If yours changes, switch. EdgeCore Pro and EdgeCorporate include EdgeCore seats, and the audit fee counts toward a retainer started within 60 days. **We don't sell hours.** Each program page lists what happens and when. Engineering works one build at a time from a backlog you own, and you can always see what's in progress, queued, and shipped. **We don't guarantee results.** We won't promise outcomes we don't control. The audit will tell you not to go ahead with an idea when that's the honest answer. **The founders teach.** Andy Jorgensen teaches the Zero to Hero workshop and cohort. Dan Klosterman teaches the AI Builder cohort and runs the advisory work. Builds come from EdgeTeam's engineering team, which includes Dan. **Your data stays yours.** It goes into EdgeTeam business accounts with no-training terms, never a personal AI account, and builds run in your accounts. We record working sessions, keep the recordings inside EdgeTeam, and delete them when we're done. **You see what you paid for.** Monthly programs send a written recap after each session and a quarterly review that asks whether it's still the right program. The audit ends with a report you can forward unchanged. ## What we have done We have run three AI Edge Summits, and the last one drew 540 people. EdgeCore has met weekly since April 2025. Case studies are on each program's page as clients approve them. Ask us about companies like yours on the call. ## Launching at AI Edge Summit, October 29 All six programs open for enrollment at the Summit. Attendees get a Summit-only offer on Zero to Hero and EdgeCore at the EdgeTeam booth. [Summit tickets](https://aiedgesummit.com/) ## Questions The [FAQ](https://services.edgeteam.io/faq/) covers prices, commitments, who shows up, and what happens to your data. Anything it doesn't cover, ask on the call. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) --- title: "AI Audit & Assessment" description: "Two weeks and five interviews to a verdict on every AI idea, a readiness score you can defend, and a 90-day plan your team owns. From $5,000." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/assessment/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # Know which AI ideas deserve your money before you spend it. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | from $5,000 | | Length | Two weeks (10 business days) | | Paid by | Invoice, upfront | | Book | [Book an assessment scoping call](https://r.edgeteam.io/scoping) | In two weeks and five interviews with your people, we score how ready your company is, put a written verdict on every opportunity on the table, and hand you a 90-day plan with names on it. From $5,000, and the report can say "don't." [Book an assessment scoping call](https://r.edgeteam.io/scoping) ## Who it's for You own or lead a company between about $1M and $100M in revenue. You have AI ideas, vendors pitching, maybe a budget line, and no independent way to choose. You've probably had three vendor conversations that each recommended the vendor. **Not for:** companies that already know the one thing they want built (see [Fractional CAIO](https://services.edgeteam.io/fractional-caio/)) or that want staff training only (see the [cohorts](https://services.edgeteam.io/zero-to-hero/)). ## What you'll have at the end - **A written verdict on every idea we find.** Proceed, run a limited experiment, proceed after prerequisites, use a conventional fix, defer, refer to a specialist, or do not proceed. Roughly a third of ideas end at "conventional fix" or "defer." - **Your readiness, scored on evidence.** Seven areas, an EdgeScore and a stage, and every score tied to evidence we can show you. - **The top three opportunities, with ROI ranges.** Each worked through with a directional range you can put in front of your partners. - **A 90-day plan** with a named owner on your team for each item. - **A 12 to 16 page report** and a 60-minute readout with your leadership. You can forward the report unchanged. - **An inventory of your systems** and the AI tools already in use, including the ones nobody sanctioned. ## What it asks of you About 20 minutes for the intake. An org chart and a list of your software, as they are. Five people for an hour each: you, operations, finance, your most technical person, and someone who does the work every day. One leadership hour for the readout. ## How the two weeks run | Days | What happens | | --- | --- | | Before day 1 | Order form, invoice, the 20-minute intake, and all five interviews plus the readout booked | | 1 | 45-minute kickoff: the decision you need to make, the two or three parts of the business that matter | | 2–4 | Interviews, 45 to 60 minutes each, recorded | | 5–9 | Scoring, verdicts, the plan, the report | | 10 | 60-minute readout with your leadership. The report arrives within two hours after the call | | 14, 45 | A 15-minute follow-up call, then a check-in on your first plan item | ## What it costs From $5,000, invoiced upfront. The exact fee depends on company size; we set it on the scoping call and it doesn't move afterward. If you start any EdgeTeam program within 60 days of the