Translating Business Ambition into Technical Reality.

AI and Data are not just IT projects; they are P&L strategies. I bridge the gap between "Slide Deck Consultants" and "Dev Shops," providing the strategic vision to define the future and the technical capability to build it.

A Product Leader Who Actually Builds.

My name is Ben Logan. For over 25 years, I have navigated the intersection of FinTech, Product Strategy, and emerging technology. I founded First Coast Intelligence to solve a specific problem: Strategies fail because the strategist can't build, and projects fail because the builders don't understand the business.

I am not a passive advisor. I am an Operator-Executive. I use modern tools (n8n, Cloud Code, LLMs) to rapidly prototype ideas myself, and I lead a specialized technical unit to scale those ideas into enterprise-grade assets.

Whether you need to monetize hidden data, structure a product roadmap, or deploy autonomous agents, I act as the translator between your business goals and the code required to achieve them.

Core Capabilities
(The 3 Pillars)

Pillar 1: AI Product Strategy & Governance

The “Safe Pair of Hands”

Before we build, we define "How to Win." I help organizations move beyond the hype to identify high-ROI use cases. I establish the governance frameworks regarding privacy, security, and internal policy to ensure your AI adoption is safe, compliant, and aligned with corporate goals.

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Pillar 2: Data Monetization & Product

The "Revenue Generator"

Efficiency is good; revenue is better. I view your internal data not as exhaust, but as a latent asset. I apply Product Management discipline to your data, identifying opportunities for external licensing, competitive leveraging, or new product creation.

Pillar 3: Technical Execution & Enablement

The "Builder"

Strategies fail without execution. I provide a full spectrum of delivery:

Rapid Prototyping: I personally build proof-of-concepts using low-code/code tools (Cloud Code, Dify/n8n, etc.) to validate ideas fast.

Scalable Development: For complex integrations, I lead a vetted technical team to handle full-stack deployment, ensuring you get "Dev Shop" power with "Executive" oversight.

Sample Engagement Models

Our Core Capabilities are flexible. While every partnership is tailored to the specific challenge, we typically apply our expertise through one of three Engagement Models. These examples illustrate how we move from theory to delivery—whether you need immediate 1-on-1 direction, a focused technical build, or long-term leadership.

  • A high-touch, 1-on-1 strategic assessment.

    Best for: Leaders needing a roadmap or individuals needing personal upskilling. The Concept: We start with a live assessment to benchmark your needs. Whether you are looking to monetize a data asset or simply automate a personal workflow, we identify the immediate opportunities. This is a direct, face-to-face intervention to reset your trajectory.

    Includes:

    • Digital Maturity Assessment

    • 90-Minute Strategy Session (1-on-1)

    • "Monday Morning" Toolkit (Customized prompts, tool recommendations, and next steps)

    Introductory Rate: $500

  • A defined project scope for technical or strategic discovery.

    Best for: Validating a specific concept or building a Proof of Concept.

    The Concept: A two-week rapid cycle to move from "Idea" to "Proof." Unlike the advisory work, this is a hands-on production sprint where we execute a specific deliverable:

      • Option A (Technical): We prototype a working agent or workflow automation.

      • Option B (Strategic): We execute a Data Audit to map out a monetization strategy and business case.

      • Includes: Workflow/Data Audit + Rapid Prototype (or Strategic Asset) + Implementation Roadmap.

    Engagements start at $2,500.

  • Fractional leadership and ongoing advisory.

    Best for: Long-term transformation and deep organizational integration.

    The Concept: I serve as your Fractional CAIO or Head of Product. This is not just consulting; it is embedded leadership. I integrate with your team to drive P&L strategy, oversee vendor selection, and ensure your data assets are generating enterprise value.

    Includes:

    • Weekly Strategy Syncs

    • Vendor Vetting & Technical Oversight

    • Leadership Coaching & Full Access

    Pricing TBD.
