How we work,
without the fog.
Most consultancies treat their process like a trade secret. We don't. This page is the actual playbook: what we do, what tools we use, what you get, and what it costs. If you don't like it, don't hire us.
Four deliverables.
Each one is a real artifact.
Not a slide. Not a dashboard. The kind of artifact you'd actually take into a board meeting or send to your CFO.
System map
Visual map of every tool, owner, and data flow in your business. We hand you the source SVG so you can keep editing it.
Opportunity matrix
10–20 use cases scored on impact × effort × readiness. We argue with each other before you see it so the picks survive scrutiny.
12-month roadmap (PDF)
Phased plan with budget envelopes, vendor recommendations, internal ownership, and 'definition of done' for each phase.
Walkthrough recording
60-minute recorded walkthrough. We answer your team's questions live. Recording is yours, share with stakeholders who couldn't join.
One strategist.
No 12-person teams.
Every audit is led by a single senior strategist who has actually shipped AI systems in the wild. They run interviews, do the analysis, write the roadmap, and present it. No handoffs to junior associates after kickoff.
We pull in additional bench depth (engineers, designers, vertical specialists) only when it makes the deliverable better, never to inflate the invoice.
Communication runs on a private Slack channel. Most days you'll get one thoughtful message; some weeks you'll get five. We don't do "hopping on a quick call" for things a paragraph could resolve.
The boring stack
that actually ships.
We have opinions but not religion. Roughly: Claude for reasoning, OpenAI for embeddings, no-code glue when it's enough, custom builds when it isn't.
| Tool | Where it earns its keep |
|---|---|
| OpenAI (GPT-4o) | Reasoning, drafting, multi-step agents |
| OpenAI embeddings | Semantic search and RAG retrieval |
| n8n / Zapier | Glue between SaaS tools when no-code is enough |
| LlamaIndex / Pinecone | RAG for knowledge bases |
| Cloudflare Workers | Where most of our backends actually run |
| Stripe | Payments, checkout, escrow (Connect for marketplace) |
