AI Enablement & Integration Consulting

The model is the
easy part.

We work with Series B-D companies to build the organizational and technical foundation for AI that actually compounds. Strategy, implementation, and the hard conversations most firms skip.

Research

What we know from the field

Practitioner research from working with engineering teams across Series B to D companies. Data-backed, direct, and written for the people doing the work.

Cost Analysis
The Integration Tax
Model API costs are 10-20% of what AI actually costs to ship. Where the other 80% goes -- and why most budgets are wrong before they start.
Engineering Maturity
Beyond the Prompt
The teams shipping reliable production agentic systems are not prompting harder. They have moved through a specific engineering maturity ladder.
Adoption Economics
The Six Percent
88% of organizations use AI. Only 6% see meaningful returns. What McKinsey found in nearly 2,000 companies across 105 countries.
AI Leadership
The Mandate Trap
Shopify's AI mandate worked. Duolingo's didn't. The companies copying the Shopify memo template are learning the wrong lesson.
MLOps
The Measurement Problem
A company ran an AI system for eight months before discovering four months of silent degradation. Most companies have no better detection mechanism.
Organizational Design
The Org Chart Problem
AI transformation fails not because of technology but because of where it gets placed in the org chart. Every placement encodes a ceiling.
Operational Intelligence
Shift Handoff Intelligence
A multi-industry simulation reveals 100% information retention with AI-generated shift briefings vs. 40-60% with verbal handoffs. The pattern detection gap is where preventable failures originate.

How we work

Three engagements, each designed for where you actually are -- not where the deck says you should be.

01
Discovery
Four weeks. We audit your current AI posture -- tools, workflows, org structure, and the gap between where you are and where the 6% are. Deliverable: a prioritized 90-day roadmap and an honest assessment of what is blocking you.
$8,000 -- $15,000
02
Implementation
Eight to sixteen weeks. We build the missing layer -- evaluation infrastructure, agent workflows, skill libraries, measurement systems. We do the work alongside your team, not instead of them.
$30,000 -- $80,000
03
Embedded Advisory
Ongoing. One day per week embedded with your engineering leadership. We track the adoption curve, catch the measurement gaps before they become incidents, and handle the decisions that need someone who has done this before.
$12,000 / month

Start with a conversation

Most engagements start with a 30-minute call where we find out whether we can actually help. No deck, no pitch. Just an honest assessment of where you are and whether we are the right fit.
