What we do

We make your organization, humans and AI, work as one.

Every stage is quoted fixed-fee. No license, no subscription, and no per seat fee. What we build, you own, including if you decide to run it without us.

Full stack, by operators

We set the direction and we build to it. Both, from the same firm.

Most firms do one or the other. The strategy houses write the roadmap and hand it to somebody else. The build shops wait for a spec and never question it. We carry the whole path, at enterprise grade and at scale, which is why the number at the end is ours to defend.

  • Direction

    Decide where AI goes, and what it is worth.

    Your leadership team in a room and out with one view. Where AI goes first, what it is worth, who owns it, and the sequenced portfolio that follows. Every direction engagement ends with the first build scoped and priced.

  • Build

    Turn the direction into something that runs.

    Discover the trapped value and set the baseline, prove one workflow in your environment on your data, then scale the pattern across adjacent work and connect the systems behind it. Each stage earns the next.

What we work on

Leadership, the operating model, and the stack underneath it.

Value is the through line. It is set at the top, realized in the operating model, and enabled by the stack. Most AI programs fail at the human layer, so we fix the model first and then embed the technology, and we build with our own AI stack so a small team of experienced business and AI practitioners delivers more, faster, at lower cost than a bench of consultants.

Steer

Leadership and direction

Set the ambition, govern the portfolio, own the value.

Operate

The human and AI operating model

Redesign the work and how people and systems divide it.

Enable

Data, models and platform

The stack that makes the redesigned work possible.

Value
Direction

Deciding where AI goes, and what it is worth. This is where most AI programs are won or lost, long before anything gets built.

01

Executive Alignment & AI Direction

Days, not months. Fixed fee.

For a leadership team that is being asked about AI from every direction and does not yet have one answer. We design the session, hold the room, and get the team out of it aligned on ambition, priorities and who owns what.

What we do

  • Pre-work interviews across the leadership team, synthesized rather than summarized
  • A designed working session, with decisions on the agenda rather than slides
  • Ambition set in plain terms, including what you are deliberately not doing
  • Governance decided. Who approves, who owns, what needs a person

What you have at the end

  • One agreed view of where AI goes first and why
  • Named owners and a decision rights model
  • The value thesis stated in your own financial language
  • An operating cadence for reviewing it
Hands over an agreed ambition, where AI goes first, and who owns it.
02

Strategic Roadmap

Two to four weeks. Fixed fee.

The sequenced portfolio. Where to start, what follows, what each piece is worth, what it costs, what it depends on, and how the whole thing is governed. Built to survive contact with a board and a budget cycle.

What we do

  • Assess the operating model, the data and the systems as they actually are
  • Build the candidate portfolio and score it on value, feasibility and risk
  • Sequence it around dependencies, capacity and the security review path
  • Design the governance model and the measures that will report on it

What you have at the end

  • A sequenced roadmap with a value case per wave
  • The investment profile and the expected return, stated conservatively
  • A capability and readiness view, including what you should build in house
  • The governance model and the first pilot, scoped and priced
Hands over a sequenced portfolio with a value case per wave.

The roadmap is a portfolio, priced and sequenced, with the first pilot scoped. It is built to survive contact with a board and a budget cycle.

Build

Turning the direction into something that runs. It is deliberately staged so you are never approving more than the last stage earned, and so you see working output before the next invoice.

03

Value Discovery

Two to four weeks. Fixed fee.

For when you know AI should be doing something in the business and you need a defensible answer on what, where, and what it is worth. It ends with you seeing something working on your own data, not a demo on ours.

What we do

  • Map how work actually moves across systems, handoffs and manual touches
  • Working sessions with the people who hold the judgment, while they are here to correct us
  • Design the target architecture, the data model and the guardrails you set
  • Pull and agree the baseline measures before anything is built

What you have at the end

  • Target architecture and unified data model
  • A prioritized use case backlog, scored on value and feasibility
  • A working view built on your data structures
  • Agreed baseline measures, and the pilot scope with its fixed fee
Hands over a scored backlog and an agreed baseline.
04

Pilot Build

Four to eight weeks. Fixed fee.

One high value workflow proved end to end, in your environment, on your data, with a number at the end. It runs alongside the current process until it earns the right to replace it.

