Real problems.
Real systems.
Selected engagements. Each one started with a decision that wasn't working and ended with a system that does.
From Reactive to Strategic — CEO Operating System
How a founder-CEO reclaimed 25 hours a week and lifted revenue 22% by installing a CEO Operating System with weekly decision rhythms and leverage-point auditing.
A founder-CEO was working 70-hour weeks, drowning in reactive decisions, and losing the strategic ground that had built the company. The harder they worked, the less leverage they had.
We installed a CEO Operating System — weekly decision rhythms, a leverage-point audit of where their time actually created value, and frameworks to separate the strategic from the merely urgent.
The CEO reclaimed 25 hours a week, shifted from firefighting to forward planning, and redirected freed capacity into the two decisions that actually moved revenue.
Knowledge Graph + RAG — AI Knowledge System
How a research-driven team collapsed query time from 2 hours to 5 minutes with a knowledge graph layered over a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline — a 40x ROI.
A research-driven team was spending two hours per query digging through scattered docs, past projects, and tribal knowledge. The information existed — it just wasn't retrievable.
We designed a knowledge graph layered with a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline — structuring the team's institutional knowledge into a queryable, compounding system.
Research time collapsed from two hours to five minutes. The system now compounds — every new document makes every future query sharper.
Doubled Revenue Without Doubling Effort — Partnership Leverage
How a services business grew from $600K to $1.1M without proportional headcount by applying leverage-point analysis and restructuring the partnership pipeline.
A services business had plateaued at $600K revenue. The founder was maxed out and assumed growth required scaling headcount — and cost — proportionally.
We applied leverage-point analysis to the business model and identified partnerships as the highest-leverage move — not hiring. We restructured the partnership pipeline and reframed the founder's role around the two relationships that mattered.
Revenue nearly doubled to $1.1M without proportional headcount or effort. The founder now spends time on the relationships that compound, not the tasks that don't.
Idea to $4.2K MRR in 90 Days — 90-Day Sprint
How a founder went from zero revenue after 18 months of building to $4.2K MRR in 90 days using inversion, ruthless MVP scope, and a weekly ship cadence.
A founder had been building for 18 months with zero revenue. Perpetual pre-launch, feature creep, and no clear path to the first paying customer.
We ran a 90-day sprint using inversion — defining what would guarantee failure and systematically avoiding it — paired with a ruthless minimum-viable scope and a weekly ship cadence.
From zero to $4.2K MRR in 90 days after 18 months of building with no revenue. The sprint installed a shipping rhythm that outlasted the engagement.