readout, the assessment fee credits toward it. Nothing in the report depends on you choosing one; the plan is written for your team to execute without us. ## What it is not It's a business and technical readiness diagnostic, and the report says on page one that it is not a legal opinion, a privacy impact assessment, a security audit, or a compliance certification. Nothing gets implemented in the two weeks. Deeper work is available separately: an all-staff survey, ROI models beyond the top three, a drafted AI policy, a leadership prioritization workshop. ## How we score We score seven areas: business direction, use-case discipline, workflow fit, people and change capacity, data, technology, and governance. Self-reported claims can't score above the midpoint. Anything higher needs a document, an observation, or data we have seen. The verdict list above is the same one we'd apply to our own ideas. Ask for the sample report and readout deck (a fictional company, scored the way we'd score yours) and we'll send them. ## Questions owners ask on the scoping call **Can you just tell us what to build?** Yes, and also what not to build. The no-list is half the value. **What will I be able to say to my partners afterward?** Which three things you're doing, which you're not, why, roughly what each costs, and who owns it. That's the readout. **We're small. Is this too much for us?** Under about 15 people, usually yes. Start with a [cohort](https://services.edgeteam.io/zero-to-hero/) or [EdgeCore Pro](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecore-pro/) and come back when there's more to assess. **Why does the price vary?** A 20-person company and a 200-person company with three divisions are different amounts of work. The floor is $5,000, the fee is fixed before we start, and it never changes mid-engagement. [Book an assessment scoping call](https://r.edgeteam.io/scoping) --- title: "EdgeCore Pro" description: "A private monthly hour with Dan and a monthly mastermind with six to eight other owners, so your AI decisions get made. From $1,000 a month, month to month." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecore-pro/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # An AI advisor on call every month, and a room of owners who've made the same decision. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | from $1,000/mo | | Length | Month to month, 30 days' notice | | Paid by | Card | | Book | [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) | Every month you get a private hour with Dan on your business and your tools, and a 90-minute mastermind with six to eight other owners, where you put a decision in front of people who have already made it. From $1,000 a month, month to month. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) ## Who it's for You own or run a small company and you're making the AI decisions alone: which tool, which workflow, what to stop paying for, what the new release changes for you. You don't want a project. You want someone to think it through with every month, and other owners who'll tell you what happened when they tried it. **Not for:** organizations that need many staff trained (that's [EdgeCorporate](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecorporate/)) or companies whose bottleneck is getting things built (that's [Fractional CAIO](https://services.edgeteam.io/fractional-caio/)). ## What you get - **A private hour with Dan each month.** You bring what changed and what you're deciding. Dan works the problem live: opens the tool, drafts the workflow, prices the option. You leave with the decisions written down. - **A monthly mastermind with six to eight owners.** 90 minutes, with companies about your size and never a direct competitor. A round of wins, three hot seats, and one thing from Dan that every owner in the room should act on this month. Questions before advice. What's said in the room stays in the room. - **One page that tracks your AI work.** Tools, goals, decisions, open questions, and wins, updated with you at the end of every call. - **A written recap** within one business day of every call. - **An EdgeCore membership** for you: the weekly sessions and the community. ## What it asks of you Two and a half hours a month: your private hour and the mastermind. A two-line reply to the "what's on your plate" email the week before your call. That's it. ## How it runs Week one, an email asks what's on your plate. The private call happens in your fixed slot. The recap lands the next day. The mastermind meets on a fixed day each month, and hot-seat requests go in the week before. Every third month, the call includes a quarterly review: what you set out to do, what happened, whether this is still the right program. ## What it costs From $1,000 a month, by card, month to month, with 30 days' notice to cancel. The price depends on company size and how many leaders join the call; we tell you the number on the fit call. Everything included is the same at every price. ## What it is not It doesn't include EdgeCore seats for your staff, builds, or a private cohort. When you want your team trained, that's EdgeCorporate. When the private call fills up with things you want built, that's the sign to talk about Fractional CAIO. ## Where this comes from EdgeCore Pro is new. We ran the format informally for a year before pricing it. EdgeCore has met weekly since April 2025, and owners kept asking for the same two things afterward: a private hour, and a room of people like them. The recap, the operating page, and the group rules exist because informal advice evaporates. ## Questions owners ask on the fit call **Is this for me or for my team?