Why fractional

You need the skills. You don't need a full-time seat.

Most small businesses have real data and AI work to do, just not 40 hours a week of it. The usual options weren't built for that.

A full-time hire

A senior data scientist or AI engineer is a big, long-term commitment, and most small businesses can't keep one busy every week.

An agency

Often built for bigger clients and bigger budgets, and the person who sells the project isn't always the one who builds it.

Doing it yourself

Software you barely use, spreadsheets nobody trusts, and evenings spent on work that could run on its own.

Services

One expert. Five ways to put data and AI to work.

Hire us for one, or have one person own all five. We start with features you already pay for, connect the tools you use, and build custom only where a real gap remains.

The fractional bundle

All five, from one person who knows your business.

Fixed-price projects to start, then month-to-month support or a set number of hours each month if you want ongoing help.

How it works

We start with work you can check.

Every new system begins with a person reviewing its output. We judge each workflow by what it can change, who it affects, and how easily a mistake is caught and undone. Where you start depends on your most valuable problem, not a fixed sequence.

  1. Review first

    We prepare, you check

    Invoices, reports, forecasts, and reconciliations are drafted and flagged for your review before anything is sent, posted, or acted on.

  2. Approve to send

    Drafts you approve

    Follow-ups, customer replies, and price changes are drafted for you. Nothing goes out until you say so.

  3. Runs with checks

    Routine work on its own

    Once something has proven reliable, it can run on its own, with monitoring that alerts us if it stops or behaves unexpectedly.

Quick check

What's eating your week?

Tap everything that sounds familiar, from paperwork to numbers you wish you had. Your list comes with your audit request, so the first call starts with what actually matters to you.

What it looks like

First projects, fitted to how you already work.

Each first project covers one workflow, with a fixed price and written scope. These are illustrative examples of typical projects, not client results.

Illustrative exampleFor home services

The Monday numbers

The problem

Revenue looks fine, but cash is always tight, and the numbers live in QuickBooks, the job software, and three spreadsheets.

What we build

A one-page owner's report every Monday, plus a 13-week cash forecast that flags tight weeks while there's still time to act.

Review firstTypically 2 to 4 weeks
Illustrative exampleFor restaurants

The catering inquiry desk

The problem

Catering requests arrive by phone, email, and Instagram during the dinner rush. Some wait days for a reply, and some never get one.

What we build

Every inquiry gathered in one place, a draft reply with menu options and pricing ready to approve, a follow-up if the customer goes quiet, and a review request after the event.

Approve to sendTypically about 30 days
Illustrative exampleFor auto repair shops

End-of-day autopilot

The problem

Techs jot notes on paper and text photos. The owner rebuilds them into invoices at night, and parts receipts pile up on the counter.

What we build

Tech notes turned into invoice drafts, parts receipts logged from photos, and a daily summary of what's billed and what's still open.

Review firstTypically 2 to 3 weeks
Who we help

Built for businesses that run on people, not paperwork.

Auto repair shopsIndependent shops and small chains

Tech notes turned into invoices, service reminders for past customers, and parts receipts logged automatically.

A clear first step before you spend a dollar.

A short call, nothing touched in your business, and a straight answer on the one workflow most worth fixing. Sometimes that means a feature you already pay for. If nothing is worth it, we'll say so.

  1. A 20-minute fit callHow often the problem happens, what it costs you, which systems hold the information, and who would help put a fix in place.
  2. One real exampleA redacted invoice, report, sales export, or email thread shows us more than a description can.
  3. A one-page recommendationThe best first step, the assumptions behind its value, and a fixed price and scope if you want us to build it.

Zuhair Allahrakha, founder

About

Hi, I'm Zuhair. You'll work directly with me.

I've spent more than seven years working with Florida businesses across call centers, sales, hospitality, banking and lending, healthcare, restaurants, contracting, and insurance. Most of that time I've been building AI and machine learning systems: lending decision engines, pricing models, and automated agents that now handle work people used to do by hand.

Big companies have data scientists and AI engineers on staff. Small businesses usually get platforms that take a cut and software that doesn't fit. I started Rizq Labs to be that expert for businesses that don't need one full time, without the lock-in.

I'm personally involved in and accountable for every project. I'm based in South Florida, and outside of work you'll usually find me on a pickleball court or out on a long run.

Results from my previous roles

  • 90% fasterOffer generation at a lender funding $400M+ a year. I rebuilt the company's decision engine; funded volume also rose 17% and defaults fell 8%.
  • $14MIn new funded volume from a framework I built that let the company safely serve a customer segment it had been turning away.
  • +13%Revenue, with 7% less spoilage, after I rebuilt a pricing model for a global hospitality brand.

These are outcomes at previous employers, in different industries, not results for small-business clients. They show the kind of work I do: finding where time and money leak, and building systems people actually use.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does “fractional” mean?

You get a senior data scientist and AI engineer for the work you actually have, instead of a full-time hire. That usually means one fixed-price project to start, then, if you want it, month-to-month support or a set number of hours each month. More on how fractional works.

Do you only do automation?

No. Automation is often the quickest win, but the same person also builds dashboards, forecasts, and pricing analysis, and puts revenue changes like a price adjustment or a win-back campaign into practice, one measurable change at a time. More on customer growth.

What does it cost?

The audit is free. After that, we tailor the work to what your business needs and wants: a single project, ongoing month-to-month support, fractional help each month, or a mix. You get a fixed price and written scope before any work starts, and software subscriptions are billed to you directly by the vendor.

Do I need to buy new software?

Usually not. We start with features in the software you already pay for, then connect your existing tools. Your team may need a little training, like how to review drafts, and we include that. If something new would genuinely help, we'll explain why and what it costs before anything changes.

What if the AI makes a mistake?

Mistakes can happen, so every new system starts with a person reviewing its output before it's sent or posted. Uncertain items are flagged rather than guessed. We monitor closely in the first weeks, and nothing runs on its own until it has proven reliable and you're comfortable.

Who owns the systems and my data?

Your data and accounts are yours, and software subscriptions are set up in your business's name. The workflows we build for you stay with your business, with documentation, if you stop working with us.

How long until something is running?

Most first projects take two to four weeks, depending on your systems and how quickly we get access and feedback. You'll get a timeline and clear acceptance criteria in your scope.

Am I locked into a contract?

No long-term commitment. Each project has a written scope, and ongoing support is month to month, so you can stop anytime.
