How it works

How your company gets a private AI it actually uses.

Both assessments are done remotely, by video and phone. Nobody travels.

For entrepreneurs, founders, and executives, privacy comes first: your business data stays with your own AI. The Cloud-Hosted Private AI Assessment is $4,500; the In-Building Private AI Assessment is $9,500.

Part 1 · The Sovereign Stack

AI that lives where your data lives.

NVIDIA and Apple hardware hosted in the United States. Cloud runs in a US data center. In-Building runs in your building. Nothing your team types, uploads, or asks reaches a public AI provider.

USA-sourced open-weight models, trained on your documents, your process, and your voice.

What’s inside

Your knowledge, connected.

The system works from approved templates, memo formats, company policies, and documents, so drafts can reflect your company’s formats and language.

Access based on role.

Leadership, managers, and staff each see only what they should.

Audit logging on every query.

Complete records of who asked what and when. The deployment record documents the agreed retention settings.

Encrypted everywhere.

Encrypted at rest and in transit. Cloud uses a secured connection. In-Building is isolated from the public internet except for controlled updates.

Hardware managed for you.

NVIDIA and Apple hardware hosted in the United States. Equipment, support, and planned refresh responsibilities are quoted in your assessment.

Part 2 · The Absorption Method

The part that turns a tool into a working habit.

The full 90-day Absorption Method, with champions and the dashboard, is the in-building firm program. Cloud includes setup, training on your documents, and monthly change work.

Weeks 1 to 2

Baseline

We measure how long your three target workflows actually take today: document drafting, document summarization, and client communications. Real numbers, not guesses.

Review posture: Every draft reviewed line by line. The AI has earned nothing yet.

Weeks 3 to 6

Redesign

We rebuild each workflow with AI in the loop, train internal champions in each department, and make the new way the easy way.

Review posture: Review against sources. Your reviewer checks where the answer came from, not every sentence.

Weeks 7 to 12

Habits and proof

Weekly office hours, friction removal, and live tracking of hours recovered per professional. By day 90, the dashboard shows the delta, in hours and dollars.

Review posture: Spot-check on workflows with high acceptance; full review on anything going to a client.

After ninety days you decide, workflow by workflow, where to relax review and where never to. That decision is yours, on your data.

Part 3 · Managed AI

We run the system. Your team stays focused on its work.

Model updates, security patches, and monitoring, handled remotely
New use cases added each quarter as your team’s confidence grows
AI-system documentation as your deployment evolves; for professional firms, WISP documentation coordinated with your Qualified Individual
A quarterly business review with one headline number: hours returned, and what they were worth

The dashboard

If it isn’t measured, it didn’t happen.

The in-building firm program includes a leadership-readable dashboard: usage by team, hours saved per professional per week, acceptance without correction, per workflow, and workflow-level detail. The table below is illustrative.

Team	Active professionals	Hours returned / person / week	Leading workflow
Audit & assurance	12	4.6	Workpaper summaries
Tax	10	3.9	Client communications
Advisory	8	5.2	Document drafting

Your dashboard also shows how often drafts were accepted without correction, per workflow.

Illustrative dashboard data. Your dashboard uses your company’s measured baselines and observed usage.
