How We Work
We’re operators, not consultants. We’ve spent our careers building products and leading teams. We know what it takes to ship and what it takes to make things stick.
Our Process
Every engagement follows a consistent process, adapted to your scope and timeline:
Align
We start with leadership to define what success looks like. What are you trying to achieve? What constraints are non-negotiable? Who needs to be involved, and who needs to be convinced?Discover
This is where we do the real work. We talk to the people who actually do the job, not just the managers who describe it. We observe workflows, surface friction points, and uncover the workarounds that nobody talks about in status meetings. Before recommending solutions, we focus on understanding where you actually stand. Learn more about what AI readiness means.Prioritize
Not every AI opportunity is worth pursuing. We evaluate each one against your goals, your resources, and your organization’s readiness to change. We’re looking for high-impact, low-friction wins - the kind that build momentum, create believers and deliver ROI.Plan
We translate priorities into a roadmap you can actually follow. Realistic timelines. Clear milestones. Dependencies mapped out. Resource requirements defined.

Going Deep
The most common mistake in AI consulting is talking only to executives. Leaders know the strategy. They rarely know the reality.
Real insight comes from the people who live in the workflows every day. The ones who’ve built workarounds nobody documented. The ones who know exactly where the process breaks down and why the last “solution” didn’t work.
That’s why we insist on direct access to end users. Not filtered through managers. We create safe spaces for candid feedback, anonymize what we report, and make sure the people who participate feel heard, not exposed.
What Makes Us Different
We’ve done the job. Our team has led product, marketing, and engineering at companies from startups to Fortune 500. We know what it takes to ship and what it takes to get adoption.
We go to the source. We talk to the people doing the work, not just the people managing it. That’s how we find the opportunities that matter.
We stay practical. Every recommendation comes with a realistic assessment of what it takes to execute. No wish lists. No theoretical frameworks. Just actionable plans.
We’re built for your stage. We bring executive-level experience without enterprise-level overhead. You get the expertise without paying for the entourage.
