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.
Senior technical leadership, without a full-time hire.
We own technical direction alongside your team: architecture, data, vendors, security and hiring. Decisions start at the data tier, because that’s where value compounds.
WHAT WE TAKE ON
Technical direction the whole company can follow.
- Architecture and roadmap
- Systems design and a roadmap tied to the capital plan. Build, buy and vendor decisions, with the trade-offs written down.
- Data and AI strategy
- A data model and semantic layer the business can trust, and a clear view of where AI earns its place.
- Diligence and governance
- Technical diligence for investors and boards, security posture, and the documentation a raise needs.
- Team and hiring
- Hiring plans, interviews and onboarding, so the people you hire can own what we start.
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.
