Fractional AI Partner

Most companies don't need a full-time AI engineer. They need a fraction of a good one.

I find what your operations waste — in dollars — build the systems that fix it, then stay on as the part-time engineer who keeps it that way. Like a fractional CFO, but for the work itself. Audit first. Outcomes always. Cancel any month.

01  The free call

Even the free call pays for itself.

Thirty minutes, three answers — whether or not we ever work together.
YOU LEAVE KNOWING

where your operations most likely leak — based on how you describe the work, not a generic checklist.

YOU LEAVE KNOWING

whether an audit is likely to clear its 10× bar — and if it isn't, I'll say so before you spend anything.

YOU LEAVE KNOWING

exactly what working with one engineer — instead of an agency — would look like for your company.

02  How the engagement runs

Each phase earns the next.

You can stop after any of them. Nothing locks you in.
01 — CALLFREE

The call

You describe how the company runs. I tell you whether an audit is worth it — and if it isn't, I say so.

02 — AUDIT~1 WEEK

The dollar figure

Every leak, priced per year, in writing. Guaranteed to surface 10× its fee in annual leakage — or it's free.

03 — BUILDPER PROJECT

Close the leaks

You pick which leaks justify their fix. I build the systems; they run on your accounts, no lock-in.

04 — PARTNERMONTHLY

The fractional part

I stay on, part-time: systems kept healthy, new leaks priced as you grow, every proposal with a number attached. Cancel any month.

03  The deliverable

Not a report. A map of your operation with dollars attached.

The audit's output. Here's the shape of it — toggle to see current state versus fixed.

Total annual leak — current state $527,400
Illustrative figures. Your map is built from interviews with you and your team — every number traceable to your own hours and rates.
04  Proof

A system already doing this — every day.

A dental lab was drowning in spreadsheets, status calls, and disconnected billing. I built the systems that closed each leak. They run on it now.
Case study · Arche Dental

From scattered spreadsheets and lost emails to one system the lab and its dental offices run on.

The leaks

Manual case tracking, no client visibility, invoicing slipping through the cracks, communication scattered across email and phone.

What I built

A connected system: case pipeline, a portal where dental offices track their own cases, and invoicing tied directly to the work.

How it works

The repetitive work — status updates, invoicing, data moving between steps — runs automatically. Anything touching money or a client gets human approval.

The result

The lab stopped being the glue. Status answers itself, billing flows from the work, and one source of truth replaced the drives and inboxes.

05  Why a partner, not a project

Fixes decay. Businesses change. The math should keep running.

A

Every system I build gets maintained, monitored, and improved as your volume and tools change — by the person who built it.

B

New leaks appear as you grow. On retainer, the audit becomes standing practice: fresh dollar figures on whatever's leaking now.

C

AI tooling shifts monthly. You get someone whose job is knowing which of it matters for your operations — measured in dollars, not demos.

D

Same rule as day one: anything I propose comes with the math attached, and you can cancel any month. The retainer has to keep earning itself.

It all starts with the audit — and if it doesn't surface at least 10× its fee in annual leakage, you don't pay for it.
In writing. No fine print. The risk sits on my side of the table.

The engineer behind De Leon Partners.

Miguel De Leon. Five years building production software — payments and automation, where mistakes cost real money. Solo by design: the person who audits your operations, writes the code, and answers the phone is the same person.

07  Questions

Frequently asked

What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Owner-led companies where work flows through people and paperwork — logistics, distribution, construction and trades, manufacturing, property management, professional services. If your team re-types things between systems, that's my territory.
Is this about chatbots?
No. I build operational systems: quote engines, document-intake automation, proactive customer updates, invoicing pipelines, owner dashboards. Software that does work, not software that chats.
What does it cost?
The call is free. The audit is a fixed fee, priced on the call based on the size of your operation — and covered by the guarantee: if it doesn't surface at least 10× its fee in annual leakage, you don't pay. Builds are scoped from your map's own ROI math, and the retainer is month-to-month.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The audit speaks in hours and dollars, not architecture. Your team keeps working the way they work — the systems fit around them, with humans approving anything that matters.
What happens after something is built?
It runs on your infrastructure and your data is always yours — if we ever part ways, nothing breaks. If you want, I stay on part-time as your AI partner: systems kept healthy, new leaks priced as you grow, every proposal with the math attached. Cancel any month.
Remote or in person?
Both. Calls and builds happen remotely; I'm based in South Florida and show up in person for Florida clients when it matters.

Start with the call. Everything after it has to earn its keep.

Thirty minutes, free. Worst case, you learn where your time goes. Best case, you find out what the waste costs — before you spend a dollar.
