We do everything from one honest consultation to a fully built solution.
$250 an hour to start. Nothing else quoted until we understand exactly what you need.
The engagement ledger
How it works
Every engagement follows the same rhythm.
The consultation
$250 an hour. You bring the question. We bring an honest read of your workflows and a straight answer about whether AI helps you.
The evaluation
We look at what you have, what you need, and where the leverage is. We tell you the most cost efficient path, even if that path is "do nothing yet."
The recommendation
A clear plan: what to do, what it costs, and what you get. Fair and reasonable pricing, agreed together, after we understand the work.
The build
When off the shelf is not enough, we build it. Real software for real problems, delivered and working on your systems.
From consultation to contract
We offer everything from consultation services to contract services. The consultation is where it starts. If you need more, we determine together what you need and how best to address it. Then we agree a fair and reasonable price to build you a solution that puts you ahead of your competition by making your day to day operations more effective, more efficient, and easier on your cashflow.
No open meter. No surprise invoice. The price is agreed before the work starts, and it is agreed together.
What it costs
$250 an hour for the initial consultation. That is the only service price we publish.
Everything else is quoted after we understand exactly what you need. We are transparent about that because the cost depends on the work, and the work depends on your business. A fair and reasonable price, agreed together, is the model.
We publish the $250 an hour rate because nobody else in this market does. It is the 2026 market median for AI consulting, and publishing it is radical transparency in a category that hides behind "book a discovery call." We are not afraid of the number. You should not be either.
Expertise by vertical
Our expertise is vast and concrete. Here is where we have operated. This list is not aspiration. It is two careers, one running operations, one running the numbers.
Construction
We know the field, the back office, and the bid. Our founder owned, licensed, and operated Aeon Construction as a General Contractor, and built it into a profitable company.
Finance
We understand cashflow because we have managed it. Our CFO has led finance for a diversified real estate holding company since 2015, and our founder owns a medical finance firm.
Credit
We have worked the credit side. Our founder's medical finance company buys receivables that providers would otherwise wait 12 to 24 months to collect.
Accounting
We have closed the books and read the story in the lines. Our CFO's career includes PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms, and Controller of a 900 person firm.
Real Estate
We know the deal and the carrying cost. Our CFO runs a portfolio of industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential property across five western states.
Healthcare
We understand the compliance weight and the patient flow. Our founder started as an owner and operator in urgent care in 2010 and ran a multi site chain from Director of Operations to Chief Executive Officer.
Software Development
We ship. Orion Tuner and Larder are the proof, and our cofounder built healthcare software for practices before this company.
Operational Dashboards
We build the dashboards operators actually use, not the ones that look good in a meeting and die in a week.
AI (models, inference, local AI and hardware)
This is our home turf. We know the models, the engines, the hardware, and the cost math. Nobody in the consulting market owns this.
Networks and Low Voltage
We stand up the infrastructure, not just the software on top. We know the rack, the cabling, and the switch.
Small Business
We have been the small business. We know the weight of every dollar and the value of a straight answer.
Local AI and hardware: our moat
Nobody in the consulting market owns the local AI and hardware angle as a service. Vertical tool vendors sell construction finance software. Cloud consultancies sell cloud. We stand up local AI infrastructure: the right hardware, the right inference engines, the right tuning, and the proof that it works.
This is the cheapest fast path for a lot of businesses. Local AI means no per token cloud bill, no data leaving your building, and full control of your infrastructure. We know the hardware, we know the engines, and we have built the tool to manage it. That tool is Orion Tuner, and it is $10.
Sometimes AI is not the answer
We will tell you when it is not. The consultation exists to find out honestly. If AI is not the answer for your business, we say it and you keep your $250 as a cheap, decisive answer. One well spent hour beats a wasted $25,000 project.
If it is the answer, we show you the cost efficient path. No hype. No overselling. Just the honest assessment and the plan.
Do not be over sold
There is a pattern in this market. Companies that understand business and are simply "software bros." They do not know how to properly run a business and they never will. They sell the promise, send the invoice, and move on.
We are not that. We have run businesses. We publish our price. We build the software. We tell you the truth.
We are the only partner you will ever need.
Start with one honest hour. $250. A straight answer, even if the answer is "you do not need this yet."
