Craftspeople, Not Consultants

A guild is a collective of practitioners. Not a consulting firm with its partners and associates. Not a dev shop with its bench and overhead. Masters who've spent years building, breaking, and rebuilding systems.

Why This Model Matters

Traditional consulting firms have a fundamental conflict: they need to keep you dependent to keep billing. Dev shops have different problems: they optimize for utilization, not outcomes. Someone's always learning on your dime.

The guild model is different. We assemble exactly the right minds for each challenge. No one's billing hours to justify their salary. No one's learning on your dime. When you engage the Guild, you get the people who've actually solved problems like yours.

We share knowledge, methods, and infrastructure across the Guild. We've codified what works. When someone figures out a better way, everyone benefits.

This is why we can move faster than traditional firms while maintaining quality that exceeds them. We're not reinventing approaches for each client. We're applying proven patterns with experienced practitioners.

Compare Your Options

Three paths. One choice.

Traditional Consulting

12-18 months. 7-figure budgets.

Paying premium for strategy decks while the world moves on. Elegant recommendations, slow execution. Built for enterprises with time to spare.

  • Junior associates doing the work
  • Methodology theater over outcomes
  • Incentivized to extend engagements
  • Implementation handed off to others
  • Built for dependency

Traditional Dev Shops

Code factories. Execute, don't think.

Optimized for the wrong game—shipping lines of code, not building intelligent outcomes. The game has shifted from development to knowing what to build.

  • Bench model inflates costs
  • Scope creep as business model
  • No strategic thinking included
  • Hourly billing misaligns incentives
  • Legacy approaches to new problems

AI Guild Partners

Research. Ideate. Build. Weeks.

We have the processes, methods, and AI infrastructure to run projects consistently at AI speed. Consulting depth. Implementation velocity. One team.

  • Practitioners, not juniors
  • Shared methods accelerate work
  • Outcome-based incentives
  • Knowledge transfer built-in
  • Built for independence

What We Believe

Four principles that guide every engagement

01

Problems First, AI Second

We don't start with technology. We start with your business problem. AI is a tool, not a destination. The question is never "how can we use AI?" but "what would actually solve this?"

02

Outcomes Over Outputs

Lines of code mean nothing. Features shipped mean nothing. What matters is whether the problem got solved. We measure success by business impact, not activity.

03

Speed Without Shortcuts

Fast doesn't mean reckless. We move quickly because we've done this before, because we've invested in methods and infrastructure, and because we don't waste time on ceremony.

04

Built to Transfer

We succeed when you don't need us anymore. Everything we build, you own completely. No lock-in, no dependency, no proprietary black boxes. Your team should be able to run it.

The Result

What you actually get

Faster Time to Value

Working solutions in weeks, not quarters. We've solved similar problems before—we're not figuring it out on your dime.

Higher Hit Rate

Experienced practitioners mean fewer wrong turns. We know what works and what doesn't. Less experimentation, more execution.

Predictable Outcomes

Fixed scope, fixed price, clear deliverables. You know what you're getting before you commit. No surprises, no scope creep.

True Ownership

Everything we build belongs to you. Code, documentation, knowledge—all yours. Built to run without us.

Real Partnership

We succeed when you succeed. Our incentives are aligned with your outcomes, not with maximizing billable hours.

Compounding Value

Knowledge transfer means your team grows. Every engagement leaves you more capable than before.

Experience the difference

See what happens when experienced practitioners focus entirely on solving your problem. No learning curves. No billing games.
