Ship & Sleep / AI Consulting
AI advice from people who run the consequences.
Most AI consulting ends at the slide deck. Ours starts from the other end: we operate AI-built software for a living, so we advise from what survives production — not from what demos well.
What we advise on
Build with AI — but which way?
Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or a contractor using all three: what fits your team, your data, and your risk. Including the honest answer "buy the SaaS, don't build" when that's true — we don't bill more when you build more, so we don't have to lie to you.
Guardrails before rollout
Where AI output needs human sign-off, how customer data stays out of prompts, what your team may and may not automate. Practical rules on one page, not a 40-page policy nobody reads.
From prototype to production
The gap where AI projects die. We map what your prototype is missing — monitoring, backups, auth, the boring half — and either hand you the checklist or take the pager ourselves.
Fixed scope, written outcome
Engagements are quoted fixed after intake and end in a written recommendation you can act on without us. If acting on it means operations, you already know how we contract.
Advice that survives contact with production.
Why operators make better consultants
Ask the people who carry the pager.
Two lines about your situation, a straight answer within two business days — including "you don't need consulting" when you don't.
