In the age of AI, companies risk outsourcing the intelligence that makes them unique. We help you keep your data, your processes, and your thinking in-house, so your AI works for you, not the other way around.
Most AI implementations skip the data layer entirely — that's why they fail. Your data already exists; AI just can't read it yet. We build the foundation most vendors skip, so your AI actually works.
Most AI implementations fail before they start — not because the model is wrong, but because the data layer isn't ready. Your operational data is locked in legacy systems, spreadsheets, and unstructured exports. We build the structured foundation first, so AI tools have something coherent to work with from day one. Your data exists. AI just can't read it yet. We fix that first.
Sensitive workflows run against local open-source models on your hardware. General tasks use commercial models. We use Mastra to switch between providers seamlessly — Hetzner GPU infrastructure where data privacy matters, commercial APIs where speed does. You're never locked in, and your sensitive data never leaves your environment.
Most AI providers train on the data you send them. If your processes flow through a closed-source API, you're funding your own competitive disadvantage. We sandbox AI agents away from your live systems — your workflows, your processes, your institutional knowledge stays inside your perimeter. You own the data layer — not just access to it. That's not a setting. It's the architecture.
Before any build, we map your data flows and prioritise what matters most. Which systems hold the most value? Where does structure break down? What's sensitive, what's already usable, and what needs integration work? In five days, you'll have a prioritised data map and AI readiness assessment — before we write a line of code. A clear starting point, not another slide deck.
Sound familiar? Let's map out a path forward.
Book a 30-minute callThe same process, every engagement. Built on three principles — complete security and control over your data (what we call data sovereignty by default), local-first storage-agnostic architecture, and bespoke integration to your actual operations. We agree on success metrics before we write a line of code. The output is an asset that compounds — a structured data layer your whole business runs on, that gets more valuable as you add to it.
We audit how information moves across your operations — which systems hold what, where structure breaks down, and which workflows carry the most risk from an AI perspective. We identify what's sensitive, what's already usable, and what needs integration work. Output: a prioritised data map and AI readiness assessment.
We pull your data from external services into a structured local environment — a sandbox your AI works against, not your live systems. No AI agent calls your APIs directly. No data is pushed to third-party model providers unless you explicitly allow it. Your workflows are isolated from external services by design.
Sensitive workflows run against local open-source models on your infrastructure. General tasks use commercial models. We use Mastra to switch between providers seamlessly — you're never locked in, and your sensitive data never leaves your environment. Each model is matched to the workflow based on your risk profile, not convenience.
Before we ship anything, we agree on concrete KPIs — adoption rates, query accuracy, hours saved, compliance coverage, cost reduction. Every engagement ends with measurable outcomes, not slide decks. We review against those targets at each milestone and adjust before committing the next phase of work.
AI-Ready Business Modules
Built and production-tested across MakerDAO and the Sky ecosystem. Each module ships as a typed data layer, a live GraphQL API, and a UI editor — ready for your AI tools to query from day one. No ETL, no bespoke modelling, no waiting.
Don't see what you need? We scope and build custom modules to fit your operations.
Chart of accounts, transaction ledgers, billing cycles, payment terms, and expense reporting — wired together and audit-ready from day one.
Invoices, expense claims, and point-in-time snapshots — structured for compliance, reconciliation, and historical audit.
Scopes of work, RFP pipelines, and workstreams — so projects, milestones, and deliverables live in structured, queryable data.
The full lifecycle of a service — from catalog and pricing tiers to active subscriptions and provisioned resource tracking.
Builder profiles, operational hubs, and network entities — the identity layer for contributors, teams, and the organisations they work within.
On-chain treasury distribution — structured for governance transparency and financial accountability across decentralised organisations.
We design and ship custom business modules to fit your specific workflows — from first requirements to a typed, AI-queryable module in production. Same process, same infrastructure, built to your spec.
Our work
Marketplace for Network Organisations
A coordination marketplace built for network organisations globally — connecting service providers, subscribers, and coordinators across decentralised structures. Built on structured, local-first document infrastructure: every workflow, subscription, and financial record is typed, queryable, and auditable by any tool from day one.
Treasury & Financial Transparency
Financial transparency infrastructure for the Sky ecosystem — structured expense reporting, contributor payments, and budget tracking for one of the world's largest on-chain economies. Replaced ad-hoc spreadsheets with typed, auditable financial records that governance participants, auditors, and analytics tools can all query from a single source. Formerly expenses.makerdao.network.
Powerhouse — Open Data Layer
Designed and shipped 22 business modules inside Powerhouse Connect — spanning finance, billing, reporting, work management, services, and team identity. Each module is a typed document model with a UI editor, live GraphQL API, and an open schema any downstream tool can consume. Production-tested across the MakerDAO and Sky ecosystem.
First Achra Service Offering
The first live product in the Achra service offering suite — a subscribable operational hub for teams and working groups. Bridges network-level organisation with individual contributor identity, giving coordinators a structured home for team configuration, service subscriptions, and operational records. Launching this month.
The whole AI industry has a production level problem. BAI provided us a production-grade solution on top of which we run our local AI models. This cut time spent manually reviewing invoices by 65%.
