Raleigh, NC · United States and Brazil
Your company already runs
on a system.
It just lives in people's heads.
We build the AI systems and software that take the repeat work off your team, so the hours you pay for go into work that grows the business instead of work that only keeps it upright.
Takes about 6 minutes to request. Reviewed by a person, not a booking bot.
- Fixed-scope paid diagnostic before any build commitment
- You own the code, the data, and the accounts from day one
- Built for teams of 10 to 300, not for enterprise committees
- Delivery in English and Portuguese, US and Brazil time zones
The cost of doing nothing
Manual work is not free. It is just billed as payroll.
Most owner-led companies we meet spend a meaningful share of a full-time salary on work a system should be doing. The figures below are the ranges we use for planning, not audited results.
Repeat admin per person
Annual cost, team of 20
Typical first-year recovery
This is what the cost looks like before anyone calls it a cost: a process that only exists on paper, in a chat thread, and in the head of the one person who has done it longest.
It works, until that person is on vacation, until volume doubles, until a customer asks why the number changed. Then it is not admin. It is risk.
Calculator
Put your own numbers on it
Pick the work that actually happens every week, then shape it to your team. The red number is what the manual process is billing you every year. The green number is what we plan to give back.
Step 1 · Which of these happen every week?
Model: 46 working weeks a year, a typical weekly load per process, and a 45% recoverable share. Planning estimates we use before a Diagnostic, not audited results.
What it costs you today
Paid out every year, as payroll, for work a system can do — about 7.5 hours a week per person.
What a system can give back
+$139,725 a year
About 3,105 hours a year returned to work that grows the business.
Fixed scope. Written plan you keep, whether or not you build with us.

The mechanism
Three steps, and the first one is small on purpose
You should be able to judge us on a paid engagement that costs less than a bad hire's first week.
- 01
Diagnose
We map how work actually moves through your company, price the manual steps, and rank the opportunities by payback and risk. You get a written plan you can act on with anyone.
- 02
Build the first system
We ship the highest-payback item as working software in weeks, not quarters. It runs against your real data, with your team using it, before we discuss anything else.
- 03
Extend and hand over
We connect the next processes, document the system, and train your people to run it. The goal is a company that does not need us on retainer to function.
Before and after
What changes for the owner
Red is what the manual process costs you today. Green is what comes back once the system runs it.
Today
- Quotes wait on one person who is already in meetings all day
- Answers live in WhatsApp threads and nobody can find them twice
- Reporting is rebuilt by hand every month from exports
- New hires take months because the process is unwritten
After
- Quotes go out the same day from a system with your rules in it
- Every request has a record, an owner, and a status you can see
- Numbers are current because they come from the source, not a copy
- The process is in the software, so onboarding is days

0%The practice in numbers
Three figures we can back up
Small, verifiable, and stated with the base they come from. We would rather show a small number honestly than a large one we cannot source.

What you are protected from
Where the risk sits, and who carries it
Fixed scope, fixed price
The Diagnostic is priced before it starts. No hourly surprises, no open-ended discovery.
You keep the plan
The ranked opportunity plan is yours to act on with us, with your team, or with anyone else.
You own everything
Code, data, and cloud accounts live under your organization from the first commit.
No retainer trap
We document and hand over. A system you cannot run without us is a system we failed to build.
Objections
The questions owners ask us first
Why does the first step cost money?
Because a free assessment is a sales meeting. A paid diagnostic buys you our full attention, your team's time in interviews, and a written plan you keep whether or not you hire us to build.
We are not ready for AI.
Most companies are not, and that is fine. Half of what we recommend is plain software and integration. AI shows up only where it beats a rule or a form.
What happens to the code?
It is yours. Repositories, cloud accounts, and data live under your organization from the first commit.
How long until something is running?
The Diagnostic is measured in days. The first working system is normally measured in weeks. We scope it so you see something in production before you commit to the second phase.
One next step, and it is a paid one on purpose
The AI Opportunity Diagnostic is a fixed-scope engagement. You leave with a ranked plan you can act on with us or without us.
