Make your AI transition valuable.

For companies of 20–500, we find where AI creates real value, build it with the best tool for the job, and keep it running — with evidence, not promises.

What we do for you

Three capabilities. One goal: make the AI transition valuable for your company — and honest about where it isn't.

01

Find where AI pays

A whole-business map of where AI raises productivity, expands capability, or gives you transparency into operations — and where it does none of those and should be refused. No vendor pitch: a written recommendation you can act on.

02

Build it with the best tool

The right tool for the job — our own, open source, or commercial. Hosted tools done right, or a deployed system on your hardware. You accept it mechanically, on your own questions, not ours.

03

Keep it running

A system that keeps working: updates, eval-on-change, patching, and a monthly written note on what broke and what changed — backed by an evidence discipline that catches what dashboards miss.

How we work

The architecture behind the capabilities — a repeatable method, not a one-off build.

Best tool for the job

Our own software exists to make delivery fast, not to anchor licenses. If open source or commercial SaaS is the right answer — ChatGPT or Claude included — we say so and use it.

Your stack, not ours

Your data, your hardware, your stack. Open-weight models do the work; cloud escalation is cost-controlled, not the default. We do not host your production.

Evidence discipline

Verify live, don't trust reports. Every claim — ours or an agent's — is checked against the running system before it counts. A status line is a claim; only a query against live state is a fact.

Built for failure

GitOps and infrastructure-as-code by default: declarative, versioned, reversible. Designed to degrade safely and recover in dependency order — because the outage that finds your gaps never schedules itself.

We prove it by running it

These capabilities aren't a proposal. We run this architecture ourselves, in production, every day — and the record is public.

The disaster-recovery plan of record is an agent with a recovery skill, not a human runbook — a runbook is useless if the person holding it is asleep.

How to engage

Three fixed offers, one default path.

01

Assess

$6,500 fixed

A whole-business opportunity map: where AI raises productivity, expands capability, or gives you transparency into operations — and where it does none of those and should be refused. Ends in a written recommendation: buy vs build vs SaaS vs private.

02

Build

$6k–55k, fixed scope

Light: hosted tools done right — policy, SSO, guardrails, real workflows, training. Standard: a deployed system on your hardware. Private stack: our estate pattern, scoped to your use case. Acceptance is mechanical, on your own questions.

03

Run

$3,500–5,000/mo

Updates, eval-on-change, patching, and a monthly written note on what broke and what changed. The retainer is the business — it is what keeps us on the hook, because we are.

Who you are hiring

  • Twenty years in automotive operations — the buyer's world, in the buyer's language.
  • Sole architect of the estate above. AI-directed development, verified against live state — and the failures are written down.
  • We do not host your production. Your hardware, your data, your stack.

First conversation: an email.
