## About

Your AI questions are arriving faster than your answers. digitalBard exists for that moment.

We are a responsible AI strategy advisory serving CEOs, COOs, and executive teams at small and medium-sized businesses who need a trusted advisor, not a vendor.

No platform to sell. Engagements are built on human-centered design principles and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Executives leave with a decision framework, a prioritized use case roadmap, and a governance approach they can defend to their board.

Founder Carollynn Hammersmith brings 25+ years of combined commercial and federal program experience, including the IBM, Accenture, CGI, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Education, and IRS. She built this practice because she watched too many organizations hand that decision to a vendor. She works with leaders at professional services firms, education providers, nonprofits, federal contractors, and healthcare-adjacent organizations, helping them build an AI strategy grounded in their own values before vendors, internal pressure, or reactive decisions make the choice for them.

The pressure to adopt AI is real. Moving without a strategy creates risk and regret. digitalBard helps leadership teams move thoughtfully, then confidently.

Headquartered in Maryland, serving clients across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia, including Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, Reston, Tysons, and Annapolis. Remote engagements available.

Here's what working together looks like. Start with a no-cost 30-minute strategy conversation. From there: AI Possibility Lab (executive alignment anddiscovery), then Monthly AI Advisory (ongoing advisor relationship, no minimum term). Speaking Engagements on responsible AI leadership also available.

Capacity is limited each quarter.
