SRJ Consulting & Services LLC came online today at srjconsultingservices.com. The new resource hub at srjconsultingservices.com/books opens with free templates, worksheets, and framework graphics for executives who need to bring AI under management. No email required. No registration. The same artifacts used in active client engagements, made available for any executive who wants to evaluate their own AI operating discipline before talking to anyone.
Most companies are losing 15 to 30 percent of their AI spend to tools no one approved, subscriptions no one tracks, and embedded features no one opted into. The cost shows up in budgets where reporting was never designed to look. By the time leadership asks where the money went, the audit trail does not exist. SRJ Consulting & Services LLC was built to give executives the operating discipline to fix that.
The Unmanaged AI Problem
Inside the mid-market business, AI does not arrive through a single executive decision. It arrives in fragments. An employee starts using a chat tool for drafting. A finance team enables AI features in Excel. A vendor pushes an update that activates AI capabilities no one reviewed. Marketing pays for a tool that nobody else knows about. Customer service runs a chatbot trial that never officially ended.
None of it is governed the way the same business governs finance, hiring, or compliance. The accumulated cost is real. The accumulated risk is real. The opportunity cost of running AI as scattered tools instead of a managed business function is the real exposure.
The fix is not more technology. The fix is operational discipline.
What SRJ Consulting & Services Is Built For
The new SRJ Consulting & Services website is built for executives who need to bring AI under management without first hiring an AI team. The site is organized around how operating decisions actually get made. Where to start. What to evaluate first. How to govern what is already in place. Which resources are open for internal use before any consultant is called in.
SRJ Consulting & Services works with owners, presidents, CFOs, and COOs at organizations from 20 to 1,000 employees. Engagements are senior-led, operator-led, and designed for businesses without dedicated AI teams or unlimited consulting budgets. That same operating posture shapes the public site. The templates, the framework, the worksheets, and the graphics library are all open. The pages do operator work, not marketing work.
What Is Free at srjconsultingservices.com/books
The new resource hub consolidates every published artifact from the firm into one location. No gates. No forms. Open access. The same templates running inside active engagements, posted without modification, because executives evaluating their own operating discipline should not have to negotiate for the tools to do it.
Currently live:
The full template and worksheet set. The AI Tool Inventory for surfacing every AI tool, subscription, and embedded feature currently running. The Real Cost of AI worksheet for translating fragmented spend into a single number leadership can act on. The Risk Categorization framework for sorting exposure by severity rather than vendor. The Vendor Governance template for closing the gap between procurement and operations. The Operational Health Check for evaluating whether AI is supporting the business or stretching it. The Decision Accountability Framework for naming, by function and by quarter, who owns what. All formatted as ready-to-edit Excel and Word files.
The Chapter Graphics Library. Every figure, diagram, and framework graphic from the SRJ operating discipline framework, available as a downloadable PNG file. Use them in board decks, internal memos, leadership offsites, or team training. No permission requests. No attribution friction.
Where to Start
If your leadership team cannot name, by function and by quarter, who is accountable for AI, what it costs, and what happens when it goes wrong, the resources at srjconsultingservices.com/books are where I would start. Read the framework. Run the templates against your own business. See what shows up.
