Stop renting the way your business runs.
AI keeps redrawing the terrain every business runs on. We're forward deployed engineers who replace the SaaS you rent with systems built around how you actually operate. You own it all from day one, and the license fees stop for good.

The first contract we replace funds the work.
A typical mid-market SaaS receipt — and what happens to it when you own the platform instead.
Your annual SaaS receipt
Your owned platform
One build, one investment. Yours from day one, no meter running.
- Exactly what you want, not a template
- Your data in one place, queryable
- AI workflows that actually work — it's your system
- Built on Baseplate, our standard parts. Licensed to you forever, free
Illustrative stack-cost model based on common mid-market SaaS categories. Actual savings depend on seats, contract terms, and what gets replaced.
You rented the way your business runs.
Everyone buys the same software. Nobody runs the same business.
Shaped by a template
The processes that make you money follow a vendor's template, not your operating logic.
On someone else's servers
Scattered across systems you can't query, governed by terms you didn't write.
Waiting on a roadmap
A change that should take days waits quarters on a vendor's backlog.
The advantage right now is being good at AI, and that is nearly impossible on rented systems you can't change or query. Tomorrow, when everyone runs the same models, the edge is what only you know, in systems only you own.
Replace it. Teach it what you know. Build what doesn't exist.
SaaS replacement
One painful system at a time, rebuilt around how you actually operate. Yours from day one.
Model-agnostic agents
Agents built systematically, against KPIs you understand: your context, your knowledge, your workflows, running on swappable frontier models, or local models where it counts. Beholden to no one.
Exploratory AI
Applied AI where no playbook exists yet. Scoped experiments that grow into owned systems.
Most engagements run left to right
We've built these parts before.
Every business system needs the same plumbing: sign-in, permissions, records, billing, reports. We keep hardened versions of all of it, a library we call the Baseplate, and every build starts there. Working software shows up sooner, and your money goes to the part of the system that is uniquely yours.
At handover everything ships as source code in your repository: the custom work yours outright, the Baseplate parts under a permanent free license we can never revoke. No fees, ever.
A small senior team, forward deployed in your business.
Practitioners who have run companies like yours, operators who know the workflows, and engineers who ship every day, with a wider specialist network behind them. AI leverage is why a handful of the right people now does work that took a hundred, and why you will know everyone's name.
Agents write much of the code. A human who understands it ships it: what changed, why, and where it breaks, with the laptop closed. That rule is the whole quality system.
How an engagement actually runs, step by step from intake to handover, lives on the How We Work page →
Every engagement is built to end.
We work ourselves out of a job. When the system ships, you pick the exit, and we genuinely don't care which.
If all three paths are viable, we built the right thing. If none is, we delivered a dependency — the very thing you hired us to remove.
Decades shipping at the intersection of strategy and engineering.
