No delegation
The person on the strategy call is the same person writing the code. No handoffs to junior staff you have never met.
Technical depth + business context
We can architect a system and explain why it matters to your business. Strategy and engineering from the same person.
Production experience, not proofs of concept
A decade of shipping AI systems that run in the real world. We build things that work after the demo is over.
How We Work
Three ways to engage, depending on where you are.
Opportunity Assessment
Figure out where AI fits
We assess your data, processes, and goals to identify the AI use cases worth pursuing. You walk away with a prioritized roadmap and clear build-vs-buy recommendations.
Typical deliverables
Use case prioritization · Data readiness assessment · Tech stack recommendation · Implementation roadmap
Development & Implementation
Go from idea to working system
We design the architecture, build a working system, set up evaluation and monitoring, and deploy to production. LLM applications, agent workflows, data pipelines, evaluation harnesses.
Typical deliverables
System architecture · Working prototype · Evaluation harness · Deployment setup · Handoff documentation
Fractional CAIO
Senior AI expertise without a full-time hire
We embed with your team to provide ongoing technical leadership. Production monitoring, evaluation reviews, architectural guidance, and team mentoring.
Typical deliverables
Production oversight · Quality reviews · Team coaching · Architectural guidance · Incident support
