I build the machines, platforms, automations, and AI operations that let one operator win the ground three agencies can't. No exploration budgets. No pilots that pilot forever. Systems that ship, invoices you can trace, and a standard you don't negotiate.
Minimum engagement floor. Response SLA in hours, not days. Zero kill fees — if we're wrong, we walk, no invoice. That is the standard. Everything else is negotiable.
Average deliverable: 9 days end-to-end. Median engagement: 14 days signed to shipped. Speed compounds. Slow doesn't.
Every line item traces to a token or a deliverable. AI usage passes through at cost plus a markup you approve before you sign.
Weekly Studio Pulse in the portal. If a stat can't be sourced from the system, it doesn't appear on this site.
No hard feelings on any of these. Most people shouldn't work with me. That's the point of the gate.
Names are new. Scopes and prices are exactly what they've always been. Recon proves it. The Build ships it. The Machine keeps it running.
All AI infrastructure and build usage is billed at cost plus a transparent markup. Every line traceable to a token or a deliverable.
$1,500-$5,000 · 1-2 weeks. I map your operation, isolate where AI actually pays off, and hand you a build spec with real numbers attached. If you don't move on it, we both walk away clean.
$10,000-$35,000 · 2-6 weeks. Production-grade platform, agents, and automations shipped to your stack. Full code ownership. Every line traceable to a milestone.
$750-$3,000/mo. I run what I build. Hosting, monitoring, iteration, and Ops on standby. Cancel any month. Nothing locks.

Board deck production was eating 6 hours a week of executive time.
Delivered a private AI research desk that drafts board briefs from raw source docs. Executive time on decks dropped by ~80%.
Deal-flow intake was drifting between three tools. Nothing was ever findable in the moment.
Consolidated intake, notes, and follow-up into one private portal with an AI agent triaging inbound. Zero deals lost since go-live.
Marketing site + billing + support chat were three vendors and one very tired founder.
Shipped a single React/FastAPI stack with Stripe subscriptions, AI support, and admin CRM. One founder, one codebase.
Every scheduled invoice, signed SOW, billed milestone, and reconciled payment — logged in real time. Zero manual touch. Zero identifying data.
Fill the gate. Straight answers only. It disqualifies more people than it accepts — on purpose.
One human call to lock outcomes, timeline, and where AI belongs in the solution.
Dane's studio ships production-grade software in days — Our studio ships production-grade software in days — quietly, behind the scenes.
