Quarter Plan
Measurement before machinery.
If we cannot measure the problem, we are not ready to build the system.
Deterministic where it counts.
AI reads, drafts, and forecasts. People and explicit rules decide and spend.
Honest scoping.
If off-the-shelf software solves your problem, the discovery project will tell you to buy it.
Ownership without asterisks.
What we build is yours, and the contract says so in plain language.
We work with a limited number of clients at a time.
$2M to $25M in revenue.
Large enough for AI to pay off. Small enough that one senior lead changes the trajectory.
An executive sponsor.
An owner or executive who will sponsor the work and sign the Quarter Plan.
A short client list.
We keep it short so every client works with the lead directly.
