01 Who we are

Strategy meets execution.

Most consultants hand you a deck. Most developers hand you a tool. We do something different: we design the complete operational solution (strategy, systems, AI, and the adoption plan) tailored to how your business actually runs.

100%

Certified & Proven

Jake is Airtable Builder certified and builds the platforms and AI systems your operations run on, from full operational platforms to AI agents trained on your experts’ knowledge. Nick has led enterprise change management for AI, ERP, and process automation initiatives serving 85,000+ employees. Together, we cover the full stack, from system design to organizational adoption.

Combined Years

We’re operations consultants who happen to be very good at building systems. Not the other way around. Between us, we’ve spent nearly two decades solving the kinds of operational problems that don’t have a product you can just buy, from building automated platforms for growing businesses to driving $500M transformation programs at Fortune 500 companies. The best system is the one people actually use. That’s why we deliver both.

8+

Industries

Consulting, defense, manufacturing, construction, investment, healthcare, publishing, and enterprise HR. Eight industries that share operational complexity and demand systems that work. This range lets us spot what’s universal and what’s unique to your business.

02 What we do

How we help

From evaluation to implementation to adoption, we handle the full lifecycle.

Full Platform Build

For businesses ready to replace the patchwork. Complete operational systems that connect everything from finances, projects, clients, teams, and communications in one platform. We design and build the infrastructure your business runs on: not a database, not a tool, but the system that replaces the five you're currently fighting with.

Targeted Automation

For teams drowning in manual work. Specific workflows that eliminate the repetitive tasks eating your week. Data entry, reporting, approvals, and handoffs, all automated and connected to the systems you already use. Solve the problem without rebuilding everything.

Advisory & Strategy

For leaders who need clarity before application. Sometimes you need to understand what you actually need before anyone starts building. We help you map your operations, identify the real bottlenecks, and design a system strategy, whether we build it or someone else does.

AI & Intelligent Automation

For businesses that want AI doing real work, not demos. Agents that answer from your company's actual knowledge. Pipelines that read emails and documents and act on them. AI woven into the systems you already run: Airtable, ServiceNow, Teams. We've deployed conversational AI to 85,000+ employees, and we build the same capability for teams of ten.

Fractional Operations

For businesses buried in operational mess with no one to own the cleanup. We embed as your part-time operations team: untangling the pile of disconnected tools, scattered files, and manual workarounds, then tightening how the work flows week over week. Senior operations leadership on a fractional basis, pointed squarely at clearing the backlog and making the day-to-day run leaner.

04 FAQs

Frequently asked questions

01What tools do you use?+

It depends on what you need. We're platform-agnostic. For AI, we build on Anthropic's Claude with retrieval grounded in your own data. For custom systems, we lean on Airtable, Supabase, and modern web stacks; for enterprise, we work in ServiceNow, Power Platform, and Oracle; and we connect it all with Stripe, Zapier, Make, and custom code. Jake is an Airtable Builder certified specialist, and Nick has deep experience with enterprise systems like ServiceNow, Power Apps, and Oracle. We pick the tools that fit your business, not the other way around.

02Do you work with businesses our size?+

We've built systems for teams of 3 and driven adoption programs for organizations of 85,000+. Size matters less than complexity. If your operations have outgrown your tools, whether that's spreadsheets or enterprise software that doesn't fit, we should talk.

03Do you offer ongoing support?+

Yes. Systems need maintenance, and businesses change. We offer retainer arrangements for clients who want ongoing optimization, support, and continuous improvement.

04How much does this cost?+

It varies by scope and complexity. We're not the cheapest option, but we're the ones who build systems that actually work and last, and we make sure your team uses them. We'll give you a clear proposal after we talk through what you need. What to expect: $100-$200/hour or a Flat-Fee option

05Can you build AI trained on our company's knowledge?+

Yes. It's become a core part of our work. We build assistants grounded in your actual documents, frameworks, and data (not generic chatbots), deployed where your team and customers already are: your website, Slack or Discord, Microsoft Teams. You own the system, the knowledge stays yours, and the running costs are typically a fraction of off-the-shelf chatbot vendors.

06What's the process for getting started?+

1. Initial call: we talk through what's broken and what you need 2. Proposal: we send scope, timeline, and pricing 3. Discovery: we map your operations and design the solution 4. Build & Implement: we build it, you test it, we refine until it works 5. Adoption & Handoff: training, documentation, change management, and support

Let’s figure out what you actually need.

Not a sales call. A conversation about what’s broken, what’s working, and whether we’re the right team to help.
