Three industries. Not thirty.
We are deliberate about the industries we work in. Three segments where our depth, our patterns, and the founder's background compound. Outside these, we say so on the intake call.
Professional services
Marketing, accounting, law, consulting, research firms.
Read the fit →SaaS / tech startups
Real product, real revenue, no dedicated AI team.
Read the fit →Manufacturing / industrial
Document-heavy operations bottlenecking throughput.

Senior time is the constraint. Partner-hours do not scale linearly. Every hour a senior spends on first drafts or research synthesis is an hour they are not selling, advising, or shipping the next deliverable. First ship usually rewires research synthesis, deliverable production, or client communications.
Fit signals
- Senior or partner time is being burned on first drafts and synthesis
- A recurring deliverable cadence (briefings, research, proposals)
- Internal documents and SOPs are scattered across tools
- An internal owner exists who can adopt and run a new workflow
Anti-fit
- You want client-facing AI features for end-users (we are internal-ops focused)
- Senior time is not actually the bottleneck
Signature use cases
| “Senior time burned on research synthesis before every deliverable.” | Daily intelligence briefing across topic clusters, plus a research skill that drafts a brief with cited sources from the index |
| “Brand voice consistency across multiple personas.” | Per-persona voice guidelines with post-write voice sweeps. Drafts ship in voice or get rejected |
| “Pipeline lives in a markdown file nobody else can use.” | Per-opportunity files plus index plus auto-generated rollup, founder-vacation-survivable |
SaaS / tech startups
Either you are adding AI features to the product, or internal ops are eating founder and operator time that should be on the product. Buyers are founders, heads of product, or heads of ops. Budget comes from product or ops line items, not a separate AI line.
Fit signals
- You have a product and revenue but no dedicated AI team
- Internal ops automation gaps are slowing the product team down
- You want a customer-facing AI feature without a 6-month build cycle
- Founder or head of ops can be the internal owner
Anti-fit
- Pre-revenue or unfunded. Your problem is product-market fit, not ops
- You want to license a SaaS product (we configure a platform you own, not one you rent)
Signature use cases
| “Founder spends two to three hours every morning scanning the industry.” | Daily intelligence briefing across keyword clusters and signal accounts. Relevance-ranked, deduped, cited |
| “Customer support and meeting prep eat operator hours.” | Operator copilot embedded in your existing tools, narrow-scope, keyboard-first |
| “No measurement floor under your AI experiments.” | Schema, metric dictionary, and telemetry that make every other experiment measurable |
Manufacturing / industrial
Quoting, compliance, field reporting, R&D resource planning, risk modeling. A few experienced people produce documents that drive everything downstream. The founder's background here is real: nuclear and mechanical engineering, with time on industrial manufacturing floors.
Fit signals
- Document-heavy operations where a few people produce work that drives everything else
- Quoting, compliance, RFQ/RFP response, or R&D resource planning is a bottleneck
- VP of Operations or Engineering owns the buy
Anti-fit
- Heavily regulated processes or systems where compliance, not throughput, is the real bottleneck
- Shop-floor automation (we are document and decision work, not control systems)
- You need a CAD or PLM integration as the primary work surface
Signature use cases
| “Quoting cycle is the throughput ceiling for the business.” | Pipeline retrofit with a model in the middle, instrumented sign-off, and a trace you can stand behind |
| “Field reports and compliance documentation eat engineering time.” | Knowledge interface anchored to your standards and prior reports. Drafts come back cite-able |
Not sure you fit? Ask anyway.
We will tell you straight on the first call. About half do not turn into an engagement.