** For you. A few of your leaders can join the private call. When the team needs training, that's EdgeCorporate. **Who else is in my group?** Owners of companies about your size, never a direct competitor. Dan places you after the first private call. **What if I miss a month?** Private sessions don't roll over unless we caused the miss. Mastermind recordings are available to the group for 90 days. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) --- title: "EdgeCorporate" description: "Two training cohorts a year for your people, a monthly platform briefing, private office hours any employee can join, and an adoption tracker you see every month. From $3,000 a month." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecorporate/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # Get the AI licenses you already pay for into your people's daily work. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | from $3,000/mo | | Length | Six-month minimum, then month to month | | Paid by | Invoice | | Book | [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) | Your people get two training cohorts a year, a monthly briefing on what changed in your platform and what to do about it, and private office hours every month that any employee can drop into. You get a monthly recap with an adoption tracker, so you can see it move. From $3,000 a month. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) ## Who it's for You lead an organization of roughly 30 people and up. You've made a platform decision, or nearly have, and you can see a handful of people using the seats while everyone else opened the tool once and closed it. You want a standing support line while adoption spreads, and you want to be able to show what changed. **Not for:** solo owners (see [EdgeCore Pro](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecore-pro/)) or companies whose real bottleneck is building, not adoption (see [Fractional CAIO](https://services.edgeteam.io/fractional-caio/)). ## What your organization gets - **A private kickoff** with your leadership and champions: the goal in your words, where AI use stands today, the platform features worth turning on this quarter, who trains first. - **Two staff training cohorts a year.** Your people take seats in our live four-week runs: [Zero to Hero](https://services.edgeteam.io/zero-to-hero/) for non-technical staff, [AI Builder](https://services.edgeteam.io/builder/) for technical staff. You pick the run and the roster. You see attendance every week and get a private debrief after graduation. - **A monthly platform briefing**, 45 minutes, shared with our other EdgeCorporate clients: what changed in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Claude, ChatGPT, or the automation tools you use, and the specific action for each. Recorded, with a one-page summary in your channel the same day. - **Private monthly office hours**, 60 minutes, open to every employee. They drop in with a question or a screen to share. No agenda, no slides, and no one gets in trouble for a basic question. An EdgeTeam engineer joins when the questions turn technical. - **Evidence for the budget conversation.** A Slack channel between your team and ours, a monthly recap with the adoption tracker (who came, what they asked, what got turned on, cohort progress), and a quarterly review against the three measures you set at kickoff. ## What it asks of you One point of contact who can get a decision in 48 hours. Two to five champions, the people who already use AI and will bring colleagues. Cohort rosters six weeks before each run. Ninety minutes for the kickoff, then about 30 minutes a quarter for the review. ## How it runs Kickoff within two weeks of signing. First office hours and first briefing within 30 days. Cohort rosters are due six weeks before each quarterly run. The quarterly review looks at attendance, completions, features turned on, and the three measures you set at kickoff. ## What it costs From $3,000 a month, invoiced, with a six-month minimum and then month to month. The price depends on how many cohort seats you need per run; organizations above about 100 employees get a custom quote. We tell you the number on the program call. ## What it is not It isn't a one-day Copilot workshop, although the monthly briefing covers Microsoft 365 and Copilot changes and office hours answer Copilot questions all year. The briefing and office hours cover whatever your company runs on, Microsoft or otherwise. Custom builds are out of scope beyond what fits in an office-hours answer; when the build requests pile up, we'll show you the