Advisory

We sit between your executives and your IT department.

One side wants more of this. The other does not want the exposure. Every engagement has a name, a fixed price, and an end product: a verdict memo, a working prototype, or a spec ForgeWorks can build.

What the work is

Three rungs, each priced up front.

A Working Session ends in a verdict memo. The verdict scopes a Sprint, which ends in a working prototype you own. A retainer keeps the same people on it, month after month.1Working Sessionone of four verdictsends in a verdict memothe work carries forward2AI Operating Sprintfive days, your data, you own itends in a working prototypethe work carries forward3A retainerthe knowledge staysthe same people, monthly
Every engagement has a name, a fixed price, and an end product. The verdict from one step scopes the next.

A Working Session

Bring every problem on your list. One structured session, one fixed price, verdict within three weeks.

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.

What you build it over

Before you build an app, you build the layer underneath.

Guardrails

Nothing acts until you have watched it work and said go. Every call lands in an audit log your auditor can read. A named owner gets the 2 a.m. call, written down before anything runs.

Don't turn these tools loose on your production environment. And before anything runs: does gross margin mean the same thing in your BI tool and in the model?

A self-built tool with a heart on it: loved by its builder, harder to replace with every one-off feature.

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.

A jagged line for a week that goes sideways, sitting above a solid floor: the spec, the signed controls, and the practice you keep.in writing

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, and the verdict names the next step if there is one worth doing.
