Put AI to work. Keep the risk in check.
ABOUT ME
Who is Daniel Brewer?
I studied political science and risk management at Drury University, a double major that taught me how people and institutions make decisions, and how to spot what can go wrong before it does. I founded the Maxwell Stellan Foundation, where I serve as Director of Operations and Communication, and I consult independently for businesses, nonprofits and environmental initiatives. I've also guided a new business from registration all the way to launch. Today I help teams put AI to work wisely, with strategy, guardrails and clear documentation, so they can run it without me.
AI Strategy
Find the tasks where AI saves real time, choose the right tools, and roll them out so your team actually uses them.
Risk & Guardrails
Spot the privacy, legal and reputation risks before they bite, and set simple policies your team can follow.
Business Strategy
Clarify where you're headed, what's in the way, and the few moves that matter most this year.
Opportunity and risk, weighed together
First I listen to how your business really runs. Then we map each AI opportunity against what it could cost you. Together we build a clear, written plan with priorities and owners. Finally I help you launch it, document everything, and leave your team confident running it on their own.
Start here: AI Readiness Review
A fixed-scope first step: we map where AI fits your business, where the risks are, and what to do first.
1. Listen
A focused session on how your business really runs, where time goes, and which tools your team already uses.
2. Map
Each AI opportunity weighed against its privacy, legal and reputation risk, so you see the real trade-offs.
3. Plan
