I build AI tools that do the work your team doesn’t have time to do right.
Not chatbots. Not generic AI. Working desks, loaded with real industry knowledge, deployed inside your own account.
What That Actually Means
Expertise Lives in One Person’s Head. It Doesn’t Scale.
Someone on your team knows what to look for in a spec book. Someone knows when a deal is going sideways. Someone knows the checklist that prevents the $200K mistake. When that person is busy, overloaded, on vacation, or retiring — the expertise disappears and mistakes get made.
I build AI tools that capture how your best people think and make that thinking available to everyone on your team, every day, on every project. Tools loaded with real industry knowledge, your specific processes, and the decision logic that separates a good outcome from an expensive one.
Your team opens the tool, asks a question in plain English, and gets back the answer your best person would give.

Six Working Desks, Already Built
Every desk: a specific industry, researched at depth, fused under fixed evidence rules, deployed as working specialists. Find yours.
🚧 SpecFinder
Specification Intelligence for Commercial Construction
The bid is Thursday, the book is 800 pages, and somewhere in it is the sentence that costs six figures. Findings, not summaries — every one with its citation.
⚡️ SpecTechs
Trade-Deep Specification Intelligence
Forty-seven electrified openings. Three divisions pointing at each other. Four specialists reading doors, electrical, low voltage — and the space between them.
🏘️ SmartRealtor
Transaction Intelligence for Real Estate Professionals
The deadlines that forfeit deposits, the lease traps, the commission math that breaks spreadsheets. Two desks — commercial and residential.
🛰️ SectorDesk
Sector Intelligence for Private Equity
The CIM landed Tuesday and the partner wants a view by Friday. Associate-depth answers on a deal clock instead of a research timeline.
🏦 MeetingRecord
Record Intelligence for Financial Advisors
Your notetaker got every word and none of the weight. The meeting, converted into the record an examiner reads — every inferred line marked.
🕰️ Business Lifecycle
Ownership Intelligence for Small Business Owners
Five advisors built from a CPA’s forty years of pattern recognition — the entity, the equity, the cash, the key employee, the exit, the succession.
Why This Is Different
The AI Isn’t the Product. The Knowledge Inside It Is.
Most AI tools are empty. Someone wrote a one-paragraph instruction that says you are a helpful construction assistant and called it a product. That produces the same generic output you’d get anywhere.
My tools are built on months of structured research — industry economics, workflow mapping, role-specific decision patterns — researched through independent systems and fused under fixed evidence rules, where conflicts get carried rather than averaged and gaps get declared rather than filled.
And someone is accountable. When a tool doesn’t handle a situation well, I fix it. This isn’t build and disappear.
The Tools Know Their Limits
They ask the right follow-up questions. They catch what you’d miss under time pressure. They produce structured output you can hand to a client, attach to a bid, or file in a case.
And they know what they shouldn’t do — where their scope ends, what belongs to a licensed professional, when the honest answer is not specified. That last part is the part generic AI gets catastrophically wrong.

What I Believe
Expertise Shouldn’t Be Trapped in One Person’s Head
AI doesn’t replace that expertise. It distributes it. The 30-year veteran still makes the judgment calls — but the junior estimator now has a tool that shows them what to look for, and the associate now asks the questions the partner would ask.
I don’t promise autonomous agents, 10x productivity, or AI that replaces your staff. I build tools that make your existing people better at the work they already do. That’s not a transformation story. That’s a specific, practical outcome — and it’s the only kind I sell.

Caught Mistake Pays for the Engagement
The Economics
The Math That Matters
A missed spec clause on a $300K fee job erases your profit. A coordination gap between two divisions becomes a six-figure change order. A botched client intake creates months of downstream problems.
The tools don’t need to be perfect. They need to catch the thing you would have missed at 2am on bid day, or during the fourth client call of the afternoon, or when your best person was working on something else.
Common Questions
Asked Before, Answered Straight
How is this different from just using ChatGPT or Claude?
Generic AI knows a little about everything and isn’t great at anything specific. These tools are loaded with researched industry knowledge, expert decision logic, and structured workflows — running inside your own account, with guardrails built for your work.
Does my team need to learn AI?
No. They open a project, describe their work in plain language, and get structured output. No prompts to write, nothing to configure. That’s the point.
What happens if we stop working together?
Everything stays. The projects, the instructions, the knowledge, the conversation history — it’s your account. The tools keep working as built. What you lose is the person maintaining and improving them.
Why should I trust this?
You shouldn’t, yet. Bring your own document — your spec book, your meeting notes, your contract — and watch it run live, with every finding traceable to a source you can check. That’s the only proof that counts.
How to Start
A Conversation. Not a Sales Pitch.
What your team does every day. Where things slow down. Where mistakes happen. What expertise lives in someone’s head that should be available to everyone. If there’s a fit, I’ll tell you what I’d build. If there isn’t, I’ll tell you that too.
