Chief Data, Digital & AI Officer
Where AI fits your business
We translate AI into business outcomes: which processes to redesign, which decisions to automate, which KPIs to move. Not tech for the sake of tech.

|Why We Exist
95% of AI projects fail.
Here's why ours don't.
❌
How 95% fail
1.
Buy a tool, hand it to the team
"Here's ChatGPT, figure it out"
2.
No training, no change management
Adoption drops after 3 weeks
3.
No measurement, no improvement
Deploy once, move on. Nobody tracks whether it's working.
4.
Zero ROI. Pilot dies quietly.
$30-40B wasted industry-wide (MIT 2025)
↓ Usage over time
VS
✅
How the 5% succeed
1.
Assess first, then build
Governance check + readiness before any tool
2.
Train the team, manage the change
People adopt because they understand why
3.
Stay, measure, iterate monthly
Usage analysis, refinement, continuous improvement
4.
AI gets better every month

The 5% who succeed share 3 patterns:
✓
Verify readiness first
Assess foundations and governance before any AI deployment. No tools without a clear use case.
✓
Process before tools
Document workflows first. AI automates what's defined, never what's invented.
✓
Continuous improvement
Monthly reviews. Refine, redeploy. AI gets better instead of degrading after launch.
More than AI
A full executive team.
In your pocket.
You don't just buy AI from us. You get the executives most companies hire one by one, all aligned around the way regulated industries actually work.
Chief Technology Officer
From design to production
We architect, build, integrate, and operate the platform on your behalf. One predictable monthly invoice. No firefighting from your team.
Chief Information Security Officer
Security as the foundation
Every deployment is mapped to ISO 42001, AI Act, NIS2, and GDPR. Your AI maturity and your security maturity grow in the same motion.
Examples of what we deliver
Data-driven management
- Live KPI cockpit across all your tools
- Anomaly detection on revenue, ops, support
- Monthly readout with prioritized actions
New use cases from your data
- Pattern mining on real usage signals
- Customer feedback turned into roadmap
- New features that grow market value
Continuous improvement loop

You don't just get AI. You get a partner for a world that won't stop changing. New regulations, new models, new threats every quarter. We track it so you don't have to.
Always currentWhat transformation actually means
AI isn't a technology project.
It's a transformation.
Most projects fail because they treat AI like software: buy it, plug it, hope it works. Real transformation touches six pillars. We assess them all, then build from the weakest, not the loudest.
Level 1 · Starting out · Score 0–15
Foundations are missing.
Your team uses AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot), but nobody knows who uses what or how. Processes live in people's heads, not in documents. Data sits in spreadsheets nobody trusts. There are no guardrails. AI is a wild west, not a strategy.
Where we start
We document your core workflows, define who owns what, and structure your data. No AI deployment until the foundations are solid.
Honest signal: deploying AI now would amplify the chaos. We slow down to speed up.
We start by understanding where you are. Your maturity score tells us where to begin and what foundations to build first. It doesn't determine what product you get: whether you need a simple skill or a full platform, we meet you where you are.
How we work
Transform once.
Operate every month.
Most consultants either deliver a project and disappear, or lock you into endless retainers without method. We do neither. We use U-E-S-D as our transformation method, then PDCA as our operating cycle. The first builds the future. The second keeps it running.
U
Phase 01 · Listen
Understand
We map your organization as a living ecosystem: the people, the loops, the invisible frictions. We surface the zones where data alone won't solve.
→ Problem statement · system mapE
Phase 02 · The flip
Envision
Counter-intuitive but critical: we project your AI-enabled future as if it already existed. Extract the design principles that hold it together.
→ Vision document + design principlesS
Phase 03 · Design
Solve
We design the architecture that makes the future real: structure, processes, governance, human–agent orchestration. A focused pilot, never a big bang.
→ 4-layer design + pilot planD
Phase 04 · Scale
Deploy
Pilot → learn → adjust. Change at two layers: individuals (ADKAR) and teams (X-Teams). We leave you with the capacity to keep redesigning yourselves.
→ Working system + internal capacityIn practice, Understand ↔ Envision run in iterative loops , not strict sequence. That's where the real learning happens.
Then, the operating cycle
The cycle that makes
the 5% succeed.
Most AI projects are deployed once and never improved. We follow a different model, built on the PDCA cycle and refined through MIT digital transformation research. Plan, Do, Check, Act, every month. We start with your operational maturity and build from there. That's the method behind the 5% that succeed.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
No. We design AI to augment your team, not replace it. AI handles repetitive tasks so your people focus on strategy, relationships, and creative problem-solving.
That's exactly who we work with. Boost AI needs zero development on your side, just Claude Team and custom skills we build for you. We meet you where you are.
A 1-page AI Readiness Scorecard with your maturity score across 6 pillars (Strategy, Governance, People, Process, Data, Technology), your #1 quick fix, 3 priority opportunities, and a recommended starting tier. Yours to keep, no strings attached.
Because a platform isn't a delivery, it's something you live with. The subscription model lets us apply our PDCA continuous improvement cycle every month, hosted on our infrastructure, with one predictable monthly invoice. Project-based delivery would mean shipping it once and walking away, which is exactly how the 95% fail.
It depends on the offer, and we want to be transparent about why.
Boost AI: Claude Team licenses are subscribed to directly by you, the client. You own the licenses, you control the data, you keep the relationship with the AI provider. We help you configure, build, and train, but you own everything when we leave. No lock-in, no ProHacktiv dependency.
Custom AI: AI infrastructure is included in your monthly fee. We host the platform on our side, manage the AI provider relationships, and bill you one predictable price. If usage materially exceeds standard token allowances in any given month, we bill overage transparently, no hidden margins.
No. We don't stitch low-code workflows. Our Custom AI platforms are purpose-built around your business, designed from scratch with the supporting stack we've spent years curating. If your need is a quick low-code automation, we're not the right partner.
Security and compliance are built into everything we deploy: logging, audit trails, guardrails. Vlad is PECB certified and brings a CISO background to every engagement.
Spark AI starts at €2,500 for a half-day workshop. Boost AI starts at €4,900 for a single-use-case engagement, scaling to €10,900 for three. Custom AI is a subscription starting at €950/month, with final pricing depending on use case complexity and customization scope. Development, hosting, support, monitoring, and continuous improvement are all included.
Plan, Do, Check, Act: a continuous improvement methodology. We plan together, build and deploy, measure results monthly, then adjust and improve. It's why our clients' AI gets better over time instead of stagnating after launch.

Every assessment is led personally by Vladimir. No junior consultants, no offshored work. The 1-hour discovery call is with the person who built the method.

Founded ProHacktiv after seeing too many AI projects fail the same way: tools deployed without governance, teams left to figure it out alone, no measurement, no follow-up. The 5% who succeed do it differently, and that's the method we sell.
“Show me your processes. I'll design your AI.”
Why this matters for your assessment. The online diagnostic gives you a number. The 1-hour discovery call gives you a roadmap built around your team, your stack, your risk profile, and your blind spots. That's something a tool can't do alone.
