Experience & Prior Engagements
Problems We Solve
You are paying for Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT, but your team barely uses them.
We train on your actual workflows, not generic prompts. Adoption sticks because the value is immediate.
Every vendor says they are “AI-powered” and you cannot tell what is real.
We are platform-agnostic practitioners, not resellers. We match the right tools to your specific goals.
The board is asking about your AI strategy and you do not have a clear answer.
The goal for the first 90 days is documented wins, time savings metrics, and a roadmap you can present.
Free Self-Assessment
Score Your Own Readiness First
Before scoping an engagement, it helps to know where you actually stand. Our self-assessment rates your organization across five weighted dimensions, from data and tooling through governance and skills, using written descriptions of what each level looks like in practice. It takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes, the summary score is free with no sign-up, and a work email unlocks the full per-dimension readout.

From First Call to Self-Sufficient Team
We Learn Your Org
We start by understanding your workflows, tech stack, team structure, and pain points. You walk away with a clear picture of where AI is most likely to help.
We Get Embedded
We become your team’s AI Center of Excellence. Live trainings, use case evaluation, and hands-on coaching so your people learn to build and implement themselves.
Your Team Runs It
The goal for the first 90 days is a team that is confident, self-sufficient, and working through practical use cases, with documented wins and a roadmap to show leadership.
Inside every engagement, the work runs on the same five-move method your team learns to run itself: Map it, Split it, Fuel it, Guard it, Review it.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
We are platform-agnostic. We work across Microsoft (Copilot), OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini, Vertex AI), and Anthropic (Claude). We match the right tool to your team’s workflows and goals, not the other way around.
Yes. We offer a paid 30-day pilot engagement so your team can experience the value firsthand. Most teams convert to a full program after the first month.
Month 1: Discovery and initial training sessions tailored to your workflows. Months 2–6: Ongoing live trainings (2x/month), use case evaluation, and hands-on coaching. Months 7–12: Your team is self-sufficient, and we shift to advanced topics and new tool adoption.
We work best with cross-functional groups: finance, accounting, FP&A, and operations. The ideal starting group is 5–20 people, though we have scaled programs to 1,000+ across the enterprise. Leadership buy-in accelerates adoption, so we recommend at least one Director or senior leader as a sponsor.
Most AI consultants deliver a strategy deck and leave. We embed with your team for the long haul, and many of our relationships extend well beyond the initial engagement as we become an integral part of your team’s rhythm. We deliver live training, evaluate real use cases, and coach your people until they are confident building on their own.
We scale with you. Whether your team needs additional training hours, dedicated support across multiple departments, or consulting on adjacent areas like technical accounting, financial transformation, or org design, we customize the engagement to fit. Many of our clients expand scope as they see results.
Client teams have reported time savings of up to 10x on repetitive workflows within the first 90 days. Results vary by workflow and starting point. The more durable outcome tends to be documented wins and a roadmap you can present to leadership, rather than a tool subscription nobody opens.
