What a partnership can look like
The work keeps getting better.
- 1
Understand
See where the office enters the same job details three times.
- 2
Improve
Connect the tools they use, then teach the new process.
- 3
Stay involved
Check the result, answer questions and choose the next improvement.
Illustrative example. Your priorities and capacity are agreed together.
You work with Kevin directly
Your business comes first.
I like getting into a business, asking questions and learning from the people doing the work. That’s how we find the improvements that actually matter.
If a feature you already pay for solves the problem, that’s where we start. If a ready-made tool is the best choice, I’ll recommend it. The recommendation should make sense for your business, even when it means less work for me.
— Kevin, founder of Ultramar Labs
Connect the work between systems
Help job details, customer information and updates move where they belong, with less copying and retyping.
Help your people use AI well
Work through real tasks together. Set up useful assistants, teach your team how to use them and leave a process they can repeat.
Make better buying decisions
Research software and equipment, compare the tradeoffs, and help with a change when it makes sense. Recommend the best fit for your business.
Put company knowledge to work
Bring useful records, processes and current work together so people can find answers with the right context and access.
Keep improving after the first fix
Choose the next priority together, carry out the agreed work and review what changed. Adjust the plan as your business changes.
Knowledge that stays with the business
Answers shouldn’t depend on who’s at work.
The answer might be in an old job, an email, a procedure or someone’s head. We can bring that information together and connect it to what’s happening now.
Your company knowledge explains how you do things. Current work adds what was decided, who’s responsible and what happens next. An assistant can use both, with access limited to what each person should see.
Preparing for testing
Private AI, built around your business.
We’re preparing to test AI setups that put your company’s knowledge to work, with greater control over where AI runs, who can access it, and how your data is handled.
A practical example
“What do we need to know before going back to this customer?”
- Previous work: the last job report and the issue the crew resolved.
- Today’s context: the customer’s latest request and access instructions.
- Next step: the assigned person and the work still waiting for approval.
With links back to the source records so your team can check the answer. We help maintain the connections and keep the process useful as the business changes.
Explore our capabilitiesSized to the work
A partnership that fits your business.
A smaller business might need a few focused improvements and someone to call before making a technology decision. A larger operation may need regular on-site time, training and ongoing implementation.
Smaller engagements may fit $500–$1,000/month.
The monthly fee depends on your priorities, the time involved and the support you need. More involved partnerships are quoted to match the work.
We agree the scope, cadence, capacity and review points before starting. Your proposal separates larger builds, travel, software subscriptions and usage costs. There’s no requirement to buy a custom app first.
Start with a Working Session
For $250, we work through one real problem and send a written Brief with options. The session credits toward a qualifying build or Field Study.
Try a focused improvement
When it helps, we quote an on-site implementation sprint: observe one person’s workflow, put a useful improvement in place, teach them to use it and compare the result. A wider discovery need may call for a Field Study instead.
Keep working together
Begin the ongoing relationship when there’s a useful reason to. You can go straight from the Working Session to a partnership; a sprint or software build isn’t a prerequisite.
Our focus is workflows, software, practical AI and helping people use technology. We can work alongside your IT provider for network, infrastructure and security needs. Care remains available for the agreed maintenance and support of a system we’ve built.
Let’s find your first useful improvement.
Start with a $250 Working Session: 60–90 minutes on your business, then a written Brief within 24 hours with practical options. You can choose an ongoing partnership without commissioning a software build.
