Preferred
Retainer
From $5,000 a month
Ongoing advice and engineering support for your team. Built for work that is open-ended or still taking shape.
Back-office IT, data and AI support for your team.
The Cyber Lab is our hands-on bench. We run the technical back office and build from the data tier up: storage, semantic layers, APIs and MCP servers, then the AI products on top.
WHAT THE LAB RUNS
Three benches, one data model underneath.
- Back-office IT & tech
- Cloud, identity, devices, security, observability and the integrations that keep the company running. Ask about IT
- Data tier & semantic layer
- Storage and persistence design, data models and pipelines, and a semantic layer that gives every tool the same definitions. Ask about data
- APIs, MCP & AI products
- APIs and MCP servers that open your systems to software and AI agents, and engineering support for the AI products built on them. Ask about APIs and AI
HOW WE WORK
From the data tier up.
Data tier first
We start with storage and persistence: what gets recorded, where it lives and who owns it. Everything else is built on that.
Semantic layer
One shared definition of your entities and metrics, so people, dashboards and agents read the same numbers.
API and MCP first
Every capability is an API before it is a screen, and an MCP tool so AI agents can use it safely.
The best UI is no UI
If a workflow can run on its own, it should. Where people do need a screen, it stays light and fast.
ENGAGEMENTS
Retainer first. Projects when the scope is fixed.

QUESTIONS
Before the first call.
Retainer or project?
Choose a retainer for ongoing advice and engineering support, especially when the scope is still taking shape. Choose a project when the outcome is fixed and can be scoped up front.
What does it cost?
Retainers start at $5,000 a month. Projects start at $20,000 over three months. Scope and price are confirmed in a proposal after the first call.
Do you work with our existing team?
Yes. Retainers are built around supporting the engineers, operators and vendors you already have.
Where are you based?
Fort Worth, Texas. We work with companies across North Texas.
Fort Worth first. North Texas impact.
Our goal is a larger local share of the AI and information-age economy: more technical founders, products, intellectual property, revenue, ownership and skilled jobs, created in Fort Worth and compounding across North Texas.
