Rank is page-relative. See the methodology.

Evidence notes

  • The firm site does not print a street address.
  • William Callaway's LinkedIn dates the co-founder role from February 2026, so the operating history is short.
  • Score 41 from ratings of 1, 3, 1, 3, and 2 on Track Record, Segment Fit, Pricing Transparency, Responsiveness, and Credentials. Points equal each weight times the rating divided by 5. First-party evidence is capped at 4.
  • William Callaway's LinkedIn lists Co-Founder at LightSight AI from February 2026 and prior product roles at Microsoft and Amazon. Those employer lines are on LinkedIn, not on the firm pages reviewed.
Main limitation: The fractional CAIO offer is on the firm site. The fee is Not published, and the firm is new.
