We put AI to work inside the systems that run your business, and we modernize what’s in the way.
For mid-market dealers, distributors, and operations companies, the systems that run the business are often old, homegrown, or barely documented. Commissions, quoting, order entry, inventory, dispatch. That’s no side issue. It’s the reason AI keeps failing to land.
So we do both as one motion. We modernize the operational systems until they can carry AI, then put it to work where it reaches real data and real workflows.
Modernization isn’t the consolation prize when AI is too hard. It’s how AI becomes possible.
You don’t have to want AI in your product.
Some of our clients have no plans to put AI in front of a customer or inside a workflow. That’s fine. For them, AI is our tool, not their feature. Our AI-based development workflows are proven, and they’re the reason our fixed price can land where traditional quotes can’t. Our last platform rebuild shipped at less than half of what traditional partners bid. We deliver the system modern and AI-ready. Whether you ever flip that switch is up to you.
AI that reaches the operation, not just the demo.
Most AI work stops at a prototype that never survives contact with the system running the business. We work from the system of record outward. Understand the operation, find where AI can pay off, modernize whatever blocks it, and build the capability into the workflow.
When we build, we build for production, not for a slide. Every step is fixed-price and principal-led.
Built and run by some of the sharpest minds in the field.
The people who assess your operation and build your systems are among the most capable practitioners in tech. Rare expertise, not a bench of juniors with a senior name on the invoice.
We can teach our methods. We cannot manufacture that judgment, and we won’t dilute it by taking on more than we can personally lead. So we run a limited number of engagements at a time, and every assessment is by application. We take on the companies we know we can move, and we tell you honestly when that isn’t us.
If you get in, you’re getting the real thing.
A real diagnosis. Not a questionnaire and a templated report.
We work from evidence, score it with our own rubric, and write findings for your operation. The scorecard beside this is a real output of exactly that method.
Pillars
We evaluate across the dimensions that determine whether AI can succeed in your operation.
Evidence, not opinions
Tools, scripts, and programs that inspect your systems and data directly, plus structured Q&A.
Proprietary scoring
Our own scoring algorithms. Measured and defensible, not a gut-feel grade.
Hand-crafted recommendations
Written by hand and tailored to how you operate. Never templated.
You apply. We match you to the right assessment.
You don’t pick an assessment off a shelf. You apply. We determine whether you’re a match and, if you are, which of our assessments fits how you operate.
AI Opportunity & Readiness Assessment
We find the one or two highest-value AI opportunities in your operation and prove whether your systems and data can support them. You leave with a sequenced roadmap and a fixed-price proposal for the first step.
AI-DLC Maturity Assessment
We locate you on the Carbon Scale across seven pillars, from governance and data protection to cost, observability, and delivery workflow. You get a risk register, a peer benchmark, a sequenced roadmap, and a board-ready readout.
More assessments coming
Industry- and use-case-specific assessments, added as we build them. Your application tells us which fits. You never have to choose off a menu.
Fixed price at every step. Each step earns the next.
Nothing downstream is priced until an assessment has de-risked it. You climb only as far as the work requires.
Assessment The paid front door
Highest-value opportunities found, systems proven or disproven, a sequenced roadmap plus a fixed-price proposal for the first step, yours to keep either way.
Pilot
One workflow taken to production, with the system work to support it. Think automated quoting, commission exception handling, or order-entry automation. Working software by week 3, not a status deck.
Program
When the system itself is the obstacle: staged modernization with AI built in, priced by milestone, never by the hour.
Stewardship
Managed evolution of what we built: enhancements, monitoring, AI-capability upgrades, quarterly roadmap review.
How we change a system no one fully understands.
The thing standing between a mid-market operation and real change is almost never the technology. It’s that the system running the business was never fully documented, never really maintained, and no one left can account for all of what it does. Everything below follows from that.
Archaeology
Read the system as it actually runs, not as it was documented.
Documentation
Write down what was never written down.
Test harness
Changes become provable and reversible.
Incremental modernization
Controlled steps, never a big-bang rewrite.
AI-capability layer
AI working on real data, inside real workflows.
The first three steps produce a documented, tested system that is yours to keep, whether we do the modernization or you do.
Fixed price. Rare expertise. Shipped.
Fixed price, never hourly
You keep the certainty and we keep the productivity gains. No meter, no AI discount to argue over.
Rare expertise, on your actual work
The people who diagnose the problem are among the best in the field, and they’re the ones accountable for solving it. No handoff to juniors.
Production, not theater
The test of every engagement is working software in your operation. It’s the standard the firm is named for.
Think you’re a fit? The assessment is where it starts.
Tell us about your operation and we’ll tell you, honestly, whether there’s real work here worth doing.
