Intelligence 01
AI & Automation
Put AI to work on the processes that actually cost you money.
Typical6–14 weeks

We start with the workflow, not the model. Document processing, support triage, internal search, reporting — we find where an assistant or agent removes real hours, then ship it with evaluation, guardrails and a human in the loop.

Typical duration6–14 weeks
Team shape1 lead · 2 engineers
OutcomeHours removed from a process you can name.
Scope your AI & Automation project

Capabilities · 6

  1. Opportunity assessment & ROI modeling
  2. Retrieval-augmented assistants over your own data
  3. Agentic workflows and back-office automation
  4. LLM integration into existing products
  5. Evaluation harnesses, guardrails and cost ceilings
  6. Private, US-region and on-prem deployment
Intelligence 02
Data & AnalyticsNew
One version of the numbers, and pipelines that keep it true.
Typical8–16 weeks

Most AI projects stall because the data underneath isn't ready. We build the warehouse, the pipelines and the reporting layer first — so the answer to a question is the same no matter who asks it.

Typical duration8–16 weeks
Team shape1 lead · 2 engineers
OutcomeOne number, agreed on, refreshed automatically.
Scope your Data & Analytics project

  6. Migration off spreadsheet reporting
Build 01
Product & Experience Design
Research, interface design and a system your engineers can build.
Typical4–10 weeks

Design that ships. We work in the same repository as the build team, hand over tokens and components rather than flat images, and test flows with real users before the expensive part starts.

Typical duration4–10 weeks
Team shape1 designer · 1 researcher
OutcomeA design system, not a folder of screenshots.
Scope your Product & Experience Design project

Capabilities · 6

  1. Discovery research and user interviews

Software Engineering
Web platforms, portals and dashboards built to be maintained.
Typical10–26 weeks

From marketing sites to operational dashboards and customer portals. We work in TypeScript, React and .NET, with automated tests and CI from day one — so year two of ownership costs less than year one.

Typical duration10–26 weeks
Team shape1 lead · 2–4 engineers

Integration & API Engineering
Make the systems you already own talk to each other.
Typical6–14 weeks

ERP, CRM, finance, warehouse and marketplace systems that were never designed to meet. We build the integration layer — with retries, idempotency and monitoring — so a failed sync raises an alert instead of a customer complaint.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

The things prospective clients ask us most often.

Ask us something else

01How do we start working together?

Every engagement starts with a two-week, fixed-fee discovery. We map your systems and priorities and return a written findings document with a costed, prioritized roadmap. You keep that document whether or not you continue with us.

02Do you work with businesses that have no in-house IT team?

Frequently. For those clients we act as the technology function — advisory, delivery and ongoing support under one agreement, with a named lead you can call.

03Can you help with SOC 2, HIPAA or CMMC?

Yes. Our Compliance & Governance practice prepares teams for SOC 2 Type I and II, HIPAA Security Rule assessments, and CMMC 2.0 / NIST SP 800-171. We work alongside your chosen auditor or assessor — we don't issue the attestation ourselves, which keeps the audit independent.

04Where is our data hosted?

In US cloud regions by default, in accounts you own. If you have residency or contractual requirements, we design around them from the start.

05Can you take over a project someone else started?

Yes. We begin with a short technical audit to establish what's salvageable and what isn't, then give you an honest recommendation — including when the answer is to rewrite.

06What does ongoing support cost?

Support is a monthly retainer sized to your platform and the response times you need. It's scoped during discovery, billed in USD, and reviewed every quarter so you're never paying for capacity you don't use.

Next step

Not sure where to start? Start with a discovery.

A two-week, fixed-fee discovery. You get a written findings document and a costed roadmap — and you keep it whether or not you work with us.
