AI Opportunity Audit
$2,500 fixed
1–2 weeks
We map your workflows, find where AI can save real hours, and hand you a build-or-don’t-build decision. Useful even when the answer is “don’t build.”
AI integration for professional offices of 5 to 50 people
We build the AI systems your office runs on. Then we keep them running.
We put AI to work inside the software your team already uses — intake, documents, follow-up, reporting — and we keep it running. One Marine-veteran engineer scopes it, builds it, and answers the phone afterward. Your client data stays on infrastructure you control.

The honest problem
You know AI could help. Pasting sensitive data into a random chatbot isn’t a plan.
If you run a law firm, a medical or dental practice, an accounting or CFO firm, an agency, or a small manufacturer’s office, you’ve seen the demos. But the useful work touches files, billing, and records you can’t gamble with.
You need one or two workflows built properly into what you already run, with someone accountable for keeping them running.
- Intake, re-keying, drafting the same letters, and chasing follow-ups take your team away from useful work.
- Ad hoc chat tools put sensitive information somewhere you don’t control — with no clear record of it.
- You need to know which model touches which data, and who approves what goes out the door.
- You don’t want to hire developers. You need a build that gets finished, documented, and maintained.

We run what we build
We run our own company on our own AI system.
Our intake, drafting, QA, and delivery run on an in-house system. A person reviews every client-facing output before it leaves. Human approval is how our own shop works, not an afterthought.
The same approach guides a build: understand the workflow, define the data boundaries, test the work, and make the handoff clear. If AI isn’t the right answer, we’ll tell you.

Most AI consultants aren’t security people. We’re both.
Fifteen-plus years of IT and security leadership, a Marine’s habit of finishing the job, and a certified service-disabled veteran-owned business standing behind the work. Security and delivery belong in the same conversation.
How it works
How we handle your data.
Four commitments that hold on every engagement — because useful AI needs clear boundaries.
1Control
Your data stays where you control it.
Your client data stays on infrastructure you control — your systems, your accounts, your servers. We define access and data boundaries before the build.
2Transparency
We tell you which model touches what.
Some tasks use a locally hosted model; others may use a hosted provider under a business agreement. We document the model, data flow, retention, and training terms before anything goes live.
3Approval
A human approves anything client-facing.
Drafts, replies, filings, invoices — the right person on your team approves what goes out the door. The approval step is part of the workflow.
4Record
Everything is documented.
Access controls, logs, and a plain record of what the system did and why. Your team gets the information it needs to understand and oversee the system.
The named engineer
You work with the person who builds it.
