The Gap

You've tried AI. Your business hasn't changed.

You've used ChatGPT. Maybe wired up a Zapier flow. Maybe a vendor pitched you a $50,000 “AI transformation.”

But your team is still doing things the same way as last year — because there's a gap between “AI is cool” and “AI is integrated into how the business actually runs.”

That gap is where we work.

01 · Services

Three ways to work together.

Start small. Prove value. Scale from there. No long contracts, no surprise invoices.

01
AI Operations Audit
$1,500 flat · free for existing clients
A focused day inside your business. You leave with a written assessment of three to five specific places AI will save you measurable time or money — with realistic timelines and costs.
  • Half-day on-site or remote workshop
  • Process and tooling review
  • Written roadmap with priority ranking
  • No pressure to continue

02
Implementation Sprint
$5,000 – $15,000 per project
We take one process from your audit and ship it in two to six weeks. Custom workflows, real integrations, production code — not a Zapier band-aid that breaks at scale.
  • Automated lead intake & routing
  • Document & invoice processing
  • Custom AI agents for support or ops
  • NetSuite, Shopify, HubSpot, custom DB, etc.
03
Fractional AI Partner
$3,500 – $7,500 / month
For businesses ready to embed AI into operations long-term. We become your part-time technology partner. Weekly meetings, identify opportunities, ship, train your team.
  • Weekly working sessions
  • Priority dev time for new builds
  • Maintenance & iteration on prior work
  • Team enablement & training

Custom packaging portal,
built in weeks.

“CannaTrim needed a B2B packaging order portal — custom artwork uploads, dynamic SKU pricing, order management — on a tight budget and tighter timeline. Traditional dev would have meant six figures and four months. We shipped a production multi-tenant platform that's streamlined and automated their workflow.”

Why Us

The gap most AI consultants can't close.

There's a difference between someone who knows how to prompt and someone who can ship production software. We're the second.

  • 25 years of senior engineeringNext.js, TypeScript, C#, SQL, custom integrations. We’ve seen what breaks in production.
  • We ship real code, not slide decksMost "AI consultants" deliver PDFs. We deliver running software you own.
  • We run small businesses ourselvesTwo of them. We understand cash flow, time constraints, and "good enough to ship."
  • AI-native development workflowWe use the same tools we’re helping you adopt. Faster builds, lower cost, real quality.
  • Honest about what AI can’t doIf a process shouldn’t be automated, we’ll tell you. No hype tax.
  • Based in Seattle, working nationallyOn-site in greater Seattle. Remote everywhere else.
