Four things.
Done well.

We stay narrow on purpose. Every engagement is staffed by the people who’ll do the work — no bait-and-switch from a senior pitch to a junior delivery team.

01 / 04 Delivery
Project management & delivery

A fractional delivery lead embedded in your team. We run the standups, write the RFCs, manage vendor risk, and make sure the thing actually ships on the date you told your board.

— What’s included
Discovery & scoping
Turn a vague goal into a written brief with in-scope, out-of-scope, and a dated plan. Usually 2–4 weeks.
Sprint cadence
Weekly written status, unambiguous owners, and a kept-honest backlog. No Monday-morning surprises.
Vendor & SoW management
We’ve worked across ~50 vendors. We read the fine print and push back before you sign.
Recovery
Late, drifting, or misaligned? We come in, diagnose in writing, and either get it shipped or help you cut it.
02 / 04 Engineering
Custom development

Full-stack engineering for internal tools, integration work, and customer-facing features. TypeScript, Python, Go. Postgres and the boring-but-reliable rest. Cloud-native by default.

— What’s included
Internal tools
Dashboards, ops consoles, admin UIs. The software your team uses that no one will ever demo.
API & integration
Connect the six systems that should already be connected. Idempotent, observable, documented.
Web & product features
Customer-facing work built to your design system (or ours). Shipped with tests and monitoring.
Platform & reliability
CI/CD, observability, and the unsexy cleanup that stops your on-call from being miserable.
03 / 04 AI / Applied
AI integration

LLM features, retrieval pipelines, and agent workflows wired into products you already ship. We build with evals from day one because AI without measurement is just vibes.

— What’s included
RAG pipelines
Retrieval over your documents, tickets, or product data — with evals, guardrails, and a path to production.
Agent workflows
Scoped, observable agents that do real work. We say no to agents that write to production without a human in the loop.
LLM features in existing products
Summarization, extraction, classification, drafting. Built into the UI your users already use.
Evals & guardrails
Golden sets, regression testing, and the measurement harness that lets you actually iterate.
04 / 04 AI / Advisory
AI strategy & advisory

Before you commit headcount or budget: a 3-to-6 week assessment that produces a prioritized roadmap, build-vs-buy calls, and a pilot scope you can defend to your board.

— What’s included
Readiness review
Where your data, workflows, and team actually stand — written, not sugar-coated.
Opportunity mapping
A scored list of AI use-cases ranked by ROI and implementation risk.
Vendor selection
We’ve evaluated most of them. We tell you which ones are worth your time.
Team enablement
Training and internal documentation so your team can operate what we build.
— How we work

Small team. Written work. No surprises.
