AI consulting

AI that ships.
Built with people who use it.

We help mission-driven organizations move past AI theatre — pilots that stall, strategies that gather dust, vendors that promise the moon — and into AI that earns its keep.

What we do

Four ways we partner with you.

Engagements that flex from a focused two-week sprint to multi-quarter operating partnerships.

01

AI Opportunity Diagnostic

A two- to four-week assessment that maps where AI will actually move the needle in your organization — and just as importantly, where it won't.

  • → Workflow audit across teams
  • → Prioritized AI opportunity map
  • → ROI estimates and build/buy/wait calls
  • → 90-day action plan
02

Rapid Prototyping

Working AI prototypes in weeks, not quarters. We pair design and engineering to put something real in your team's hands fast.

  • → Working prototype in 4–6 weeks
  • → User testing with your real team
  • → Honest read on what to build, kill, or hand off
  • → Production handoff plan
03

Adoption & Change

The human side of rolling out AI inside a working team — training, internal champions, and the conversations leadership often skips.

  • → Team-level rollout playbook
  • → Manager & champion enablement
  • → Policy, ethics, and guardrail design
  • → Quarterly check-ins
04

Fractional Product Leadership

Operator-level guidance for teams without an in-house AI lead. Patrick steps in as a fractional CPO/CTO equivalent on your roadmap.

  • → Weekly cadence with leadership
  • → Hands-on roadmap and team building
  • → Vendor selection and partnerships
  • → Minimum 3-month engagements
How we work

A pragmatic, four-phase loop.

Most engagements move through these in some order. None of them get skipped.

Phase 01

Listen

Frontline interviews and a workflow audit. We figure out what the work actually looks like before we touch a model.

Phase 02

Frame

We pick two or three bets. Defined as crisp problem statements with measurable outcomes — not vibes.

Phase 03

Build

Working prototypes in your team's hands within weeks. We learn loudly and iterate without ego.

Phase 04

Land

Handoff to production — with the training, governance, and operating cadence that makes it stick.

Who we work with

Mission-led organizations that take their work seriously.

We have a soft spot for teams operating where the margin for error is thin — healthcare, human services, education, civic tech, climate, and impact-focused enterprises.

If your work has real consequences for real people, we are very probably the right partner. If you want AI for the sake of AI, we are not.

✓

Healthcare & Human Services

Frontline-heavy organizations where AI must respect the human in the room.

✓

Education & Workforce

Teams who need AI that augments learning instead of replacing it.

✓

Civic Tech & Public Sector

Where accuracy, accessibility, and accountability are non-negotiable.

✓

Climate & Impact Enterprises

Mission-driven operators measuring more than shareholder return.
