The No BS rules.

What we believe. What we won't pretend.

  1. 01Most AI roadmaps are theater. Most CEOs use AI less than an hour a week. Both should change in the next 90 days.
  2. 02Vendor pitches are not strategy. We pressure-test every claim before your CFO signs anything.
  3. 03Governance comes before scale. If you can't audit it, don't ship it.
  4. 04Operators beat consultants. We ship the agent, not the deck.
  5. 05Cost and latency are first-class citizens. Prompt caching, model tiering, evaluations — by design, not afterthought.
  6. 06Honest is faster. Tell the truth in the meeting, not the postmortem.

The work.

Two ways in. One conversation.
