      Instead of handing you a strategy deck and walking away, we work inside your organization—onsite or embedded remotely.
      We map messy, real-world workflows, integrate with your existing systems, and ship production automation that your team
      can run day to day. You get faster time-to-value without hiring a full-time specialized AI engineering team.

      pilots, little production impact. Organizations that need an engineer in the trenches, not another advisory engagement.
