Your best people spend half their day on work a system should handle.

Because the hire is the lever you've always had, and it's the expensive one. The AI hype machine wants to sell you tools; your own instinct says add a body to the backlog. Both leave you paying for the same manual process forever. Ten more process hires runs roughly $1M a year in loaded payroll (a stated assumption at about $100K each), plus three to six months of ramp each, for work a system runs once. Your current team stays and does the judgment work; the system does the process work - the reporting, the follow-up, the reconciliation, the triage. You move from staffing every gap with headcount to a business that grows on systems that compound instead of payroll that scales linearly. This is about the roles you haven't posted yet, not the people you have.

No. Our deepest playbooks are professional services and contract manufacturing. We also publish for financial services, healthcare, logistics, retail, software, private equity, and the other verticals on this page because the systems transfer - and we engage with mid-market companies in any sector. The engagement model is industry-agnostic; the vertical-specific knowledge gets built into the deployment during the process audit.

Our deepest playbooks are professional services and contract manufacturing, but most of the operational drag we automate (manual reporting, lead qualification, follow-up sequencing, exception triage, document review, reconciliation) is structural to mid-market operations regardless of the vertical - the same C.O.R.E. methodology has delivered in sectors well outside our published list. Book a strategy call - we'll tell you within the first conversation whether we're the right fit.

It's the same as any other engagement. We start with a 30-minute strategy call to understand your top operational bottlenecks. If there's a fit, we run a 1-2 week process audit to identify the highest-ROI automation opportunity, then build and deploy a production system - working in your business inside the first 100 days. The only difference for less common verticals is that the audit phase often identifies more workflows we haven't deployed for before - which means the build phase includes more original architecture work, not less.

Our sweet spot is operators with 50-500 people and $10M-$200M in revenue. We occasionally take well-scoped engagements outside that band, but we're not a fit for early-stage startups still figuring out product-market fit, or for Fortune 100 companies needing massive systems integration work.

Generic AI consulting firms sell strategy decks, advisory hours, and pilot programs. We build and deploy production AI systems that run inside your stack, integrated with your existing tools, owned by your team after handoff. No recurring license fees, no perpetual advisory retainer, no proof-of-concept-that-never-ships. Read more about how we compare to alternatives on our compare hub.

Our AI Accelerator workshops start at $4,500 and the fee credits toward implementation. A single-entity firm of 50-500 people typically lands in the $30,000-$80,000 range for a full agent build, fixed-bid after a scoping call. Multi-entity, multi-CRM, or M&A-scale integrations run higher and are scoped and quoted after a discovery call - the cost driver is systems merged, not headcount. Cost is the same across industries - what varies is the scope of the audit and the depth of integration work, both of which we estimate concretely after the first call.

Yes. Compliance gets architected into the deployment from week 1 - our systems run inside your existing platforms and permissions, with data residency, audit logging, role-based access, and BAAs with vendors where required. Your compliance team reviews the design before anything goes live. If your industry has specific regulatory requirements - HIPAA, FINRA, state bar rules - raise them on the strategy call and we'll walk through exactly how the deployment would handle them.
