Fractional

How This Works

Greater impact. Lower cost.
Built for nonprofits.

A full Chief Strategy & Communications Officer function usually means multiple departments: researchers, writers, designers, a policy shop, a production team, and more. Place Fractional delivers all of that with one senior strategist working through a documented, repeatable AI-enabled stack — not a vague promise that "AI helps," but a specific set of tools doing specific jobs, with an executive validating every output before it moves.

● The stack

Five tools, each doing one job.

This is the same stack documented and running inside the APAP engagement — not a hypothetical toolkit.

01

Fireflies.AI

Capture & intelligence

Turns every stakeholder conversation into searchable transcript and structured follow-up, so nothing said in a room gets lost between meetings.

02

Notion

Single source of truth

Every strategy document, decision tracker, and messaging framework lives in one connected workspace — the record Claude operates from, so nothing forks across a dozen disconnected files.

03

Claude

Synthesis & drafting

Builds first-draft memos, testimony, messaging frameworks, and stakeholder maps from source material — public records, prior testimony, funding relationships, meeting transcripts.

04

Claude Code

Build & deployment

Builds and ships the actual public-facing infrastructure — resource hubs, microsites, tools — straight from validated strategy, with no separate dev handoff in between.

05

Gamma

Production

Converts strategy into board-ready and funder-ready decks and briefs at a speed a traditional design cycle can’t match.

● The workflow

What it looks like in practice.

  1. Capture. Every meeting, briefing, and stakeholder conversation is recorded and transcribed — nothing depends on memory.
  2. Research. The first map gets assembled fast from Notion's connected workspace and Claude's own research — public records, prior testimony, funding relationships, voting history.
  3. Draft. Claude builds the first version of the memo, the testimony, the deck outline, the messaging matrix — from that assembled material, not from a blank page.
  4. Validate. An executive reads, checks, and confirms every draft against real conversations and real judgment before it moves. AI drafts; it doesn't decide.
  5. Produce & deploy. Production tools turn validated strategy into board-ready decks, funder-ready briefs, and public-facing copy — at a speed a traditional department can't match.

● The mechanism

Strategy lives in one system, gets built by AI agents working from that system, and comes out the other end as government-relations-grade tactics and production-grade collateral — at fractional cost because the labor that used to sit between strategy and output has been collapsed.
