A free AI-guided diagnostic for 50–500 person companies in A&E, construction, agencies, and professional services. Find what’s quietly costing you in about 10 minutes. When you’re ready to fix it, we build the specific tools your team owns when we leave.
A 110-person A&E firm. Strong delivery, but proposal and change-order cycles are quietly costing ~$340K/yr in margin.
Proposal assembly is rebuilding from scratch each RFP.
Senior PMs at 91% utilization. No bench.
Change orders bottleneck on principal approval.
Six tools, three sources of truth, no integration.
Realization tracked. Utilization isn't.
The stories are different at every company. The pattern is the same: revenue is fine, but margin is leaking, and the people who could fix it are too busy keeping the lights on.
Your COO is rebuilding the same spreadsheet she rebuilt last Friday. The data is in three systems. The reconciliation is in her head.
Two senior PMs are scraping last year's RFPs for boilerplate. Your win rate is 22%. Each pursuit costs roughly $14K in unbilled time.
It's been there five days, waiting on a principal who is in the field. The crew kept building. Now it's $48K of exposure no one priced.
She built the QA process. Nothing is documented. Her replacement starts in three weeks, if you can find one.
We’ve seen these moments at architecture firms, GCs, agencies, and consultancies. The Health Check finds yours in 10 minutes.
Start your Health Check“You can’t hand AI a company it can’t see.”
Most AI projects fail for one of three reasons: nobody drew the operation, the tool was too complex for the problem, or the team couldn’t run what got built. We work to keep all three from happening to you.
Most operations live in habit, not in any system. The Health Check is the smallest possible first sketch — about ten minutes, one perspective. When you want the fuller picture, we bring in your team. Knowing how the work actually moves is the prerequisite for any AI build that works.
Modern AI is closer to a senior employee than a junior one. Most builds fail because they over-engineer the scaffolding around the model and underuse what the model can actually do. We design AI tools the way you'd brief a good senior: clear goal, the right tools, room to figure out the steps.
Every tool we build, your team owns. Every process we automate, your team can change. We don't create dependency. We measure success by how quickly you stop needing us.
Led by Scott Garretson. 20+ years in operations across professional services, construction, and manufacturing. Detroit-based, working with companies across the US.
The Health Check uses 11 industry-specific operational models. No generic frameworks, no MBA-speak.
About 10 minutes of industry-specific questions about how your operations actually run — staffing, workflows, decisions, delivery.

Your callMost companies start with the free Health Check. The next step is whatever the data tells us — not a pre-set upsell.
A confidential AI-guided assessment. Personalized scorecard, six area scores, one specific action this week.
The picture only emerges when more than one person draws it. Bring up to 5 colleagues in. You'll see where leadership and team disagree, work through the tensions together, and walk away with a prioritized action plan.
When the picture is clear, we build the few tools that fix the things quietly costing the most. AI agents, automations, and tools — your team owns them. On-site in Metro Detroit, remote for the right engagement.
We work with a small number of companies at a time so each gets real attention. Start with the free Health Check — no email obligation, no sales call.

“I’ve worked with Scott for years across pretty different chapters of my career, and he’s been the person I keep coming back to. Early on, he helped me figure out the basics of product development - building an MVP, landing those first customers, the stuff you don’t really learn until someone walks you through it. More recently, Scott was the one who pointed me toward the workflow automation role at the company I’m at now. The role is building internal AI tools that colleagues can actually use and helping people across the company become comfortable using AI to gain efficiencies in their own work. Scott has been hands-on through all of it - pressure-testing my ideas, helping me think through where AI actually fits versus where it doesn’t, and pushing me to think long-term about how to bring AI into processes that aren’t simple workflows by breaking them down into steps that are accomplishable. Scott gives you frameworks you can reuse, so you’re not just solving what’s in front of you but rather solving problems one by one to achieve a long term strategy.”
