How engagements run

  • Documentation-first approach: north-star metrics, architecture notes, and hiring scorecards.
  • Rapid experiment loops that de-risk AI and cloud investments before scaling.

Ideal fit

  • Seed to Series B companies building AI-enabled or platform-centric products.
  • Leaders ready to invest time alongside technology uplift and change management.
  • Clear executive sponsorship with success metrics tied to revenue, cost, or compliance.

Next steps

  • Share your product vision, team composition, and target milestones.
  • We align on 60-day outcomes and working rhythm in a 30-minute intro call.
  • Engagements typically start with a deep-dive discovery sprint.
