I help founders and business owners decide what is worth building, build the first version, and test it in real work—before a large team or budget.

I build AI-native businesses in music and verified information. I take a small number of 0→1 projects where judgment, speed, and a working first version matter more than a large delivery team.

No agency layer. I lead the work directly.

One bounded AI opportunity becomes a working first version, a real test, and a clear next decision.
+ one working prototype, agent, or workflow
+ a record of what was actually tested
+ risks, limits, and unresolved assumptions
+ a 30-day next-step plan and handoff
− open-ended software outsourcing
− staff augmentation or an AI agency retainer
− a full enterprise rollout in two weeks
− months of strategy before anything works

We take one idea or manual process, define the first useful proof, and leave with a short 0→1 plan.
If we start a Sprint within 14 days, the $500 is credited in full.
you have an AI opportunity or costly manual process, but the first system is unclear
you want something working—not another strategy deck
one person can own the test and provide real examples
you are ready to make a continue / change / stop decision within 30 days
Both. The important part is one bounded problem, one real user, and a result we can observe.
It will be a working first system designed to prove value. Security, scale, and enterprise hardening come after the proof.
Usually we can begin with anonymized examples and the minimum access needed for a credible test.
I lead and build directly. The scope stays small enough that it does not need a delivery team.
Send the idea or process, who uses it, and what should be true in 30 days. I will tell you whether a Review, a Sprint, or no project at all makes sense.