list and talk about Fractional CAIO. Workshops and other custom requests are quoted separately: email admin@edgeteam.io or book a call. ## Where this comes from We built EdgeCorporate after two engagements taught us the same thing from opposite ends. At a managed-services provider rolling Copilot out to 40 people, the custom agent we built was superseded by a Microsoft release within six weeks; the monthly reporting, the working sessions, and the governance of a 60-skill library were what lasted. At a nine-person nonprofit, one afternoon where each person built their own workflow produced tools still in use months later. So EdgeCorporate is standing support plus hands-on cohorts, with no custom agent in the base package. ## Questions sponsors ask on the program call **What will I see for the money each month?** A recap with the tracker: who came to office hours and from which departments, what they asked, what got resolved, which platform features got turned on, and how your cohort participants are doing. **Can our people do a private cohort instead of the public run?** The public runs are the program; mixed rooms are where the best questions come from. Private runs are quoted separately. **We haven't picked a platform yet.** Then start with the [assessment](https://services.edgeteam.io/assessment/) or bring the choice to the kickoff. The program works on any of the major platforms. **Can you run a workshop for us instead?** Yes, quoted separately. Email admin@edgeteam.io or book a call and tell us the audience and the day. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) --- title: "Fractional Chief AI Officer + Engineering" description: "One person accountable for AI at your company, a weekly working session with your leaders, a monthly report written for your board, and one active build at a time from a backlog you own. From $10,000 a month." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/fractional-caio/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # One person accountable for AI at your company, with the team that ships it. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | from $10,000/mo | | Length | Six-month minimum, then month to month | | Paid by | Invoice | | Book | [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) | You get a weekly working session with your leaders, a monthly report written for your executive team, and one active build at a time from a backlog you own. From $10,000 a month, six-month minimum. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) ## Who it's for Your executive team has AI work scattered across departments, vendors, and one enthusiastic employee, and nobody accountable for the whole. You want one person who owns the roadmap, shows up every week, reports every month, and has a team that builds what the roadmap calls for. You'd hire for it if you knew what the role should be. **Not for:** companies that want training only (see [EdgeCorporate](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecorporate/)) or a one-time diagnostic (see the [assessment](https://services.edgeteam.io/assessment/)). ## What you get - **Dan Klosterman as your AI executive.** He owns your AI roadmap, the decisions, and the results, and reports to your leadership like an officer would. - **A weekly 60-minute advisory call** with your sponsor and whoever the week's decision needs. Every call includes a build demo, even a small one. - **A monthly report you can forward to your board unchanged**, the day before a 60-minute leadership call: what shipped, what it did, what's next, what needs a decision, what the risks are. - **One active build at a time, from a roadmap you own.** Your leadership sets the priorities. Our engineering team ships the next build, then the next. You always see what's in progress, what's queued, and what shipped. Builds are planned in two-week cycles, so nothing is ever more than two weeks from a checkpoint. - **Systems you own.** Every build ships in your environment under your accounts, with a runbook and a trained owner on your side. An AI roadmap and a 90-day plan each quarter, a backlog you can see any time, and a Slack channel with your team. ## What it asks of you A sponsor for the weekly hour and the executive team for the monthly hour. Access to systems and data within five business days of a request; access is the long pole in every engagement. A named owner on your side for every build, and decisions within five business days when we ask for them. ## How it runs **The first 30 days** should feel like an executive arrived. Week one, Dan listens: your leaders, your system owners, your data. Week two, the inventory and the backlog. Week three, the AI operating plan, presented to your leadership on the first monthly call. Week four, the first build is moving. **Every build** starts from a one-page brief: the problem, the trigger, the output, the user, the human review point, the success measure, and what's out of scope. The brief is approved on the advisory call. The build is demoed every week and ships with a runbook, under your accounts, in your environment. Thirty days later, the