We build the next version of your company.
Most AI projects automate a process nobody follows, so people carry on as before. We start with the people doing the work, then build with your team, in the tools they already use.
How AI projects stall.
The same four patterns, whether this is your first attempt or your fourth.
- Buy the tools.
- A few enthusiasts get faster. The rest of the company does not change.
- Run a pilot.
- It stays a pilot.
- Hire consultants.
- They interview the dozen people management chose, then leave a deck for someone else to execute.
- Automate a process.
- The documented one. The real work carries on around it.
The problem was never the technology. Each of these starts from the documented process. The real one lives with the people doing the work, a level deeper than any company writes down.
We have run companies, not just projects.
Over the last decade we ran the operating side of private equity portfolio companies: engineering, customer support, operations, finance, and the software products behind them. In that world nobody pays you for the project. You are judged on a business number, over years, and you own the outcome.
That is how we build now. We come in as a team, take the problem on, and build for the number rather than the demo.
About usWe build it with your team, in your tools.
Not an outside team, not tickets over a wall. Our engineers work alongside the people who do the job, inside the systems they already use, and you own everything we build. We are still there after it ships, because software that nobody maintains stops being used.
We built a pricing agent that watches the market.
It reads market movements and macro data through the day and moves prices in real time, instead of waiting for the next review meeting.
We rebuilt a finance function so it runs itself.
Invoices in, matched, posted, chased. The back office end to end, with only the exceptions reaching a person.
We gave an investment team eyes on every position.
Fund positions watched continuously, with what changed and what it means pushed to the people who decide, rather than saved up for the quarterly pack.
How we find out how a company really runs.
Transcript is how we do it: a private AI conversation with every person in the company, not a dozen interviews management chose. It runs end to end, and it keeps running while we build, so what we learn in month three still lands.
Everyone talks.
A private conversation with every person, with follow-ups. Nobody reads what one person said, not their manager and not us.
One picture comes out.
It hears the whole company at once, so accounts that disagree get asked again. Every fact is checked back with the person who said it, never named to anyone else.
We go into it with you.
You ask your own questions and the picture answers, showing how many people described it and where. Then we agree what to build first.
Your processes.
How work actually flows, not how the org chart says it does. The spreadsheet, the phone call and the workaround included. Built from what everyone said, not one person's account.
Your people.
Who knows what, who holds things together, and where the work runs through one person. The quiet expert everyone asks, the approval that waits, the report only one person can produce.
Your risks.
What breaks if the wrong person leaves, and which handoffs have no second pair of hands. Named while you can still document the knowledge and train a second pair.
Your problems.
What your teams keep running into, counted across the company, so the thing several people mention separately stops looking like an isolated complaint. Named as a problem, never as a person.
Your AI reality.
How each department uses AI today, where it has taken hold and where it has not, so the next thing we build goes where the ground is ready.
Then you can ask it anything.
Why that process takes eleven days. Who really owns pricing. What a problem costs you. It answers from your own company and shows the evidence behind the answer: how many people described it, and where. Never who said what.

The first hundred days after buying a company: what the people who run it know that diligence did not
100-day plans get built from what management said in diligence. Hear everyone who runs the company in the first weeks and plan on how it really works.

Where should a mid-sized company start with AI so the budget is not wasted?
Most AI budgets fund the documented process nobody follows. Map how work actually gets done, rank problems by cost, then decide what to automate first.

How do you capture tribal knowledge before someone leaves?
Tribal knowledge is how the company actually runs, held by the people who run it. Why handovers fail, what works, and how to write it down before it walks out of the door.
