The problem we solve

Mid-market companies are stuck between pilots and production.

63%

are underprepared for AI adoption

92%

encounter challenges moving past pilots

01

The pilot trap

Promising experiments stall because no one owns the path from prototype to a governed production system.

02

The talent gap

Senior data and AI engineers are scarce and expensive, and hard to retain inside a single portfolio company.

03

The measurement problem

Without a tie to EBITDA, AI spend looks like cost. Boards need impact they can see and report.

01

Assess

Know where AI creates value.

2 to 4 weeks / $25K to $50K
