Founder-led AI advisory
Counsel for AI you have to defend
Bast is building in healthcare. Beth also keeps limited, premium advisory capacity for leaders in other high-integrity industries where the AI decision must survive the boardroom, the frontline, and scrutiny.
Healthcare firstBast’s operating focus is healthcare. Other industries are selective founder engagements.
Three seatsPremium, direct access to Beth, not a bench of junior consultants.
Judgment before toolingFind the real problem, test institutional readiness, and determine whether Bast is the right fit.
Foundational narrative
When trusted knowledge learns to speak
The point of view beneath the advisory work: knowledge emerges in context; institutions and communities should govern the intelligence built from what they know; and LLMs can become public utilities while private data remains private.
The models are not the community’s intelligence. The community is.

Article 50 applies now
The high-risk deadlines moved. The transparency duties did not. The operational question is who owns each obligation and how they prove it.

You do not need AGI. You need agreement.

The working model
A seat at the table, not another layer.
I work across executive, technical, operational, clinical, and risk leadership until the organization can tell one coherent story about the decision.
There is a live, consequential decision; one accountable leader; and direct access to the people doing the work.
You need a rubber stamp, an AI sales deck, or advice that stays at arm’s length from the decision.
Advisory stands on its own. When it reveals a problem Bast should solve, we enter that relationship with the boundaries, readiness, and mutual fit already understood.
I keep three advisory relationships at a time. The first call is a conversation, not a pitch.
