AI strategy for businesses
that need to ship results, not slides.
We partner with small and mid-size companies to design, pilot, and scale AI that pays for itself — without the platform vendor pitch deck or the year-long transformation program.
Why teams pick us
Senior operators, not a slide team.
Every engagement is led by a practitioner with three decades of experience shipping technology into real P&Ls. No bait-and-switch, no offshore handoff.
30+
Years of enterprise technology leadership
5–12 wks
From kickoff to first AI pilot in production
100%
Senior delivery — no juniors learning on your dime
What we do
Five ways we move the needle.
Mix and match. Start with a readiness assessment, end with a fractional leader embedded in your team.
Who we serve
Built for small and mid-size companies.
$1M–$250M in revenue. Lean teams. Ambitious leaders. The kind of company where the CEO still knows everyone's name.
Professional services
Legal, accounting, architecture, agencies — billable-hour businesses that need leverage from AI without sacrificing quality.
Operations-heavy SMBs
Manufacturers, logistics, distribution, healthcare back-office. We find the unglamorous workflows where automation actually pays.
PE-backed portfolios
When the value-creation plan says 'leverage AI' and the operating partner needs results in four quarters, not four years.
