Every engagement starts with a real conversation. If you are not sure which track fits, start with Discovery. That is what most new clients do, and it is often where the most valuable thinking happens.
Most companies know AI should be part of their operation. Few know exactly where, or how to get there without wasting six months building something nobody uses. We map the highest-leverage opportunities in your specific workflow, then build systems that your team actually adopts. Every engagement ends with working, deployed software — not a prototype, not a slide deck, not a proof-of-concept that requires three more phases to become useful.
We work across LLM-based workflows, document processing, internal tools, customer-facing automation, and data pipelines. We are not tied to any vendor stack. We pick what fits the problem.
This track is for people who have deep domain expertise and a real audience with a specific, unsolved problem — but do not have the engineering capacity to build a product for it. Instead of billing by the hour, we structure these as revenue-share arrangements. When the product succeeds, we succeed. That alignment changes everything about how the engagement runs.
We are selective. We take on one or two co-builds per year. We pass on ideas that are not genuinely differentiated, markets that are too small, or situations where the founder is not fully committed.
Early-stage companies often do not need a full-time CTO — they need someone who has been in the room before and can make the calls that matter: architecture decisions, the first technical hire, how to talk to investors about your stack, when to build vs. buy, how to run a vendor evaluation. We embed as that person on a monthly retainer.
This is a working role, not a consulting relationship. We attend your standups, review pull requests, run your engineering hiring process, and show up for investor meetings when the conversation turns technical.
Before you spend serious money building something, you need to know you are building the right thing. Discovery is a fixed-price, time-boxed engagement — usually two to three weeks — that produces a written scope, a technical architecture plan, a build-vs-buy analysis, and a phased roadmap with real cost estimates. You can take those deliverables and build with us, or take them to any team you choose.
Most of our ongoing client relationships started here. It is the right way to begin, and we designed it so you leave with something useful regardless of what comes next.
