Work with us

Let's find your first few.

The first step is small and low-risk: a 90-minute working session that ends with a shortlist of the projects we'd build first. No long proposal, no commitment to a big program. Here's how it works, and who we do our best work with.

The right fit

Who we do our best work with.

We work best with growing companies that make or sell something real — big enough to have genuine operations and real stakes, but without an AI team to lean on. If your people are already using AI in scattered, unsanctioned ways, and you know there's value in it but not where to start, that's exactly the spot we're built for.

You'll get the most from us if:

  • you have real revenue and real problems
  • decisions don't take six months
  • you want to build lasting capability, not just buy another tool

We might not be your fit yet if:

  • you're very early stage or a solo operator
  • you already have a strong in-house technical team driving this

No hard feelings — reach out when the timing's right.

The engagement

What working together looks like.

We pinpoint the handful of projects that will move a real number, build them with your team, train your people to run them, and improve as the technology and your business change. You choose how long we stay, from a single build-and-leave engagement to fully run-for-you. Most companies start with one project.

The first step

A 90-minute working session.

A working conversation with our senior team. Not a pitch, not a maturity audit. No prep, and no jargon required. We dig into how your business runs and where a focused project would move a real number.

You walk away with:

  • The two or three projects we'd build first
  • What each one will move, and how we'd measure it
  • What it realistically takes to build
  • Yours to keep and act on, with us or without us

Not a report that sits in a drawer. A plan you could start building Monday.

Common questions

Questions you're probably asking.

We don't have anyone technical. Can we even do this?

Yes. That's exactly who we build for. We can host and run the systems for you, so a lack of in-house technical muscle never becomes the thing that stalls you.

Are we locked into a long contract?

No. You choose how long we stay. Most companies start with a single project and decide from there.

We've already bought some AI tools. Is it too late?

No. We often start by making what you already have actually work, and putting some governance around the sprawl, before building anything new.

How quickly will we see something?

We aim for a first working project in weeks, not quarters.

What does it cost?

It depends on the projects, which is the whole point of the session. You'll leave knowing what each one would take before you commit to anything.

What if we just want the shortlist and don't hire you?

Then you keep the shortlist and run with it. It's yours either way.

Tell us where it hurts. We'll show you what we'd build.

Fill in what you can. The more context you give us, the more useful the session will be.
