FORWARD-DEPLOYED AI IMPLEMENTATION

WE SHIP AI THAT RUNS INSIDE YOUR OPERATIONS.

We don't hand you a strategy deck. Forward-deployed engineers embed in your team, build production AI inside your real tools, and stay until it works.

95% of AI pilots never change the business. We build the 5% that do — production systems inside your real tools, owned until they work.

HOW WE DEPLOY INTO THE WORK

THREE STEPS FROM MANUAL WORKFLOW TO DEPLOYED SYSTEM.

  1. 01

    Audit and map

    We inventory your workflows and rank them by leverage, feasibility, and risk, then hand back a costed deployment plan with ROI estimates.

  2. 02

    Embed and build

    A forward-deployed engineer works inside your tools, data, and approval paths, then ships one workflow end-to-end into real use.

  3. 03

    Instrument and expand

    Every deployed workflow is wired with monitoring and audit trails. We measure against the baseline, then ship the next one on evidence.

PROOF

WE SHIP OUTCOMES, NOT SLIDES.

Anonymized industry examples only — concrete operating patterns, no fake logos or unsupported numbers.

Cloud Intelligence

Enterprise cloud cost intelligence

Problem
Cloud spend was fragmented across accounts, services, teams, and ownership boundaries.
System built
Spend mapping, anomaly detection, ownership tracing, approval routing, and optimization workflows.
Intelligence extracted
Waste patterns, ownership gaps, idle infrastructure, approval bottlenecks, and high-impact optimization paths.
Operational outcome
Clearer accountability, better cost visibility, and a deployable cost-intelligence operating system.

Why teams call us

They've tried AI — seats, a copilot, a stalled pilot — and nothing changed how the business runs. We embed, ship one workflow into production, and stay until it sticks.

START HERE

START WITH A FREE 15-MINUTE FIT CALL.

Step 0 · Free fit call

Bring your most painful manual workflow. The first 15 minutes are a free triage call — no charge, no deck. We check whether AI is the right tool for it and whether we're the right team. If it's a fit, that call leads into the AI Workflow Audit below.

Book a free 15-min fit call

$0 · 15 minutes · no obligation. The audit is a separate, paid engagement.

Step 1 · The paid deliverable

The AI Workflow Audit is a fixed-scope ~1–2 week engagement that turns your workflows into a build-ready plan. Not a 15-minute call — a deliverable you keep:

  • A ranked shortlist of where AI pays off first
  • ROI estimate per workflow — hours, cost, cycle time
  • A staged build plan with integration points and controls
  • A first-sprint target, fixed scope

AI Workflow Audit

~1–2 weeks · credited

$5,000

$5,000 credited in full against your Build Sprint — you only ever pay it once.

If the audit shortlist isn't worth more than $5k to you, you don't pay.

Starts after the free fit call. Leads into a Build Sprint, Ops Retainer, or portfolio AI OS. See pricing
