Accepting Q3 engagements
SMB · AI · TURNKEY

AI for businesses that
don't have a tech team.

We're the firm small and mid-sized business owners call when the demos are over and Monday morning still looks the same. We find where AI saves you hours, build the system that does it, and train your team to actually use it.

02 · The Gap

Everyone's selling you AI.
Almost no owner is feeling it yet.

The tools are extraordinary. The vendors are loud. But for a 500-person manufacturer, a 12-location franchise, or a clinic with three admins — the path from "we should use this" to a system that actually saves you hours and pays for itself stays painfully blank.

03 · Method

Four engagements. One quiet operating system behind your business.

We don't sell "AI." We sell four well-defined engagements, each with a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a fixed deliverable. Pick one, pick all four — the constellation is the same.

01 — AI AUDIT

AI Audit

A two-week deep dive into where AI saves you the most hours and money — and, just as honestly, where it won't. You leave with a ranked, priced roadmap, not a hypothetical.

02 — AUTOMATION

Automation

We rebuild the boring middle of your operation — quote-to-cash, intake, scheduling, reconciliation — as quiet software that runs while you sleep so your team gets their week back.

03 — CUSTOM AGENTS

Custom Agents

Purpose-built agents trained on your data and your voice. They answer customers, draft replies, summarize calls, and hand off to a human the moment they should.

04 — TEAM TRAINING

Team Training

Half-day workshops that turn your team from skeptics into power users. Practical, hands-on, no jargon. We measure adoption, not attendance.

The work, not the slideware.

Three small businesses, three different shapes. Numbers are first-year actuals, not pilots.

06 · Answers

Things owners actually ask us.

01
Are we too small for this?
If you have ten employees and a real operation, you're not too small. Our smallest engagement is a two-week audit. If we can't find ROI, we say so and you walk.
+
02
Do we need clean data first?
No. Almost no SMB has clean data and that's fine. We meet you in the mess — most of our automation work involves cleaning as we go.
+
03
Will our data leave the building?
Only with your written sign-off. Default posture is: your model, your tenant, your keys. We've never moved a client to a shared inference setup.
+
04
How long until we feel it?
Most engagements deliver the first hour saved in four to six weeks. The audit roadmap is in your hands inside two.
+
05
How is this different from hiring a freelancer?
A freelancer hands you code. We hand you the system around it — adoption, ops handoff, fallback paths, and the boring training that makes it stick on a Tuesday at 4pm.

Ready when you are.

A 30-minute call. No deck. We ask what's broken, you ask what's possible, and we both leave knowing whether there's a fit.
