[ 001 ] AI FOR BUSINESS · LOS ALAMOS, CA
BUSINESS-FIRST. NO JARGON. NO BLOAT.
Practical AI for Los Alamos businesses.
Los Alamos has transformed from a quiet railroad town into one of California's most talked-about wine and food destinations. The main street strip of tasting rooms, restaurants, and boutiques serves a high-volume weekend tourism market.
We build useful tools that fit your existing workflows. Not a platform transformation, not a six-month project. Starts with a 1–2 week Audit. No commitment beyond.

Useful. Boring. Yours. [ 002 ]HOW WE WORK
Three engagements. No commitment until it works.
Every relationship starts with an Audit: a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement that maps your top friction points. Build only what's worth building.

[ 003 ]THE AUDIT
Two weeks. Four phases. One real plan.
Most consultants charge $25k for a deck. We charge $2.5k+ for a working roadmap with priced builds you can act on, or take to another shop if you'd rather.
01 / DAYS 1–2
Listen
Three to six interviews with you and the people doing the actual work. Goals, constraints, what's broken, what's working. We come prepared, you don't.
02 / DAYS 3–6
Watch
Shadow the workflows that came up. The CRM at 9am Monday. The reporting on Friday afternoon. The tool no one likes but everyone uses. We map it all.
03 / DAYS 7–10
Prescribe
Quick wins (no build needed) plus a prioritized list of small custom builds, each scoped, sized, and priced. Some you'll do. Some you won't.
04 / DAYS 11–14
Hand off
A 60-minute walkthrough of the roadmap with you and your team. You leave with a working document you can implement yourself, or hand back to us for the build phase.

[ 006 ]FAQ
The questions that always come up.
An Audit is two weeks of senior attention on your business: interviews, workflow shadowing, written deliverables, a 60-minute hand-off. The output is a real document with priced builds you can act on. Cheaper than two days of a typical consulting firm, and about a third of an entry-level engineer's monthly salary.
That's a perfectly good Audit outcome and it happens. If the right answer is "you need a checklist, not an agent" or "fix your CRM hygiene before adding tooling," that's what the deliverable says. We'd rather lose the upsell and keep the trust than build something that won't move the business.
Yes. Every tool lives in your accounts (your Google Workspace, your Anthropic/OpenAI key, your Airtable, etc.) under your credentials. We don't put anything between you and the AI provider.
Usually $50–$500/month per tool, depending on usage. We'll give you cost estimates in the Audit before you commit to anything, and we use the cheapest model that gets the job done, not the most impressive one.
