How we help
We start with the people doing the work, and build in small steps you can see paying.
For leaders who are still close to the work.
Whether you run the business or lead a team in it, you'll probably recognise some of this.
- You've tried to take it further, but the day job keeps winning.
- You don't fully trust what it gives you, so you check everything twice.
- Your best people lose hours each week to admin and busywork.
Find your latent leverage
Most businesses push harder. We move the fulcrum.
Your team already puts in the effort. Pushing harder gets you a little further, and wears people out.
Latent leverage is the place where AI makes the same effort lift far more. It might be a report someone rebuilds every week, or know-how that lives in one person's head.
Every business has some. It rarely surfaces on its own, because the people closest to it are too busy to look.
Finding it is where we start: with the people doing the work, in one conversation.
Two ways in
Pick the one that fits, or both, and we'll talk it through on a call.
01 Build something that pays.
Pick the problem
One conversation to find the problem worth solving first, and what it's worth.
Build it
Short sprints, with anyone on your team who wants to learn building alongside us. You see it working within weeks, checked before it goes live.
Hand it over
You own it. Your team runs it day to day, and we look after anything that needs a developer. Then we pick the next problem.
We often build tools for finding new customers, market research, and quotes and reports. Or we turn what your best people know into a tool the whole team can use.

Claude Team or ChatGPT Business, set up safely and connected to your tools and what your business knows.

How to brief AI, what's safe to share, and how to check what comes back.
Sessions by role
Sales, marketing, operations and leaders, on their own work.
Make it stick
Your regular jobs written down so AI does them your way, and what it knows kept up to date.

Questions we get asked
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask us.
What does a first engagement look like?
It starts with a 30-minute call about your business and what you've tried with AI.
If you want something built, we pick the problem worth solving first and build a working version in a short sprint. For your team, we set up your AI workspace and run a first session on their own work.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
A first build sprint usually has something working within a few weeks. Training starts with a single session.
We agree the scope and price of each step before it starts, so you know what you're committing to. You can stop after any step.
We don't publish prices, because they depend on the problem and the size of your team.
Is AI on your risk register?
It should be. Your team is probably already using AI, some of it on personal accounts, with no rules about what goes in.
We set up a business workspace with sensible safety rules, so you know what's being shared and where it goes.
What happens to our data?
We work inside your own accounts wherever we can: your AI workspace, your systems, your files.
On business plans, Anthropic and OpenAI don't train their models on your data by default. We check those settings with you before anything real goes in.
We don't take copies of your data away unless we've agreed it in writing.
Which AI tools do you use?
Whatever your team already has, Claude or ChatGPT. We go deepest on Claude and Claude Code, from Anthropic.
Where data can't leave your building, we can talk about running models on your own hardware.
Do you work with software teams?
Yes. Andy and Cam have each built software for more than twenty years. We set up Claude Code for your developers and bring AI into writing, reviewing and testing code.
We also take on older code that has outgrown the team that wrote it.
Who do you work with?
Established businesses, mostly in Canterbury, that already use AI and want more from it.
Sometimes the owner calls us. Often it's someone running sales, marketing or operations who wants to get more done.
Where are you?
We're based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, and we're happy to come to you. We work across Aotearoa New Zealand when it makes sense.
