The AI Readiness Collection

The Thunk Box

Everything we know about solving problems for 50% of the annual cost. Research reports, frameworks, and tools for mid-market leaders navigating AI and automation.

The Offer

A detailed executive-level report on how to eliminate a business problem for less than 50% of its annual cost.

If the math doesn't work, we don't proceed.

Why This Works Now

The math has changed. Here's what that means for you.

What We Do

Elite Software Architects + AI leverage = Solutions in weeks at ~10x lower cost.

Why Now

The math flipped. Fixing problems now costs less than tolerating them.

The Hidden Cost

Manual work, workarounds, and bottlenecks quietly drain money and growth.

What This Means

Every manual workaround is a mistake waiting to happen. Every bottleneck is a resignation waiting to happen.

The Opportunity

Fix one bottleneck. Free up capacity. Use that capacity to fix the next one. Repeat.

The Next Step

A 17-minute call to quantify what's worth fixing.