measure is checked and reported. **Changing your mind** is fine. Reorder the backlog any time. Changing an active build's scope sends it back to the backlog as a new build, so the current one ships as written. ## What it costs From $10,000 a month, invoiced, six-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' notice. That price is one active build at a time. If you want two builds moving in parallel, that's a separate order form; ask on the call. ## What it is not We don't quote hours. Hosting, SLAs, and 24/7 support are separate terms when you need them. When a build touches regulated data or decisions, we say so and route it to your specialists rather than give a legal or compliance opinion. Parallel builds are a separate order form, not something that creeps in. ## Where this comes from The model was written for a real estate team with a 200-task back office, a training library nobody could search, an inherited software product, and a website to move. We have held a working session with them every week since February. Three systems shipped by August, and their operations lead now ships code herself. The second story is a wind-energy services company whose crew-scheduling whiteboards became a live app in their own cloud, launched in July and extended to a second department by September. Named versions of both are coming as the clients approve them. ## Questions executives ask on the fit call **How is this different from hiring?** A full-time Chief AI Officer is a $250,000-plus seat before you know whether you need one. This is the mandate, the cadence, and a build team, for six months, and it tells you what the permanent role should look like. **What if we need three things built at once?** Then we'll show you the backlog with the three in order and start the first one this week. Parallel builds are available; most companies find that one thing shipped every three weeks beats three things in progress. **Who does the building, and what do we own?** EdgeTeam's engineering team, which includes Dan, and you'll know who is on your build by name. You own every build, the accounts it runs in, and the documentation.

Four weeks, two live hours a week. $997 a seat, one seat or the whole team." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/zero-to-hero/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # Send your people to learn AI by building something they'll use on Monday. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Price | $997 a seat | | Length | Four weeks | | Next cohort | Starts January 12, 2027 | | Paid by | Card | | Book | [Join the January cohort list](mailto:admin@edgeteam.io?subject=Zero%20to%20Hero%3A%20January%202027%20cohort) | Four weeks, two live hours a week, and each person leaves with one working AI workflow built for their own job. $997 a seat. Send one person or the whole team; owners often send themselves first. The next cohort starts January 12. [Join the January cohort list](mailto:admin@edgeteam.io?subject=Zero%20to%20Hero%3A%20January%202027%20cohort) ## Who it's for You run a team or a company whose work is documents, email, meetings, spreadsheets, and customer conversations. Your people use AI a little and you want them using it for real work. Nobody needs to be technical, and you don't need to attend, though owners who do get the most out of it because they see what to ask for afterward. **Not for:** people who want to write code or ship an automation. That's the [AI Builder cohort](https://services.edgeteam.io/builder/). ## What your people get - **A working AI workflow** each person built, ready to use on Monday, and a certificate when they finish. - **Four live sessions with Andy Jorgensen**, Tuesdays at 11:00 Central, 60 minutes each. A second facilitator answers questions in chat. - **Four office hours**, Thursdays at noon Central, where they drop in with a question or a screen. - **Breakouts by platform** in weeks two and three: Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini. They work in the tool your company uses. - **A cohort Slack channel** that stays open after graduation, and recordings of everything the same day. ## What it asks of you Two hours a week of each person's time for four weeks, on work time. A laptop and an account on the AI tool your company uses. If you're sending several people, one email from you saying it matters. ## The four weeks | Week | Live session | They leave with | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | What these tools are good at and what they aren't, and the one workflow each person will build | A workflow, named | | 2 | Their platform, hands on, in a breakout with people using the same one | A first working version | | 3 | Context, reusable instructions, files, and turning a task into something repeatable | The workflow, repeatable | | 4 | They show it, then how to keep it running at work | The workflow, running, and a certificate | ## What it costs $997 a seat, by card. Buy one seat or twenty on one order. EdgeCore members and EdgeCore Pro and EdgeCorporate participants attend through their programs. Above ten