What we build

Working tools for the money-adjacent chores that leak — like the margin report that only runs when your sharpest person has time — built inside the software a business already runs.

Each build is one tool for one named chore: reading order documents into the ERP, checking invoices against purchase orders, running the numbers nobody has time to run. A person on your team approves anything that changes a record, and the tool does the same work every morning.

The rebate-and-margin tool we built inside Kelsan is the one we show first: it uses AI to read the rebate terms in a distributor's contracts and check every line item against them, every day /k-1/. Ten production systems run our own family of companies — meetings, weekly KPIs, CRM records, daily monitoring — and that tool is the flagship /systems/.

The choice

Advisors assess. Platforms rent. Builders build.

Advisors

An assessment ends in a report and a recommendation. The report can tell you margin slipped last quarter; it can't chase a line item the next morning.

Platforms

A platform runs in the vendor's cloud, priced per seat, billed monthly, forever. Stop paying and it stops working. You never own the thing doing the work.

Builders

A build ends with a working tool inside your own software, handed over to your team, with training.

You already have advisors worth keeping. What you don't have is a builder.

The sequence

Every engagement runs the same way, and every one starts with the AI Capability Audit. We don't sell a build without one.

The auditThe AI Capability Audit is $7,500, fixed. You get a build-or-don't-build verdict and a spec you keep either way — worth having especially if the verdict is don't build.

The buildThe Build Sprint is a focused build of the one tool the audit specced. Every build is a fixed fee, agreed in writing before work starts.

IntegrationIntegration is the wiring: the tool goes inside the software you already run and reads the same records your people do. It runs in your tenant.

Ongoing supportThe Fractional AI Team is the optional ongoing arrangement — we maintain what we built and take on the next chore when one earns it.

Ownership

You own what we build. Handed over, with training. No per-seat rent, no proprietary platform. The tool calls an AI model to do the reading. That usage is metered, like any cloud service, and we put the monthly number in writing before a build starts. The one-page version for your IT people is at /security/.

Software needs maintenance. Here's what's yours to run, and here's the optional support arrangement if you'd rather not.

There are two or three of us. Scoping and building are the same person's job — there's no one to hand it off to.

What we build

The first step

One tool, one chore, one fixed fee — and the audit tells us whether it's worth building at all.
