Fractional AI expertise
WinSphere delivers fractional AI expertise to B2B service firms of 10 to 50 FTE that have had an AI or automation role open for four to six weeks or longer. You have budget and intent, but the senior hire is not landing. We fill the gap with scarce AI capacity on tap: no consultant hours, no annual contract, but working systems in production. For hiring managers and budget holders in the Netherlands and Europe.
In 30 minutes you know whether filling it fractionally is faster than continuing the search, no pitch.
What is WinSphere?
WinSphere is the AI & automation partner for B2B service firms, founded by Rafael Matabadal. We determine which systems you should build and in what order, and then build them: the foundation first (clean data, connected systems), then the workflows that cost your team time. For recruitment agencies, accountancy firms and B2B service providers of 10 to 50 FTE in the Netherlands and Europe.
The situation
Your business case is done, the budget is ready and the vacancy is live. Except: a senior AI or automation hire is scarce, expensive and slow to find. Every week the role stays open, the work sits still, and the pressure grows to just hire someone.
The role stays open too long
Four, six, eight weeks in and the shortlist is still empty. The work you opened the role for keeps being postponed all that time.
Cost: momentum and lead time
The wrong hire is expensive
Hiring under pressure means an annual contract for someone who might not be the one. A mis-hire easily costs a multiple of the salary.
Cost: fixed contract, fixed risk
Consultant hours add up
Hiring an agency by the hour delivers advisory decks and dependency, not a system that keeps running after the engagement.
Cost: hours without ownership
The outcome
Fractional AI expertise fills the gap from week one. You get the seniority of an experienced AI and automation architect, deployed for part of the week, focused on working systems in production. And your search for the permanent hire? It simply continues.
1
week
to productive deployment, instead of weeks of recruiting and onboarding.
0
annual contract
flexible deployment per week or per engagement, cancellable once you have your permanent hire.
1
architect
one accountable person who builds, monitors and hands over to your future hire.
Illustrative deployment, not a guaranteed lead time. The actual start depends on your stack and scope.
How it works
No vague retainer, no open end. A defined deployment with a clear assignment and a transferable result.
The work
The search
01
Scope & order
We determine which systems deliver the most and in what order, the judgment before the build, aligned with the role you have open.
02
Fractional deployment
A fixed half-day or days per week. The architect builds and manages the systems in your existing stack, on tap. You scale up or down as needed.
03
Handover
Everything runs in production and is documented. Your permanent hire lands? Then you hand over a working system, not half a project.
✓
Gap filled, keep growing
The work is no longer sitting still, and you do not have to compromise on your permanent hire.
The search simply continues
You pay for senior AI capacity at the moment you need it, no fixed contract, no consultant hours adding up without anything left running.
Fill the gap now, while you keep searching. When the right permanent hire lands, you hand over a working system instead of a backlog.
The difference
You have roughly three routes if the role stays open. Here is why filling it fractionally plugs the gaps the others leave.
The usual routes
01 / 03
✕
Keep recruiting. The work sits still as long as the role stays open, and the pressure to compromise grows by the week.
02 / 03
✕
Hiring under pressure. An annual contract for someone who might not be the one. A mis-hire costs a multiple of the salary.
03 / 03
✕
Consultant by the hour. Advisory decks and dependency, not a system that keeps running in production after the engagement.
