AI that actually moves the needle for your business.
You've heard the hype. You suspect there's something here for your business. Olie helps you cut through the noise — find the AI that pays for itself, build it, and stick around to make sure it works.
Flat-fee audit · Monthly retainers from $2,000 · No long-term lock-in
AI doesn't fail because the technology isn't ready.
It fails for three reasons — and we plan for every one.
Wrong problem picked
Teams chase what's loud or trendy instead of where the work actually hurts. The audit fixes this on day one.
Dies in the messy middle
The pilot demos great, then stalls when it meets real data, real systems, and real people. We stay through the messy middle.
Nobody knows what changed
Without a clear before-and-after metric, even a working AI tool feels like wasted budget. We measure outcomes from day one.
We've spent 30+ years inside small and mid-sized businesses — sales floor, ops, finance, IT, the corner office. We know how decisions actually get made when money is real and time is short. That's the lens we bring to AI: practical, measured, and warm. Less hype. More outcomes.
It's not the AI. It's where you point it.
AI applied to the wrong constraint just makes the wrong thing faster. AI applied to the right constraint reshapes the business. The hard part has never been the tool — it's knowing where to aim it.
Three decades across sales, operations, finance, IT, and the corner office is the lens we bring. AI is the multiplier. Together, that's where Olie shines.
“An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour lost for the entire system.”
The efficiency gain is in your business right now. Either hidden — or accessed. Which would you prefer?
Real wins, not science projects.
A snapshot of what we're seeing actually pay off in 10–500 person businesses today.
Customer support that doesn't sleep
Triage incoming tickets, draft replies, and surface the questions worth a human touch — without losing your voice.
Sales follow-up that actually happens
Auto-summarize calls, score leads, and queue up the next-best message so nothing slips through the cracks.
The knowledge in your team's head, on tap
Turn SOPs, contracts, manuals, and old emails into a private assistant your team can ask in plain English.
Quotes, invoices, and data entry — automated
Pull line items from PDFs, reconcile against your ERP, flag exceptions. Hours of grunt work, gone.
Marketing without the blank page
Drafts, variants, and on-brand content that frees your team to do the work only humans can do.
Forecasting and inventory you can trust
Use the data you already have to make sharper calls on staffing, stock, and where the business is heading.
The worries every owner brings to the first call.
You're not behind. You're being thoughtful. Here's how we think about the things that hold most teams back.
We're too small for AI.
Most of what we do is exactly the right size for SMBs. The hardest part isn't the tech — it's deciding where to start. That's where we come in.
It's going to cost a fortune.
It doesn't have to. We start with a flat-fee audit, then a monthly retainer sized to where you actually are — starting at $2,000. You'll know your numbers before we lift a finger.
Our data is messy.
Everyone's is. We work with what you have, fix the parts that block real outcomes, and don't sell you a year-long data project you don't need.
How do I know it's actually working?
Every engagement starts with the outcome. Hours saved, response time, close rate, error rate — pick the metric, we'll measure it.
3 ways in.
Pick the one that fits where you are.
AI Opportunity Audit
A flat-fee, two-week deep dive. We talk to your team, walk the floor, read the data, and hand you a prioritized roadmap with ROI estimates and vendor recommendations. Yours to keep, with or without us.
Strategy & Roadmap
Ongoing advisory and hands-on guidance. We sequence the work, vet the tools, coach your team, and keep the roadmap honest as the market shifts under your feet.

We roll up our sleeves. Stand up the AI solution, integrate it with your stack, train your team, and stay on as your fractional AI lead so it keeps working.
The Glue.
For 30+ years I've been called "the Glue" — the person who connects strategy to operations, finance to sales, technology to the people who use it. CTO, CFO, COO across a decade in a diversified portfolio. Today, a principal ERP consultant. Olie is where I bring all of it to bear on the AI question for SMBs.
