Most AI consulting is either pamphlets for the Fortune 50 or vibes from a Twitter feed. We sit in between — building working systems for local businesses, safety scaffolding for growing companies, and structured risk reduction for the large institutions that can't afford a headline.
Local businesses with a real workflow to optimize, or a niche AI product idea worth testing in market. Fast, fixed-price, finished in weeks not quarters.
Up to 500 employees, IT and Security under pressure, the business desperate to innovate. We install the guardrails that let everyone build without breaking things.
Large institutions deploying AI where the stakes are public, regulated, and reputational. We do the unglamorous risk and optimization work that prevents the front-page incident.
You run a local business, a specialty practice, or a small product company. You see exactly where AI could save five hours a week — or open a whole new line — but every consultant pitches a six-month engagement and a deck. We pitch a working thing in four to six weeks, fixed price, you own the code.
Three hours on-site or on Zoom. We map your workflow, identify the two or three places AI moves a real number, and leave you with a scoped proposal you can act on — or take elsewhere.
A working automation, internal tool, or AI-powered feature, shipped to production in four to six weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price, weekly demos. You keep the code, the prompts, and the playbook.
You have an idea for an AI product in your industry. We help you validate it, build the v1, and get it in front of five paying customers in eight weeks. Equity option available for the right concept.
Ideal if you're 5–50 people, can decide in a week, and would rather see a prototype than a roadmap.
Book the Discovery →Somewhere between fifty and five hundred people, the tension shows up: a CFO who wants AI productivity gains, a CISO who wants their job, and a marketing director who's already pasted client data into ChatGPT three times this week. We come in and make those three people allies, not enemies.
Two weeks. We interview leadership, audit your current AI use (sanctioned and shadow), map your data exposure, and deliver a prioritized roadmap with concrete next steps. Includes a board-ready summary.
A 90-day program that combines hands-on workshops for employees with technical guardrails for IT: approved tooling, scoped connectors, data classification, prompt libraries. Everyone gets to invent. Nothing gets exfiltrated.
One of our senior engineers embeds with your team for a quarter, shipping two or three internal AI tools alongside your people and leaving behind the patterns and infrastructure for them to keep building.
Ideal if you're 50–500 people, have a Head of IT or CISO, and want innovation that survives an audit.
Request the Readiness scope →For large institutions, the question isn't whether to deploy AI. It's how to do it without ending up in a regulator's report or a Bloomberg headline. We sit alongside your team and do the unglamorous work: audits, scoped connectors, audit logs, red-team harnesses, the things that don't make announcements but make deployments survive contact with reality.
A four-week audit of one or more production AI deployments. We red-team your connectors, review your audit logs, test your guardrails, and deliver a findings report mapped to NIST AI RMF and your regulatory regime.
Three private sessions with your board, executive committee, or risk function. Tailored to your industry. Equal parts current threat landscape, peer benchmarking, and the strategic questions your leadership should be asking — but probably isn't.
A senior partner on retainer for one to two days a week, advising your AI/ML, risk, or transformation leadership. Quarterly deep-dives, weekly office hours, a private channel, and the optimization work nobody else has time to do.
Ideal if you're 500+ employees, regulated, and your last AI incident wasn't theoretical.
Request a confidential briefing →coworker. Topic class: compensation/hours. Routed to stricter handling."checking team capacity for Q3 planning". The stated purpose is logged against the session ID.Confidential — HR, and the connector respects it."The interesting work in AI isn't theatrical. For some clients it's shipping a working thing in six weeks. For others it's six small classifiers and a sensible audit log. We do whichever you need — and we'll tell you which one that is on the first call."— Denkwerk, founding letter
