Organizations rush to adopt AI because competitors are. We help you figure out if you should, when you should, and how to do it in a way that strengthens—not disrupts—your business.
We start with your problem, not our solution.
We work with leaders at
Evaluating which AI features create competitive advantage vs. table stakes.
Designing AI features that enhance learning outcomes without replacing teachers.
Navigating feature bloat from the AI arms race with unclear ROI.
Building AI features that strengthen products without destroying simplicity or unit economics.
Personalizing content and recommendations while maintaining brand integrity and creative quality.
Building fan engagement, betting, and streaming platforms with responsible AI.
These are examples—we work with any organization asking hard questions about AI adoption.
95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable P&L impact—yet companies keep investing anyway.
Product-driven organizations face unique AI challenges. We've solved these at Disney, Twitter, and Microsoft—now we help you navigate them without the expensive mistakes.
Should you build AI in-house, integrate APIs, or partner with platforms? We've negotiated platform deals, evaluated major RFPs, and made build-vs-buy decisions with 8-figure consequences.
AI features that delight customers can destroy margins. We help you model whether your AI features are sustainable before you ship—balancing competing revenue models and cost structures.
Sales wants AI, competitors shipped AI, the board asks about AI—so you build features nobody uses. We help prioritize high-value products aligned with company goals, saying no to features that don't move the needle.
Which AI features create defensible competitive advantages vs. which ones competitors will copy in 3 months? We help you decide what differentiates you vs. what's necessary to compete.
Shipping fast creates technical debt faster. We help you identify which architectural decisions matter early vs. which can wait, while managing migrations and keeping products running at scale.
There's a difference between a feature that works for 1,000 users and one that scales to 100 million. We know which performance optimizations matter at which stage, and when 'good enough' becomes 'broken at scale.'
We'll recommend the simplest path that works—based on fit, cost to run, and time to value.