people, [EdgeCorporate](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecorporate/) is usually the better structure, because it adds the office hours and briefing that keep the workflows alive. ## What it is not Every session is live and they build during it, so there's no video course to get through. Each person picks one platform and goes deep on it rather than touring all of them. There's no code, no terminal, and no automation tool. ## Where this comes from Before the cohort there were the workshops: about 100 people in April, 140 to 150 in May, and a ten-person hands-on room in July with one instructor for every three people. Fifty-nine companies applied for the October run through the state grant program. And there's a nine-person nonprofit whose staff each built a workflow in one afternoon in June, a pre-approval letter generator, a whiteboard-photo transcriber, a brand skill, and were still using them months later. That afternoon is this cohort, stretched to four weeks so it sticks. ## Questions people ask before they register **What do my people come back with?** A workflow they built and use, the recordings, the Slack channel, and a certificate. You'll know who finished. **Do I need to attend?** No. Owners who attend get the most out of it, because they see what to ask for afterward. **What if someone can't make a live session?** Recordings land the same day, and Thursday office hours pick up anything they missed. **I've never used AI myself.** Week one starts from zero. That's the name.

You have a real problem from your business or a client's business, access to the system or data it involves, and a specific thing you want automated or an agent you want running. **Not for:** people who want a repeatable workflow inside a chat tool. That's [Zero to Hero](https://services.edgeteam.io/zero-to-hero/), and we'll say so in the application reply. ## What you get at the end - **One build, bounded and deployed.** A single trigger, a single output, a single user, running somewhere other than your builder's laptop, in your accounts. Week one exists to cut the project down to that, because the most common failure in builder programs is a project that's three projects. - **A README someone else could run it from.** It comes with a written list of the ways the build fails and what was done about each. Week three is about failure: bad input, tool errors, refusals, hallucinated fields, cost. - **A builder who has shipped once, with Dan reviewing.** Every Wednesday at 11:00 Central, Dan builds the week's step on a reference project from a blank state, on camera, including the decisions he abandons and the things that break. Every Friday at noon, your builder shows their build running or failing, and Dan reads the code or the flow with them and names the one change that matters most. ## What it asks of you Two hours a week of your builder's time for four weeks, plus build time between sessions. Access to the system or data the build touches, sorted before week one. A business-tier account on the AI platform they'll use. ## The four weeks | Week | Wednesday build | Friday clinic | By Friday your builder has | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Scope and stand up | Scope review | A scope sentence, an environment, a first successful call | | 2 | The core path | Debugging | The right output on three real inputs | | 3 | Survive contact: evals, failures, guardrails, logging, review points, cost | Failure clinic | A failure list with fixes, ten real inputs run | | 4 | Ship: deploy, README, handoff, what to monitor | Demo day | A deployed build and a certificate | ## What it costs $1,497 (list price $1,997) a seat, by card, after the application is accepted. The founding cohort is priced below the list price because it's the first run and we'll ask your builder for feedback every week. EdgeCore members and EdgeCorporate participants attend through their programs. ## What it is not Every week is your builder's build, so there's no curriculum to consume. Claude Code and the Claude API are the default path, and builders on Make, n8n, or another agent framework are welcome. Business-tier accounts are required, and the terms say so, because client data doesn't belong in personal accounts. ## Where this comes from This cohort hasn't run yet, which is why the first one is application-only and priced as a founding run. The outcome it exists to produce we've watched happen once, slowly: an operations lead at a real estate company with no developer background who, over four months of weekly review, moved her project from a no-code tool to a real application, deploys through GitHub, runs the tests through Claude, and now ships every week. Four weeks is that loop, compressed. ## Apply Ten questions, about fifteen minutes. The button opens an email to admin@edgeteam.io with the questions already in it: answer them and send. You can fill it in for your builder or have them do it. Dan reads every application and replies within three business days with one of three answers: you're in, not this run and here's the specific thing to sort out first, or this isn't the right program and here's the one that is.