What we do

  • Stand up the secure environment with the audit trail and approval thresholds you set
  • Design the future state workflow with the people who do the work
  • Build it lean, inside your environment
  • A weekly working session to correct what the system gets wrong

What you have at the end

  • A working system in use, on your data
  • Measured movement against the baseline
  • A documented workflow your team operates
  • The scale scope, prioritized by what the pilot proved
Hands over a working system and a measured number.

Why it is ranked here
  • Broken promise, the rule the AR lead applied by hand
  • Balance above the call threshold you set
  • A person decides. The draft is ready to send or edit

One screen, every morning. Forecast, risk, priority and next action in one view, ranked on the rules we captured from the people who held them. The routine work is carried by software. A person decides on the accounts that need a conversation.

05

Scale & Integrate

Per wave. Sized from what the pilot proved.

Taking the proven pattern across adjacent work and connecting the systems behind it. Each wave is sized, built and measured exactly the way the pilot was.

What we do

  • Roll the pattern to the next workflows in value order
  • Connect the cross functional triggers across sales, operations, finance and service
  • Build integrations rather than buy middleware
  • Enablement and handover so your team runs it

What you have at the end

  • Connected workflows across your existing systems
  • A measured value trend, wave over wave
  • A repeatable pattern your team can apply to the next function
Hands over connected workflows across your systems, wave by wave.
06

Run & Govern

Ongoing, or hand it over.

Keeping it working, keeping it safe, and keeping it improving after the build is done. This is optional by design. Owning the asset means owning the option.

What we do

  • Monitoring, rule and model maintenance, and drift correction
  • Governance of the AI portfolio, access and audit
  • A standing backlog and the next wave when you are ready

What you have at the end

  • A quarterly value review against the original baseline
  • A system that stays current instead of decaying quietly
  • The option to take it fully in house whenever you want it
Ends with a system that stays current, or a clean handover.

The use case library

Examples of the work we build, grouped by the return they produce.

Each one is work people do by hand today, and the pattern underneath is the same. The judgment that makes it right sits with a few experienced people, and we document it into something the company owns and maintains. The marker shows where each example sits in the quote to cash flow.

Quote to plan

Order to fulfillment

Purchase orders classified, extracted from email, PDF and Excel, checked against codified rules, and posted to the ERP on one click behind a human review screen.

Buy

Procurement and expediting

Material and outside process POs, lead times and follow up tracked without someone chasing it by email every morning.

Make

Job status and inventory truth

Movement on the floor captured as it happens, so what the system says about WIP matches what is actually on the bench.

Certify to ship

Quality and compliance paperwork

First article reports, certificates of conformance and nonconformance write ups drafted from the job record instead of rebuilt by hand.

Invoice to cash

Cash and collections

What you will collect and when, what is at risk and why, and the highest value action to take next. Reminders, pre checks and invoice validation underneath it.

Cash

Close and margin visibility

The monthly close and the margin picture assembled from the systems that already hold the answer, so the number arrives while it is still useful.

Two capabilities that sit under all of it

  • Protected and governed build.

    Every engagement runs inside your environment or a tenancy you control, and we say up front which. Private models, guardrails you set, role based access, approval thresholds, a person in the loop where it matters, and a full audit trail on every automated action. Informed by NIST 800-171 and CMMC for defense work, AS9100 for quality records, and your own security policy wherever it is stricter. Your data never trains a public model, and that is a configuration and a contract you can audit.

  • Knowledge capture.

    The most valuable thing we do is get the undocumented rules out of people's heads and into something the company owns, with the person who holds them sitting next to us correcting the draft. It is worth doing before a retirement, a leave or an acquisition rather than after. The person who held the knowledge usually ends up owning the rules, which is a better job than the one they had.

How we price

Fixed fee, all inclusive, and you own what we build.

  • Fixed by stage.

    Every stage is quoted fixed and all inclusive. No hourly surprises and no change order theater.

  • Scoped from what we found.

    Each stage is priced from what the last one learned, so you are never buying a number we guessed at in a sales meeting.

  • No license, no subscription, no per seat fee.

    The environment, the models, the workflows and the documentation stay with you. Hosting, model usage and third party software costs are identified in the proposal.

  • One stage at a time.

    Only the first stage gets approved up front. Everything after it has to earn the approval.
