SolutionsCapability

Ask your business a question. Get an answer from your own numbers.

Every owner runs on questions — what's actually profitable, which jobs to stop taking, what to charge next year — and the answers sit in systems that don't talk to each other. We wire them together and put an analyst on top that answers from your data, not from generic advice.

What we build
01

One source of truth

Bookings, invoices, calls, and marketing joined into a single picture of the business.

02

Plain-English answers

Ask what's busy, what's slipping, and what changed — get the answer with the numbers behind it.

03

Pricing analysis

What each job type actually costs and returns, so price changes stop being guesses.

04

A monthly number

One report: what moved, why, and what to do about it.

The data half

Juliana Alves, our principal AI engineer and data scientist, has built data solutions across banking and finance, UX research, and biological genetics — and leads AI programs end to end, from gathering the data to something a whole company runs on.

Common questions

What owners ask before they commit.

Do I need clean data before this is worth doing?
No — getting the data usable is part of the work, not a prerequisite you have to solve first. Most small businesses have messy data spread across three or four tools, and that is the normal starting point rather than a disqualifier.
How is this different from a dashboard?
A dashboard shows you the numbers someone decided in advance you would want; this answers the question you actually have today. You ask in plain English and get the answer with its workings, instead of hunting for a chart that nearly fits.
What does it cost?
Deeper consulting and solution builds start at $1,000. What drives the price is how many systems hold your data and what condition it is in. You get a fixed quote after the free Leak Report.
Can I trust an AI with financial questions?
Only if every answer shows its working, which is how we build it. The system cites the underlying records for any figure it gives, so you can check it — and where the data cannot support a confident answer, it says so instead of inventing one.
Is my business data used to train an AI model?
No. Your data is used to answer your questions and nothing else, and we will put that in writing as part of the engagement.
