The version of AI strategy that works for a Seattle business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
For Seattle operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Our goal is to give Seattle businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI strategy actually does
A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business - not a generic deck. We sit with your team, map the high-value plays, and write the build order. You leave with a plan you could actually start tomorrow.
- 01 On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- 02 Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
- 03 Tool selection - not married to any vendor
- 04 Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI strategy runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Seattle businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI strategy compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
The Seattle context, plainly.
- Seattle runs on cloud computing, aerospace and coffee, home to the companies whose infrastructure half the internet's AI runs on - AI here means holding up to serious technical scrutiny.
- Two of the world's largest cloud providers are headquartered here alongside a major aerospace manufacturing base. Seattle businesses, even small ones, tend to have someone on staff who can and will check your work.
We work with teams across Seattle: Downtown Seattle · Capitol Hill · Bellevue · Fremont · Ballard · Redmond.

How we build AI strategy for a Seattle team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Seattle business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI roadmap + plan.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Seattle businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Seattle teams

FAQ
How long does AI strategy take to ship for Seattle businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Seattle businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price AI strategy engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Seattle businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Has this actually shipped for a real Seattle?
Yes. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI strategy into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
