Organizations buy AI tools. Then they discover that buying the tool and actually deploying it are two entirely different problems. The vendor leaves. The team is uncertain. The technology sits.
I close that gap. I work with teams to build the scaffolding that makes AI agents actually work in production — the knowledge bases, the prompt architecture, the feedback loops, the human processes that turn a brilliant but amnesiac inference engine into a reliable colleague.
