Engagement levels
Two paths to AI transformation
One outcome at a time, or a fund-wide partnership across a portfolio. Either way, what we deliver is a verified outcome plus a capital asset that compounds.
01 / Outcome
Quick Win in a Box
From $10,000
Per outcome · 50% deferred to verified success
A 2–8 week engagement targeting one ambitious business outcome. Weekly ~50 min syncs with an Operator/Oracle, custom tech that ships with you, and a trained internal champion at handoff.
- Ambitious outcome negotiated upfront
- Weekly ~50 min Operator/Oracle syncs
- Custom tech: MCP servers, apps, automations
- Trained internal champion

Custom

AI Implementation Services
Three ways to put AI to work
From a single live activation to a fund-wide AI transformation partnership. Every engagement ships a verified outcome and a capital asset your team owns.
All prices in USD. Outcome-based engagements bill 50% upfront and 50% upon verified success.
Why fund partners pick us
Proven ROI that CFOs trust
Rapid pilots, real dollars, and a finance-grade audit trail at the end. We work with PE firms, VC-backed companies, and the operators inside them.
01 / Speed
Quick wins on day-one cycle times
First 30-day quick win typically frees 10× capacity or compresses a 10-day report cycle to same-day. We start where the leverage is highest, not where the slide deck looks best.
02 / Rigor
PE-grade verification, finance-team signed
Outcomes are checked by your stakeholder. Engagements bill 50% on verified success — we don't get paid in full until the result is real, and CFOs across sectors have validated 5–10× payback.
03 / Fit
Built for operators, not IT
Zero rip-and-replace. We layer custom software on top of your existing stack and deploy to your cloud (Azure / AWS) or our Product Nursery (Railway) — your portfolio companies own the repo at handoff.
