Production AI systems, from the person who builds them.
Two ways in. Start with a focused Intensive to map the work and prove the case, or go straight to a build. Either way you deal with the operator who ships the systems, not a deck.
Same scope and deliverables either way. In person buys a sharper day.
Operator-built · 2026
Five ways I build. Priced and scoped up front.
The Intensive is the front door. When it is time to build, the work runs through one of these.
AI Workflow Automation
From $8kTurn manual, multi-tool workflows into AI systems with approvals and dashboards.
Customer-Service & Voice Agents
From $20kA custom support or voice agent you own outright, not a per-resolution subscription.
AI Agent Development
From $30kBounded AI agents with tools, permissions, logs, and evals. Not fragile demos.
AI Production Systems
From $45kTake an AI prototype to a real system: data, interfaces, infra, and a control layer.
Fractional AI CTO
From $12k/moEmbedded AI product leadership: direction, architecture, and accountability for the build.
The AI Systems Intensive. Two ways to run it.
01 / Premium card
A working day with the operator who ships the systems, not a strategy presentation handed off.
Pressure-tested against your real stack, real constraints, and real team. You leave with the map and the plan, not a deck.
Sharper, distraction-free day.
Four moving parts, wrapped around one focused day.
From the brief to a plan you can ship.
Four moves, one engagement. Each stage has its own deliverables, small enough to verify, sequenced so the next one always lands deeper.
Stage 01 starts the moment you book.
Pre-work audit
I review your stack, workflows, and goals before the day, so we start deep, not at zero.
Live working day
A full day, just us, mapping AI systems and pressure-testing them against your real constraints.
Plan + map
You leave with a clear systems map and a sequenced 30-day priority plan.
14-day follow-up
Two weeks of async access for course-corrections as you start executing.
Operator, not consultant. The map comes from the practice.
The systems we map are the ones I run in production myself. I build AI products first, then bring the patterns that survive to your work.
Most AI pilots stall because they're designed in slide decks, by people who have never had to deploy under real constraints. MIT Project NANDA's 2025 State of AI in Business put numbers on it.
Externally-built AI reaches deployment ~3× more often than internal builds. ~95% of pilots show no P&L return. The gap is the operator, not the model.

No slide decks.
A working day with the person who builds the systems, not a strategy presentation handed off.
Operator, not consultant.
The systems we map are the ones I run in production myself, not slides about someone else's work.
Compressed, not stretched.
One day plus follow-up, built to give a six-week engagement's clarity in a fraction of the time.
Who this is for. And who it isn't.
Three signals each way. Read both columns, and the page sells itself or it doesn't.
Past the should-we question.
You're a founder or operator who has stopped debating whether to use AI. You need a concrete plan to ship it.
You want operator clarity.
From the person who actually ships the systems, not a slide-deck consultant or a Big-4 analyst.
You can act on the plan.
Decision-maker authority. Once the plan lands, you can move on it without a six-month committee detour.
You want done-for-you.
Skip the Intensive and go straight to the DVNC venture that matches your work. The map is upstream of the build.
AI isn't a priority yet.
Early-stage or exploring? Read the blog first, and come back when shipping the systems becomes the goal.
You want long discovery.
This is a one-day intensive, built to compress months of discovery into a day, not stretch it out.
The Intensive gives you the map. The DVNC ventures build it. Go straight to the one that fits.

Start with a short call. Straight answer either way.
We confirm fit, scope the pre-work, and put a date on the calendar. The call is the application.
