Where AI belongs in the operating plan
A ranked portfolio of AI opportunities tied to real operating metrics, with the work that should not be funded named just as plainly as the work that should.
AI Strategy and Technology Advisory
Healthcare AI rarely fails on the model. It fails on the decision around it.
Tuxedo Cat Consulting advises health systems, payers, and health technology companies on where artificial intelligence belongs, what it is actually worth, and who is accountable when it runs.
The practice
Six ways this firm gets brought in.
Engagements are scoped to a decision, not to a duration. Each one ends with something a board, a committee, or a buyer can act on.
An AI solutions arm without the headcount
Access to a vetted network of AI vendors across industries, plus enablement so your own sales team can carry AI solutions into their accounts.
IT strategy that answers to the business plan
Architecture, roadmap, and investment decisions aligned to what the organization is actually trying to achieve, rather than to the vendor calendar.
Executive coverage on a fractional basis
Interim and advisory CIO, CAIO, CISO, and CTO capacity for organizations in transition, in interim gaps, or between permanent hires.
Independent eyes on the programs that cannot slip
Oversight for complex healthcare, security, and government technology programs, including recovery of work that is already behind.
The people the plan depends on
Search and placement for the technology and AI roles that determine whether a strategy gets executed or gets shelved.
Who this is for
Four rooms, four different definitions of risk.
The technology looks similar across healthcare. The incentives, the regulators, and the tolerance for being wrong do not.
Health systems
Margin pressure, clinical safety, and a workforce that has been promised automation before.
Payers
Utilization, appeals, and automated determinations under rising regulatory scrutiny.
Government and security
Public-sector programs where oversight, procurement rules, and the audit trail are the work.
Health technology
Founders and investors who need a credible read on whether the buyer will move.
Insights
Published weekly, read by the people who sign.
Writing is not a marketing channel here. It is how the positions in this practice get tested in public before a client pays for them.
Start here
Bring the decision you are stuck on.
The first conversation is thirty minutes and costs nothing. If the work is not a fit, you will hear that in the first call rather than the second proposal.
