Who this is for
You know AI could give your business a real advantage. You just do not know the cost or where to start. We do.
You want AI to make your workflows better and your expenses lower. You want your employees more effective, not replaced.
You want the help but do not know how to get there. You need someone to find the best, most cost efficient path and stand up the right hardware and systems.
You want a partner who actually cares whether you succeed.
Maybe you think AI cannot help your business at all. You want an honest evaluation, not a sales pitch. Sometimes AI is not the solution. We will tell you when it is not.
You need a partner who has run a business, not just pitched one. Our founders owned a construction company, an urgent care practice sold to NextCare, a healthcare software company, and a medical finance firm. Our CFO built her career at PwC, JPMorgan Chase, and a diversified real estate portfolio. We know the struggles firsthand, from both sides: operations and the numbers.
And maybe you need more than an AI solution. You need a partner who builds real software for real problems.
If any of that sounds like you, we should talk.
Three things we promise
The honest evaluation
We evaluate your business honestly and tell you the truth, even when it costs us the sale. The $250 an hour consultation is an honest read of your workflows and a straight answer about whether AI helps you. If it does not, we say so and you walk away with a cheap, decisive answer.
Real builders
We do not just advise. We build. When off the shelf is not enough, we write the software and deliver it. Our own products, Orion Tuner and Larder, are the receipts. They are real, working software you can point to today.
The practical path
We find the leanest path to value, stand up the right hardware and systems, and protect your cashflow. No open meter. No slide deck and an invoice. A fair and reasonable price agreed together, after we understand exactly what you need.
We build real software
Orion Tuner
Orion Tuner is mission control for local AI. Tune, benchmark, and prove local AI models on your own hardware. Four engines in one app. $10 once, offline, no telemetry.
$10 once · offline · no telemetryLarder
Larder is the private family grocery app that knows what you have so you buy what you need. Runs on your own devices. No cloud, no server holding your data.
runs on your devices · no cloudWhere we have operated
Our expertise is vast and concrete. Not a buzzword list. These are the industries and disciplines we have worked in firsthand.
Construction
We know the field, the back office, and the bid.
Finance
We understand cashflow because we have managed it.
Credit
We know what the numbers mean for a real operation.
Accounting
We have closed the books and read the story.
Real Estate
We know the deal and the carrying cost.
Healthcare
We understand the compliance weight and the patient flow.
Software Development
We ship. The products above prove it.
Operational Dashboards
We build the dashboards operators actually use.
AI (models, inference, local AI and hardware)
This is our home turf. Nobody in the consulting market owns this angle.
Networks and Low Voltage
We stand up the infrastructure, not just the software on top.
Small Business
We have been the small business. We know the weight of every dollar.
Not tech bros
There is a pattern in this market. Parachute consultants who drop in with a slide deck and an invoice, no operating experience, and no software to show for it. They sell the promise of AI and hope you do not ask the hard questions.
We are not that. We have run businesses. We have managed payroll, watched cashflow, and made the hard calls. We have built and shipped real software. We publish our price.
The contrast is the point. We are the partner who has been in your chair.
We are not here to sell you AI. We are here to tell you the truth and build what you actually need.
Not sure if AI is right for you?
That is exactly what the consultation is for. One hour, $250, a straight answer. If AI is not the answer, you will know and you will have spent $250 to find out instead of $25,000 to find out the hard way.
We are the only partner you will ever need.
Sometimes AI is not the answer. We will tell you when it is not. When it is, we build it. That is the whole promise.