Which describes you best: I write code / I build in no-code tools / I read code and can modify it / none of these. 6. What have you built with AI so far, if anything? Links welcome. 7. Which tools do you plan to use? (Claude Code, an agent SDK, Make or n8n, other) 8. Can you attend Wednesday 11:00 and Friday 12:00 Central for four weeks? 9. Are you an EdgeCore member, an EdgeCore Pro member, or attending through an EdgeCorporate program? (affects seat type, not acceptance) 10.

We also run AI Edge Summit and EdgeCore." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/about/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # A small AI firm in Sioux Falls that will tell you what not to build. EdgeTeam helps owners and leadership teams decide where AI is worth the money, trains their people to use it, and builds the parts that should be built. We run AI Edge Summit and the EdgeCore builders group, and every price we charge is on this site. [Book a 30-minute call](https://meet.edgeteam.io/) ## A letter from Dan Most owners I talk to have the same three things: AI ideas, vendors pitching, and no independent way to decide where the money should go. So we stopped selling a menu of services and built six programs, one for each situation we kept seeing. Every price is on the site. On the first call I'll tell you which program fits, including "none of them yet." If the honest answer to an idea is a conventional fix instead of AI, the assessment says so in writing. Andy and I teach the cohorts ourselves: he teaches Zero to Hero, I teach the AI Builder cohort. Builds come from our engineering team, which includes me. Anything you share goes into EdgeTeam business accounts with no-training terms, and builds run in your accounts, so you own them. ## Who we are **Dan Klosterman, co-founder and Chief AI Officer.** Teaches the AI Builder cohort and the AI app-building workshop at AI Edge Summit. **Andy Jorgensen, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer.** Teaches the Zero to Hero workshop and cohort, leads client relationships, and founded AI Edge Summit. ## Where we work EdgeTeam LLC is based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Calls, cohorts, and office hours run on Zoom and Slack, so you don't need to be in Sioux Falls to work with us.

Every price, term, and booking link comes from one catalog file. If a page and the catalog disagree, the build uses the catalog and prints a warning, so a price can't drift between the homepage and a program page. ## Static pages, almost no JavaScript The site is built with Astro into plain HTML and served by a Cloudflare Worker. The program picker on the homepage works with CSS alone. Fonts are self-hosted, with fallbacks measured to match them so the page doesn't jump when they load. ## The drawings The isometric figures are generated as SVG by a short script from the same data the pages use: the seven plates in Fig. 0 are the seven domains the AI Audit scores. There is no stock illustration and no AI-generated imagery on the site. ## For AI agents - Every page is also available as Markdown. Add `index.md` to its address, or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`. - [/llms.txt](https://services.edgeteam.io/llms.txt) lists the pages, and [/llms-full.txt](https://services.edgeteam.io/llms-full.txt) has the whole site in one file. - [/rates.json](https://services.edgeteam.io/rates.json) has every program's price and terms as data. - Each page carries JSON-LD that matches what's visible on it: the organization, the people, the programs and their prices, and the Summit. - The homepage program finder is a plain HTML form with WebMCP attributes, so a browser agent can use it as a tool. ## Built with AI agents, checked by people The site was written with Claude Code from a written design system and the services copy. Dan reviews every page, and every build is checked for leftover author notes, unconfirmed claims, and Lighthouse scores. --- title: "Frequently asked questions" description: "Prices, commitments, who shows up, and what happens to your data, for companies and for people learning AI themselves." url: https://services.edgeteam.io/faq/ updated: 2026-10-07 --- # Frequently asked questions ## For companies ### Do you publish your prices? Yes. Every program shows a "from" price, because a 20-person company and a 200-person company are different amounts of work. We tell you your exact number on the first call and it doesn't move afterward. Cohort seats are a flat