For companies $5M to $500M

95% of AI projects go nowhere.
We build the other 5%.

We automate the busywork in your business and fix the AI projects that let you down. Working software in two weeks. Prices published on this page. You never pay the final 25% until it runs, and you own everything we build.

One playbook across the mid-market. The workflows differ; the busywork problem is the same.

Why this firm exists

Driven by production. Priced for the mid-market.

95%

of GenAI pilots show no P&L impact (MIT NANDA). We exist for the other 5%.

3-10x

how far buyers underestimate production AI cost (Greenice).

73%

of small businesses want more AI implementation help (Goldman Sachs 10KSB).

Too small for the enterprise firms. Too big to gamble your operations on a $500 gig. That is who we built this for. We find the highest-value opportunity in your business, prove it with working software, and build it out with a before-and-after number attached.

Two ways to start

Which one sounds like you?

Same two-week diagnostic. Same fixed price. Different door.

What we sell

Real prices, published

No hourly billing anywhere on this list. Every engagement is fixed price, ends with software you own, and produces a measured number. Multi-entity organizations and companies over 500 employees are scoped individually.

Step 01

AI Opportunity Audit

From $4,500

Typically $4,500-$7,500 fixed. 2 weeks.

We interview everyone who touches the workflow, map how the work actually moves, and score every opportunity by ROI and feasibility. You get a ranked roadmap and a working proof of concept, not a slide deck. 100% of the fee credits against a pilot signed within 90 days.

About the audit

Step 02

Pilot Build

From $15,000

Typically $15,000-$40,000 fixed scope. 4-8 weeks.

One workflow automated end to end, picked from the audit roadmap. Success metric agreed in writing before we start. Milestone billing: 50/25/25.

How pilots work

Step 03

AI Operations Retainer

From $3,000/mo

Typically $3,000-$10,000/month. Month-to-month.

We own what we built: monitoring, maintenance, updates, and small extensions, with a quarterly roadmap review. New workflows are fixed-price builds at preferred retainer rates. No lock-in. Cancel any month.

Something smaller? Quick Builds handle the simple stuff: a website chatbot, one automated task. $2,500 to $7,500 fixed, done in a week or two, same ownership terms. Start with the free teardown and we will tell you which size your project is.

Why us

Five things a cheap build does not include

Each one is a documented failure mode in this market.

01

Accountability after handoff

Most AI projects fail at handoff, not in the build: upstream tools change and nobody owns the system. Our retainer includes ownership, defined support windows, and a named accountable person.

02

Production reliability engineering

At 95% per-step reliability, a 20-step agent workflow succeeds 35.8% of the time. Gartner predicts more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027. We build checkpoints, retries, approval gates, and monitoring.

03

Security and compliance

Veracode found roughly half of AI-generated code carries security flaws. Air Canada was legally bound by a refund policy its chatbot invented. We design for security review, audit trails, and compliance from day one, not as an afterthought.

04

Process mapping before code

A $500 gig cannot discover that your process lives in one person's muscle memory and your data is split across four systems. That discovery is the audit, and it is why our builds survive contact with reality.

05

An outcome owner, not a task completer

The person who can write a Python script is rarely the person who can deploy and maintain a production service. You are buying the second person.

Straight answer

Big or small, we quote it straight

Need something simple, like a website chatbot or one automated task? We do those too. Quick Builds run $2,500 to $7,500 fixed, done in a week or two, built to the same standard as everything else we ship. Your free teardown tells you which size your project actually is.

When it touches your customers, your money, or more than one of your systems, hire us. That work hurts when it breaks. The $2,000 version turns into a $20,000 problem, and we price the whole problem up front. Fixed.
