AI & Automation
Put AI where it pays, and nowhere else.
- Timeline
- Assessment in 2 weeks; first pilot live in 4–8 weeks.
- Investment
- Assessments from $9,000. Pilot implementations from $25,000.
- Format
- A two-week assessment to find and size the opportunity, then a fixed-scope pilot on the highest-value workflow, then expansion only where the numbers justify it.
The case for it
The interesting question is no longer whether AI can do a task. It is which tasks are worth the accuracy risk, what the failure mode costs you, and whether the system stays correct once the volume is real and the inputs are messy.
We start from your operations, not from a model. We find the workflows where the economics are obvious, build the narrowest thing that captures them, and put an evaluation harness around it so quality is a number you can watch rather than a feeling. Where a deterministic script is the better answer, we say so and write the script.
You are probably here because
- A team spends hours a day moving information between systems by hand.
- Support, intake, or review volume grows faster than you can hire for it.
- You have run an AI pilot that demonstrated well and never made it to production.
- The board wants an AI story and you want one that survives due diligence.
What you receive
Artifacts, not impressions.
Everything below is a concrete thing that exists at the end of the engagement and belongs to you.
- 01
Opportunity map
Your workflows ranked by hours recovered, error cost, and implementation difficulty, including the ones we recommend leaving alone.
- 02
Production pilot
One workflow, built end to end, running against real data with a human in the loop where it belongs.
- 03
Evaluation harness
A test set, scored runs, and regression checks so a model or prompt change cannot silently degrade quality.
- 04
Operating guardrails
Cost ceilings, escalation paths, data handling rules, and the monitoring that tells you when to intervene.
The outcome
Measured hours or error rate removed from a real process, and an internal team that understands how to run it.
Next discipline
Fractional CTO
Senior technical judgment, without the seven-figure hire.
