Professional Services
Cut the unbillable work. Keep what you know.
Proposals drafted in hours, not days. Client intake that tracks itself. Institutional knowledge that stays when people leave.
We are new. We do not have a roster of managing partners to show you. What we have is a model: start with one unbillable workflow, project the recovered hours honestly, deliver in a fixed sprint, and stay accountable after launch.

Where we focus
Four workflows that drain billable time
Each is a documented, solvable problem. The question is which one to tackle first.
Proposals and decks take 10 hours that do not bill
We build proposal generation workflows that pull from your existing project library, match scope to past analogues, and produce a structured first draft. Your team edits and positions — they stop writing from scratch.
Utilization tracking is always a week behind
We automate time entry reminders, connect your project management system to your billing platform, and surface utilization by person and project in a live dashboard — so you catch under-billing before the invoice goes out.
Client intake is a manual back-and-forth
Onboarding new clients means emails, forms, follow-ups, and document requests spread across inboxes. We build structured intake workflows that track what is outstanding, send reminders automatically, and route completed documents to the right place.
Institutional knowledge lives in people's heads
When a senior partner leaves or a consultant moves off a client, the project knowledge goes with them. We build AI-assisted knowledge bases that surface past work, precedents, and playbooks from your existing files — making institutional memory searchable.
Illustrative scenario
What this looks like for a mid-size consulting firm
A representative scenario — not a specific client. It shows how the engagement model applies to a common pain in the sector.
Illustrative · Representative, not a specific client
A 20-person management consulting firm wins work from a mix of inbound leads and referrals. Every engagement starts with a proposal. Senior consultants spend 8–12 hours per proposal — researching past projects, assembling scope, writing the approach section — before any billable work begins.
We start with the proposal workflow. Map every step. Identify which parts draw on past project files: approach sections, scope templates, team bios. Build a retrieval system that surfaces the three most relevant past proposals when a new one starts, plus a draft generator that assembles a structured first version.
The goal is not to remove the senior consultant from the process. It is to remove the blank-page problem. The engagement runs 6 weeks at a fixed cost. After launch, proposal time drops and senior hours go to client work.
How we work
Four commitments on every engagement
Not aspirational. Operational.
One workflow first
We start with the process costing your team the most unbillable time. We map it, estimate the savings in hours per week or per engagement, and get your sign-off before we build anything.
ROI before you pay
Before the sprint begins, you see a documented estimate: unbillable hours recovered, at your blended staff rate. If the math does not work, we say so.
Fixed sprint, known cost
The engagement runs 4–8 weeks with a fixed price. No open-ended retainers. You know the cost before we start.
Post-build monitoring
After launch, we monitor for drift. Source data formats change, integrations update, edge cases appear — we stay on it so your team does not have to.
Our commitment
Know the ROI before you pay.
Every engagement is fixed-scope with the return projected before you commit — the kind a finance team can underwrite. If the ROI math doesn't work, we say so.

Canadian grant angle
Federal, provincial, and regional programs may offset part of the cost of an engagement like this for a Canadian firm. Eligibility, amounts, and timing are determined by the program administrator — not by us, and we will never promise an approval. What we do: scope the work first, and if a program plausibly fits, structure the deliverables so the paperwork is clean.
