AI That Actually
Ships to Production.
AI Is Not Just Another Thing. Is Your Business Ready?
The researchers, founders, and operators Josh has spent five years interviewing all say the same thing: the businesses that act now will look unrecognizable from those that wait. The advisory is how you get on the right side of that line.
The Advisory Practice
The Pilot Worked.
Now What?
Most teams have run an AI experiment. A few have run three. Almost none have shipped something that survived long enough to matter. The hard part is never the demo.

Where Teams Get Stuck
No Clear Owner After the Pilot
Vendor built it, consultant left, lives in Notion. No one accountable for keeping it alive or scaling it further.
Fragmented, Costly Workflows
4 steps instead of 1. Error-prone repetitive work that burns hours and still generates mistakes your team has to catch manually.
Tool Sprawl, No System
ChatGPT, Make, Zapier: none of them talking to each other. Expensive subscriptions, duplicated effort, zero coherence.
Our Promise
"We help pioneering companies turn AI ambition into lasting advantage: identifying the opportunities worth pursuing, building the systems that matter, and mobilizing the right ecosystem to make adoption stick."Josh Kriger, Co-Founder & Advisory Practice Lead, Edge of AI

Business Development · Robotics
We built a BD function from scratch. Then we handed it back.
A robotics company needed a qualified commercial pipeline — not a list of names, but a governed structure with documented qualification logic, evidenced outreach, and clear prioritization by commercial route. We built that function from zero and delivered results that held to a consistent, defensible standard.
Proof of progress
What changed
The client now has a repeatable BD function with a documented qualification standard — not a list, but a governed pipeline with clear ownership and commercial logic.
Most AI projects don't fail because the technology doesn't work. They fail because no one made it the team's job to keep it working.
A vendor hands off a system. A consultant writes the strategy. A pilot runs for eight weeks and generates a deck that lives in Google Drive. And then the team is back to doing things the old way, because nothing anchored the change to how the business actually runs.
We build differently. We start by finding the one or two places where AI genuinely changes the math. Not where it's interesting, where it compounds. We build those systems inside your process, with your team, so the knowledge stays when we leave. We measure adoption, not delivery.
The companies winning with AI right now aren't the ones with the most tools. They're the ones who made one system work — and then made it the foundation for the next one. That's what we help you build.
Identify the opportunities worth pursuing. Build the systems that matter. Mobilize the ecosystem that makes adoption stick.
The Engagement Path
Clear Scope.
Defensible Pricing.
One fixed-fee diagnostic. A build scoped to what it's worth. An optional retainer only if you want it. You keep everything we build.

Edge Audit
$5,900 100% credited to your buildA structured discovery that surfaces exactly where AI can help and what to ignore. Before you spend serious money on a build, know what you are building and why. Every dollar of the $5,900 credits directly toward your implementation, so if you engage for a Build Sprint, the audit costs you nothing net.
Then build
30 days standard
up to 12 weeks for Transformation
Build Sprint
Your $5,900 audit investment applies in full toward whichever Build Sprint you select, making the diagnostic effectively cost-neutral when you move to implementation.
We implement the systems the Audit identified. Real integrations, real documentation, not slides. Scoped precisely to what you need. You own everything we build: code, systems, and decisions.
