We're strategy, operations, and technology practitioners who use and implement AI to solve real operating problems. We step inside your business, build what works, and leave your team able to run it.

We start with the business problem, not the technology. AI is one of the tools we use, applied where it pays for itself.
Finance, billing, reporting, and marketing processes that eat staff time or outsourced spend. We redesign the workflow, automate it where it pays, and hand it to your team to run.
Growth has outpaced your cadence, KPIs, and accountability. We step in as fractional COO or Chief of Staff and build the operating model that turns strategy into results.
Pipeline, pursuits, and sales materials that aren't converting. We sharpen your BD strategy and qualification, then build the pitches, collateral, and forecasts your team keeps using.
We work both sides of M&A, PE, and VC deals: pre-deal planning and diligence for acquirers and investors, valuation readiness for targets, and the right level of integration through day 100.
The discipline of a global consultancy, without the pyramid. You work directly with senior practitioners from day one.
A focused assessment of where value is being lost and what it will take to capture it, in weeks, not months.
We work inside your organization alongside your leaders and implement the solution, rather than handing over recommendations.
Your team takes ownership of the workflows, playbooks, and know-how to run it after we step back.
Diagnose→Embed→Transfer. We don't stop at recommendations.
Practical AI that pays for itself: real workflows, measurable economics, running in production, and owned by the client's team.
Law firm · Finance operations
Automated a law firm's cash-receipts and bank-reconciliation process, replacing a $2,500/month outsourced accounting workflow. We implemented the solution and enabled the firm's accounting team to run it internally, reducing cost and processing time while giving more timely visibility into cash.
PE-backed professional services
Built an AI-enabled workflow that matches incoming customer payments to outstanding invoices, including complex payments covering multiple invoices that were hard to reconcile manually. It also tracks PO utilization, remaining balances, and engagement margins in real time, updating financials automatically as payments are processed.
Technology company · Marketing
Built an AI-enabled workflow for a technology company that turns ideas into on-brand posts and marketing content. It cut the cycle from draft to published by 80% and automated work previously handled by an outsourced marketing resource.
Commercial enablement
We trained an AI-enabled delivery workflow on our library of past consulting deliverables, then used it to build forecasting models, pitch decks, and sales collateral templates for a client. Consulting-grade work, delivered directly to the client in a fraction of the usual time, with templates their team keeps reusing.
