The Problem Assessment How We Work What We Build Free Workshop → Book a Free Workshop
Since 2007 · Birmingham, Alabama

AI that lives in your systems,
not just in the demo.

Most AI projects look great in a presentation and fall apart in production. We build AI that works with your actual data, inside your actual systems, for your actual team.

No Pilots That Die in StagingBuilt for production from day one.
Security & Compliance Built InNot bolted on after the fact.
Measurable Business ResultsWe track outcomes, not activity.
The Real Problem

Your budget and credibility are on the line. Don't commit without clarity.

Your team is fielding AI pitches faster than you can evaluate them. You don't need another demo.

You need a structured answer grounded in how your business actually operates — what's ready, what's not, and where the real leverage is.

Before any AI initiative begins, you need answers to:

Is our data actually ready?

Siloed, inconsistent data will break any AI system before it starts.

What are the compliance risks?

AI in your workflows means security and governance must be addressed upfront.

Where does AI actually create leverage?

Not every process benefits. You need a ranked, honest answer — not a sales pitch.

The Assessment

We examine how your business actually runs before recommending anything.

Five focus areas. Real operations. No assumptions.

01

How work really flows

The real handoffs and friction. Not the org chart.

02

Where time is lost

Manual work, rework, and the bottlenecks your team works around daily.

03

Where data breaks down

Silos, inconsistent formats, and blind spots across the org.

04

Where automation creates leverage

Tasks that don't need judgment — and the systems that should handle them.

05

Whether AI is even the right answer

And where a simpler solution serves you better.

What We Deliver

Four outputs. One defensible plan.

Confidence for your team. Clarity for your board.

01

Know what's ready — and what isn't.

A clear read on your foundation before a dollar is committed.

  • Data quality
  • System architecture
  • Workflow maturity
  • Security & compliance
  • Org alignment

02

Invest where it counts. Skip where it doesn't.

Ranked by what moves the business — not what sounds impressive.

  • Operational impact
  • ROI potential
  • Implementation complexity
  • Risk level
  • Strategic importance

03

A plan your team executes. Your board approves.

Phases, timelines, and investment ranges — ready to present.

  • Architecture direction
  • Integration requirements
  • Governance & oversight
  • Phased rollout
  • Timeline & investment

04

Own your systems. Control your future.

Build, buy, or avoid — never locked into someone else's roadmap.

  • Total cost of ownership
  • Flexibility & scalability
  • Vendor risk
  • Integration impact
  • Long-term control

If AI won't create measurable value, we tell you. You pay for clarity — not a predetermined answer.

What We Build

Six services. One team. No handoffs. No black boxes.

From data infrastructure to deployed AI.

AI Workshops

Stop guessing where AI fits. Leave with a ranked opportunity list and a clear first move.

Typical Outcome

Clarity on top 3 AI opportunities with effort vs. impact ranking.

Production AI Systems

Cut manual review cycles. We build AI for real workloads — classification, document processing, decision support — that ships to production.

Typical Outcome

Manual review time reduced by 60–80%.

Custom Software

Stop paying for SaaS that almost fits. We build tools around your process, not the other way around.

Typical Outcome

Replace 2–3 subscriptions with one owned, integrated tool.

Data Platforms

If your team reconciles spreadsheets before every meeting, your data is broken. We fix it.

Typical Outcome

Finance and ops unified — one dashboard, zero reconciliation.

Integrations

Manual exports and duplicate entry are a tax on your team. We eliminate them.

Typical Outcome

Hours of weekly manual data entry eliminated through automated sync.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Most teams are overpaying for infrastructure or about to outgrow it. We right-size it.

Typical Outcome

30–50% lower monthly cloud spend.
