AI transformation that shows up in your P&L.

We bring AI workflows already deployed in businesses like yours across industrials, business services, and multi-site consumer businesses. We audit your operation, identify the highest-value opportunities, and adapt proven workflows to your systems, processes, and data.

Our target: two weeks to audit the business, six weeks to the first deployment.

Will we need to replace our existing systems?

We start with the tools and processes your team already uses. The audit identifies where existing functionality is sufficient, where an integration would help, and whether any data preparation is needed.

What do we have at the end of the audit?

A prioritized AI roadmap for the business, with a business case, implementation estimate, owner, and success measures for each opportunity. You can use it to make investment decisions and establish the baseline for future investor reporting.

How do you work with us after launch?

We are your AI partner for the long term. After launch, we help your team adapt workflows, evaluate better models, and expand what AI can do across the business. We agree the ongoing support scope with you as part of implementation.

Who owns and supports what you build?

The portfolio company owns the custom deliverables defined in the engagement. We agree documentation, access, operating responsibility, third-party costs, and support arrangements before implementation.

Where does our team stay in control?

Buyers approve orders. Estimators retain pursuit and pricing decisions. Before launch, we agree which actions can run automatically and which require your team's approval.
