The faces of interface
We help organizations develop the critical thinking needed to orchestrate complex workflows, implement real systems, and govern what gets built.
Start a ConversationBuild. Teach. Govern.
Build
Multi-agent systems, data pipelines, production infrastructure. We've reduced 160-hour processes to 5 minutes. We know what real implementation looks like, including the costs vendors don't mention and the failures that don't make it into case studies.
Teach
Abstract fundamentals that work regardless of which platforms emerge or fade. We focus on critical assessment of outputs and understanding principles rather than just procedures. When your team builds the first version themselves, they understand what they're working with.
Govern
Risk assessment, policy frameworks, and ethics considerations. Our research measures psychological patterns in AI systems that most evaluation methods miss entirely. This is the human judgment that technology can't replace.
Everyone's teaching prompt engineering, but that misses the harder problem entirely.
The real challenge is understanding how multiple humans and multiple AI systems collaborate. How do you know when an output is wrong? When should you build versus buy versus skip AI altogether? What does implementation actually cost in money, time, and organizational change?
These are systems questions, and they require systems thinking to answer.
We work at the intersection of three things most organizations treat as separate: building technical systems, developing workforce capabilities, and establishing governance. In practice, they're inseparable. Implementation works when your team understands it, governance works when you helped build it, and teaching works when you've actually done it yourself.
Learn First. Build Right.
We don't start by building. We start by understanding what actually needs to be built.
Your team works with existing tools on real problems while we observe where things break. Most “AI projects” shouldn't be AI projects, and that's useful information. The problems that genuinely require engineering, we engineer. The result is implementation your team understands and owns.
Organizations navigating real implementation
Organizations
Companies moving beyond pilots into production systems with actual users and actual stakes.
Education
Universities and colleges bridging the gap between what's taught and what industry actually needs, preparing students for implementation reality.
Research & Government
Institutions where compliance matters, data is sensitive, and the cost of getting it wrong is high.
What we're building and teaching
We're building compliance systems for complex regulatory environments and training technical teams at companies like KPMG, Colgate-Palmolive, and Pacific Life. We're also piloting assessment tools that measure implementation readiness, looking at whether teams can actually ship without burning resources rather than just whether they can write prompts.
We work with universities to develop curriculum that matches what employers actually need, and we run skill bridge programs that build capabilities lasting beyond the current technology cycle.
From briefings to implementation
Executive Briefing
60–90 minutesA clear-eyed look at what's real, what's coming, and what decisions need to be made now.
Implementation Readiness
Full dayBefore investing in new technology, understand your team's real capabilities and your organization's actual opportunities.
Technical Implementation
Scoped to needProduction systems for validated problems. We build what you've already proven matters.
Educator Programs
CustomHelping faculty understand what skills industry actually needs and develop curriculum that prepares students for real implementation.
Ongoing Advisory
MonthlyStrategic guidance, implementation support, and governance review on a continuing basis.
“The future isn't about humans versus AI, or even humans with AI. It's about understanding how multiple humans and multiple AI systems collaborate to create value.”
In a world where answers are cheap, questions become valuable. We teach people to ask better questions about what to build, when to build it, and whether to build it at all.
