the offering
Advisory
We sit between your executives and your IT department.
Your executives want more of this. Your IT department does not want the exposure. Every engagement is fixed-price and ends in something you keep.
Your problem
a one-page memo per problem, a ranked shortlist, and a fixed quote for the next step, or a no.
§2What the work is.
Three rungs, each priced up front.
A Working Session
Bring every problem on your list. The session is fixed-price, and every problem gets a written verdict.
An AI Operating Sprint
Five working days. Your team runs real work through AI on your own data and leaves operating it.
A retainer
The same people, month after month, so the knowledge stays when a person leaves.
Someone in your company gets real work out of Claude Code right now. The probable cause is the same every time: the work crossed from personal use to company use, and the controls did not cross with it.
what we usually find
The conditions we arrive at:
Thirty-eight Power BI workspaces and no one agrees what gross margin means.
Forty-five agents querying in thirty-seven ways through personal keys, none of it logged.
The prototype mostly works, and it runs on a laptop with credentials in a config file.
Nobody can produce the list of AI tools when counsel asks.
§3What you build it over.
Before you build an app, you build the layer underneath.
we bring: built and running
we build with you: it only exists in your company
Both are AI infrastructure for your organization. See the full layer breakdown →
§4Guardrails.
Nothing runs until you have watched it work and said go. Every call is written to an audit log your auditor can read, and a named owner takes the 2 a.m. call.
Don't turn these tools loose on production. First question, before anything runs: does gross margin mean the same thing in your BI tool and in the model?
§5Retainers.

The 70 percent trap
The builder loves it, it mostly works, and every one-off feature makes it harder to replace. Our one question: would a new hire choose this tool? If no, the prototype still did its job. It told you what to build for real.
The Worst-Week Floor
A Sprint week can go sideways: fire drills, missing data, the champion out sick. Whatever happens, you keep the spec, the signed controls, and the practice. In writing.
Bring us a problem worth solving
Start with a Working Session. It ends in a verdict you can act on.
