Find the priority
Map the business and the decision bottlenecks, and identify where AI actually moves the numbers for a North Idaho operator.
AI consultant in
Coeur d'Alene, ID.
Fractional AI strategy and hands-on building for North Idaho companies, from the Spokane corridor. A consultant at the table in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, and Hayden, not a vendor on a screen.
BASE
Spokane, WA, ~35 minutes away
CADENCE
Working prototype in about 30 days
INFRASTRUCTURE
Four-node local AI cluster
Next door.
Not flown in.
Twenty years at Verizon took me from a mall kiosk in Spokane to Associate Vice President of Solutions Architecture for National Technical Sales, leading more than 450 people. That background now runs through Takisaki Strategy: AI strategy, agent systems, and working software for companies across North Idaho.
Build the prototype
Put the priority into working software, typically in about 30 days, tested on the business’s own data before anyone commits to scaling it.
Stay embedded
Carry the priority through adoption as a fractional Chief Strategy Officer, the same seat behind the AI operations case below.
Across North Idaho.
And the corridor.
In-person work is easy across Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and Sandpoint, and back over the state line in Spokane. Remote engagements run anywhere.

Questions, answered.
Do you actually come to Coeur d'Alene, or is this remote-only?
The practice is based in Spokane, about 35 minutes from downtown Coeur d'Alene, so in-person work across the state line is straightforward. Remote engagements run anywhere.
Why work with a local practice instead of a national firm?
A local operator sits at the table and runs the same infrastructure used for client prototypes, rather than flying in for a workshop and leaving a deck behind.
How fast can a North Idaho business see something working?
About 30 days for a focused prototype: a short diagnostic to find the highest-ROI opportunity, then a fixed-scope build tested on real data before anyone commits to scaling it.
What kinds of companies does the practice work with in North Idaho?
Operator-led companies across Kootenai County, including construction and trades, healthcare, hospitality, and professional services, where a leader wants AI to fix a real, expensive problem.
