Claude Implementation · For Small and Midsize Businesses

You have Claude. We make it work.

We help businesses move from experimenting with Claude
to running on it.

The problem

The hard part is implementation.

Claude is extraordinarily capable. The bottleneck is almost never the technology — it's fitting what Claude can do into the way your business actually runs.

Experimenting, not implementing

Occasional use that hasn't changed how the business runs.

Generic prompts, generic results

Configuration is what turns a general-purpose tool into yours.

No one owns it

Implementation falls between IT, operations, and whoever suggested it.

Where we come in
Your business already moves fast. With the right setup, Claude makes it even faster.

Named for Claude Shannon, the mathematician who founded information theory, we treat working with Claude as a learnable, systematic practice.

Services

Two ways to work with us.

Both include setup, both start with a conversation, and pricing is by proposal.

Education + consulting

Adopt

For teams that know AI matters but don't yet know where to start. We train your team, audit your workflows, and map what to move to Claude first.

  • Team training built around your use cases
  • Workflow audit across the business
  • Opportunity map with priorities
  • Consulting from kickoff to handoff
Pricing by proposal

Deployment + software

Build

For a specific problem that needs a working system. We build it, test it against your real work, and hand it over running.

  • Skill and prompt libraries your team owns outright
  • User guides written for your team
  • Custom tools and integrations where needed
  • Built and tested against your real inputs

Not sure which fits? If you can already name the problem, start with Build. If you can't yet, start with Adopt. Most engagements grow from one into the other.

Approach

What an engagement looks like.

An Adopt engagement runs differently from a Build engagement. Here is each one, kickoff to handoff.

Adopt

Learn how the business runs
We start with the audit: who does what, where the time goes, which work repeats.
Train the team on real work
Sessions built around your documents and your tasks, not a generic curriculum.
Map the opportunities
The audit becomes a ranked list: what to move to Claude first, and why.
Put the map to work
We start on the top priorities with your team.

Build

Scope the problem
We agree on what a working system looks like before anything gets built.
Build for your context
Skill libraries, prompt libraries, and custom tools shaped to how your business does the work.
Test against real work
We iterate against your real inputs until it clearly saves time and improves the work.
Hand it over running
Your team is trained on it before handoff, and the skill libraries, prompt libraries, and guides are yours to keep.
The team

Who you're working with.