price. ### Do the programs stack? Mostly no. Each one is built for a different situation: an owner who needs a standing advisor, an organization that needs its people trained, a leadership team that needs an AI executive and a build team. You pick one, and if your situation changes, you move rather than add. A few include each other: EdgeCore Pro and EdgeCorporate include EdgeCore seats, their members can join the cohorts, and the assessment fee credits toward a retainer started within 60 days. ### How many hours do I get? We don't sell hours. Each program says exactly what happens and when: the calls, the cohorts, the office hours, and for Fractional CAIO, one active build at a time from a backlog you prioritize. You always see what's in progress, what's queued, and what shipped. ### Is there a guarantee? No. We won't promise results we don't control. The assessment can tell you not to proceed with an idea, and it will if that's the honest answer. The one refund promise is EdgeCore's: a 30-day money-back guarantee on membership. ### Who teaches, and who shows up? The two founders. Andy Jorgensen teaches the Zero to Hero workshop and cohort. Dan Klosterman, EdgeTeam's Chief AI Officer, teaches the AI Builder cohort and runs the advisory work: the AI Audit, EdgeCore Pro's private hours, and the Fractional CAIO engagement. Builds come from EdgeTeam's engineering team, which includes Dan. ### What will I see for the money? Every monthly program sends a written recap after each session and a quarterly review that asks whether it's still the right program. EdgeCorporate adds an adoption tracker. Fractional CAIO adds a monthly report written to be forwarded to your board. The assessment ends with a report you can forward unchanged. ### What happens to our data? It goes only into EdgeTeam business accounts with no-training terms, never personal AI accounts. We record working sessions with Fathom so nothing is lost; recordings stay inside EdgeTeam and are deleted when the engagement ends. Builds run in your accounts, and you own them. ### We're a Microsoft shop. Will this help with Copilot? Yes. EdgeCorporate's monthly platform briefing covers what changed in Microsoft 365 and Copilot and what to do about it, the cohorts run in the tool your company uses, and office hours answer Copilot questions from anyone on staff. It isn't a one-day Copilot workshop, though we run workshops separately on request. Email admin@edgeteam.io or book a call for anything custom. ### We already pay for ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude. Why do we need this? Paying for seats doesn't get people using them. Most of the companies we talk to have paid seats that a handful of people use. The cohorts and office hours are how the rest of the team gets there. ### Can we start small? The AI Audit is the small start: two weeks, from $5,000, and a plan you can carry out without us. If you start any retainer within 60 days, the audit fee counts toward it. ### What's the minimum commitment? Assessment: one engagement. EdgeCore Pro: month to month, 30 days' notice. EdgeCorporate and Fractional CAIO: six months, then month to month. ### How do we pay? Cohorts and EdgeCore Pro by card. The assessment, EdgeCorporate, and Fractional CAIO by invoice, first period upfront. ### What if it isn't working? Say so on the next call. Every retainer has a monthly recap and a quarterly review where we ask that question ourselves, and the answer can be "move to a different program" or "stop." ### We're not in Sioux Falls. Everything runs on Zoom and Slack. The one in-person moment is AI Edge Summit, each fall in Sioux Falls. ## If you're learning AI yourself **Can I pay for this myself?** Yes. Each option is priced for one person and paid by card: a Summit ticket, one Zero to Hero seat, one AI Builder seat once your application is accepted, or an EdgeCore membership. **Can my company pay instead?** Yes. A company can buy your seat, or several seats on one order. If you want EdgeTeam working with your whole team, see [the company programs](https://services.edgeteam.io/#programs). **Do I need to be technical?** Not for the Summit, Zero to Hero, or EdgeCore. AI Builder asks that you're comfortable in a terminal or a no-code automation tool, and that you bring a project. **Where should I start?** New to AI at work: Zero to Hero. Already building: AI Builder. Want a room of people building with AI every week: EdgeCore. Want to see it all first: AI Edge Summit on October 29.
