From concept to P&L

Three ideas everyone talks about. Three results a CFO can count.

AI agents, workforce intelligence, AI search: the words are everywhere. Here is what each one looked like once we built it for a real client, largest first.

The conceptAn AI research analyst

Every prospect used to be researched by hand. We built a prospect analyzer that pulls each target company’s financials (market cap, debt, cash), scores its fit from 0 to 100 against the firm’s lending criteria, finds the CEO and CFO, and drafts a personalized outreach letter with Claude. The output lands in Excel and Word.

Small business · the AI Front Door

Chris David Salon

The conceptBeing the business AI recommends

Customers now ask ChatGPT and Gemini who to hire. This one-chair color specialist in Delray Beach was well reviewed, yet no AI assistant named him. We rebuilt the website as an AI Front Door that speaks to customers, Google and AI assistants at once, and re-optimizes itself every week.

What could AI return for you

Put in your numbers. See the size of the prize.

No industry averages, no benchmarks. Just your team, your hours and your costs.

Reports, data entry, research, copying between systems, first drafts.
Salary plus benefits and overhead, per hour.

20 people × 5 hours a week × 48 working weeks × 30% = 1,440 hours a year.

1,440 hours × $75 an hour = $108,000 a year.

These are your numbers, not a promise; we’ll test them on a call. Assumes 48 working weeks a year; a full-time role is 40 hours × 48 weeks.

How we engage

Scoped to a number before we start. Working in about eight weeks.

No fixed packages and no slide decks. Every engagement is sized to a measurable result on one 30-minute call, built with your team, and handed over so you own it.

  1. 01 · Call

    One 30-minute call

    We map your first AI opportunity and leave you with three plays you can run this quarter, whether or not you hire us.

  2. 02 · Scope

    Agree the number

    Engagements are scoped to your goals, not sold as a fixed package. Most clients start with a focused pilot on one department or work stream, prove the return, then expand.

  3. 03 · Build

    Working systems, not decks

    We build with your team, department by department. Our average time to a working deployment is about eight weeks, with measurable wins in the first few weeks rather than one big launch.

  4. 04 · Hand over

    Your team owns it

    We work with your team, not around it, and build internal champions so the capability stays when we are done. The goal is independence, not dependency.

This site is the demo

Designed and built with Claude Code.

The same way we build client systems: a written brief, real data, and a check on every claim before it ships. The 3D hero, the three client visualizations and the calculator were written for this page with Claude Code, with no page builder and no template. If AI can do this for a website, ask what it could do inside your workflows.

Questions executives ask

Straight answers before we ever talk.

What do you actually do?

We turn AI into results you can measure. Three ways: AI strategy and transformation for leadership teams and private-equity portfolios; secure private AI that runs inside your own environment, for finance and healthcare; and the AI Front Door, which gets a business recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google. We build working systems, not slide decks.

Who have you done this for?

Horizon Technology Finance, a publicly traded venture lender (an AI prospect analyzer), and Chris David Salon in Delray Beach (the AI Front Door). Advisory and consulting clients include Goldman Sachs, Investcorp, Sumeru Equity Partners, LLR Partners and Shure. Founder Stuart Kerr has spent 30+ years building companies, including two IPOs and a $400M exit.

How fast can you deliver?

Weeks, not quarters. We scope every engagement to a measurable number first, and our average time to a working deployment is about eight weeks.

What return should we expect?

We agree the number before we start. For Horizon Technology Finance, prospect research that took analysts 6 to 9 hours per 100 companies now takes about 15 minutes. For Chris David Salon, the AI assistants that name the business went from 0 of 10 to 9 of 10. Use the calculator on this page to size your own case, then we will test it together. The method is written up in How to scope an AI project to a P&L number.

Can our data stay private?

Yes. For regulated or sensitive work we deploy models and document search inside your own environment, so the data does not go to a public AI service. Our technology can be HIPAA and FINRA compliant out of the box.
