Task-Driven Builders with Local Roots

We turn bottlenecks into running systems. Four partners. One cohesive delivery unit.

We tailor scope based on discovery. Everything below is illustrative until we confirm fit together.

Mission and Vision

Mission: Deliver measurable business value through pragmatic automation, data, and AI. Ship the smallest slice that works, then scale it safely.

Vision: A trusted Atlantic Canadian studio known for clear outcomes, durable capability transfer, and respectful collaboration.

Team collaboration

1

Discovery

Duration: 1-2 weeks

We assess your processes, define success metrics, and scope the minimum viable solution that delivers measurable value.

Deliverables:
  • Automation candidates ranked by impact
  • Baseline metrics agreed with stakeholders
  • Technical feasibility assessment
  • Risk analysis and mitigation plan
  • MVP scope and timeline estimate

"We don't build anything until we understand your pain points and success criteria"

engineering

"Architecture first, then rapid prototyping with real data"

2

Design & Build

Duration: 2-6 weeks

We draft the architecture, configure automation workflows, and instrument comprehensive telemetry for observability.

Deliverables:
  • System architecture diagrams
  • Working prototype with real data
  • Audit trails and logging framework
  • Human-in-the-loop interfaces
  • Infrastructure as code (IaC)
3

Pilot & Validate

Duration: 2-4 weeks

Run the solution side-by-side with existing processes. Measure actual ROI, train users, and refine based on real feedback.

Deliverables:
  • ROI dashboard with live metrics
  • User training sessions completed
  • Performance benchmarks vs. baseline
  • Exception handling playbooks
  • Go/no-go decision readout
analytics

"Proof with data, not promises—we measure every claim"

trending_up

"Expand confidently with patterns that already work"

4

Scale & Govern

Duration: Ongoing

Expand to new use cases, additional teams, and higher volumes. Establish governance, security guardrails, and change processes.

Deliverables:
  • Governance framework and policies
  • Security audits and compliance docs
  • Scaled infrastructure (auto-scaling)
  • Runbooks for common scenarios
  • Change management procedures
5

Operate & Optimize

Duration: Optional ongoing support

Continuous improvement, enablement, and optional managed support. Your team owns the system—we're here when you need us.

Deliverables:
  • Performance monitoring dashboards
  • Monthly optimization recommendations
  • Team enablement sessions
  • Incident response playbooks
  • Clear exit/handoff documentation

Our Core Principles

speed
MVP First

Ship the smallest solution that delivers value. Validate with real data before scaling.

school
Capability Transfer

Build your team's skills throughout. You should be self-sufficient when we're done.

insights
Measure Everything

Baseline metrics, pilot data, ROI dashboards. Decisions backed by evidence, not opinions.
