The catalog is the ladder.

AI Readiness Audit

The engagement that places you. We inventory how work actually gets done — the workflows, the data, the tools, and the shadow usage nobody has admitted to yet — and assess every function against the ladder.

You leave with

• A maturity heatmap: every function, its level, and why
• The highest-ROI candidate workflows, ranked
• Honest build-versus-buy calls — including “don’t build this”
• A roadmap priced as specific engagements from this catalog, not a vision statement

Fixed fee · one to two weeks

Sanctioned-AI Setup

For companies where AI usage is real but unsanctioned. We write a usage policy that fits how your people already work, roll out organizational licenses with single sign-on and managed settings, and run an amnesty inventory of existing shadow usage — which doubles as a free requirements document for everything that follows. Ends with an all-hands working session, not a memo.

Small fixed fee · fast · often bundled into the audit

Pilot Build

One named workflow, automated end to end and deployed in your environment: connectors into your data, the working tooling, and an evaluation harness that proves the workflow performs against your definition of “works.” The pilot is how a company earns its first real evidence — and how we earn the right to propose anything larger.

You leave with

• A production workflow your team runs without us in the room
• Connectors into your systems, documented
• An eval harness that keeps proving it after we leave

Fixed fee · four to eight weeks

Private Plugin Marketplace

The centerpiece of the catalog. Your proven workflows — the pilot, the power users’ private toolkits, the integrations every team keeps rebuilding — packaged as versioned plugins in a private, managed catalog for your organization.

Every relevant employee gets the same vetted tooling on day one. Updates propagate automatically. IT gets what it has been asking for all along: an approved catalog, permission scoping, and provenance for everything that runs on employee machines. “How we use AI here” stops being tribal knowledge and becomes a durable, compounding asset of the company.

You leave with

• A private plugin catalog, installed org-wide in one command
• An update pipeline — a workflow improved once improves for everyone
• A governance story your security team signs off on

Agent Deployment

Long-running agents on the workflows your marketplace already standardized — inbox triage, queue watching, scheduled jobs, drafting for approval. Trust is engineered, not assumed: every agent starts in draft-only mode and graduates to act-with-approval, then act-and-report, one workflow at a time.

Observability comes with it — logs, cost tracking, and escalation paths treated as seriously as for any other production system. New agents ship as plugins into the marketplace you already run, so capability keeps compounding in one place.

AI Operations Retainer

For companies whose agents already work and whose question has become orchestration: agents composed into supervised systems that own processes end to end, verified adversarially, measured for quality and cost the way a team would be. We act as your fractional AI-operations lead — orchestration design, evaluations, cost governance, fleet supervision.

This is the level we run the firm at ourselves, which is why we’re comfortable telling you most companies shouldn’t buy this yet.

Monthly retainer · three-month minimum

Fractional AI Engineer

A senior AI engineer on your team for a fixed number of days each month — embedded, in your environment, under your priorities. For companies that have real AI work most months but not forty hours a week of it, and no appetite for a recruiting war over a hire the market has already priced out of reach.

This is how the ladder keeps moving between engagements: pilots get built, the catalog stays healthy, agents stay supervised, and your team levels up by working next to someone who ships. Scope rides the roadmap the audit produced — nothing freelance about it — and when a climb is big enough to deserve its own fixed scope, it becomes one of the engagements above instead of quietly eating the days.

The days go to

• Building workflows from your roadmap, end to end
• Stewarding your plugin catalog — reviews, updates, provenance
• Keeping evaluations green as models and workflows change
• Supervising deployed agents and tightening their trust gates
• Office hours: your team’s questions, answered by someone who ships
• An engineer in the room when vendors pitch you
