AI Operating Partner · How we work
Find the AI that pays off. Build it. Keep it working.
One framework, built around your business: we find where AI actually pays off, build it into the tools your team already uses, and tune it as you grow.
One process. Find, Implement, Tune.
We find the few places AI would actually save you time or money, build them into how your team already works, and keep them running: the follow-up that sends itself, the report that rebuilds on its own, the data nobody retypes.
Find where AI actually pays off.
We map the operation, cut the AI noise down to what's real for your business, and rank every opportunity by payoff against effort, with a build-vs-buy call on each.
Three high-leverage opportunities or you don't pay.
Build it, ship it, into how you work.
We build the systems the map ranked and put them into production on the tools you already use, documented and owned by you from day one.
Run it, keep it working, refine.
We run what we built and keep it working as the tools and the business change, staying on as the AI function you're too small to hire. The person you ask before you buy a tool.
Five offerings. Start with one.
Builds, Consulting, Fractional CTO, Training, and Agents. You don't need all five. Most teams start with the one costing them the most time or money, and it pays its own way before there's any talk of the rest.
Custom automation, shipped.
You see exactly what you're getting before any code is written: we map the workflow, find the break points, and spec the build in writing for you to approve. Nothing ships until you've signed off.
- Integrations between systems your team is manually bridging
- Reporting pipelines that refresh themselves
- Document and data automation from your existing records
- Workflow automation for recurring ops tasks
- API wrappers and lightweight internal tools
Sharp opinion, in writing.
Workflow audits, vendor pressure tests, roadmap reviews, and AI strategy that ends in a clear recommendation. For the decision you can't easily undo: a vendor commitment, an AI roadmap, a build-versus-buy call. We map the situation and give you a written recommendation with a clear rationale before you spend the money.
Ongoing AI leadership, monthly.
A dedicated AI and automation leader embedded in your team, month to month. We own the roadmap, attend standups, and make decisions. You get senior technical judgment without the full-time hire, and the engagement ends when it stops earning its cost.
Adoption that actually sticks.
Workshops, cohort programs, and hands-on coaching for the tools your team already owns. We build the workflow first, then fit the tool to it. The metric that matters is whether people are still using it in month three.
Custom and productized AI agents.
Purpose-built agents for your specific workflows, or pull from our growing library of pre-built agents that ship in days. These handle repeatable work end to end and escalate only when a decision genuinely requires a human.
