Beachhead Build.
Domain KPIs moved in 60 days.
One operational domain, rebuilt as an AI-native operating layer. Designed for firms who want a measurable win before a firm-wide commitment.
And — honestly — who it's not.
✓ YOU'RE A FIT IF
- +Your firm has scale, but you want a smaller proof point before going firm-wide.
- +There's a single domain — close, intake, fulfillment — costing real money today.
- +The domain leader can stand inside the engagement for 45–75 days.
- +You'd rather see a measured KPI move than read a slide deck.
- +You can deploy meaningful capital into this one fix — and into the full build later.
✗ NOT A FIT IF
- –You want the whole firm rebuilt in this engagement — see the Foundation Build.
- –The domain you'd pick has no measurable KPI we can attach to.
- –You want this priced as a SaaS product.
- –You're not ready to instrument the workflows we'd rebuild.
Three operations. One engagement.
Every Beachhead Build runs the same three-phase architecture — sequenced, gated, instrumented.

Sweep
Domain map, KPI baseline, 60-day plan.
Layers 1–2
Models + knowledge ingestion. Governance signoff.
Layer 3
Agent build. KPIs instrumented.
Layer 4
Workflow rebuild. Domain team trained.
Layer 5
Dashboard live. Retainer kicks off.
Before. After.
- –Domain runs on human labor and spreadsheets
- –KPI not instrumented; gains anecdotal
- –Domain team escalates upward for routine decisions
- –No reusable knowledge layer; tribal knowledge
- +3–6 workflows running autonomously inside the domain
- +Domain KPI dashboard reviewed monthly
- +Domain team operating on a tuned, governed stack
- +Knowledge layer is the foundation for firm-wide expansion later
A real conversation, not a price card.
The Beachhead Build is a meaningful operational commitment scoped to a single domain — a more bounded investment than the Foundation Build, with a clear path to expand once the domain KPI moves. Appropriate for firms ready to commit capital to a real install (not a pilot) while keeping the firm-wide engagement on deck.
We don't publish numbers because they don't mean anything without scope. We talk through investment on the Ops Call — operator-to-operator. If the math doesn't work for you, we say so on the same call.

The domain KPI in scope, moving inside 60 days of Install kickoff.
If the named KPI hasn't moved by the QBR, we keep working on it on our dollar. The standard is plain English: human-directed, ruthlessly efficient, measured.

What this looks like in practice.
“Discovery review throughput 3.2× in 9 weeks.”
- THE OPERATION
- Boutique litigation firm. 14 attorneys, 22 staff. Pre-engagement: discovery review was the constraint on caseload growth.
- WHAT WAS BROKEN
- Discovery review averaging 2.4 hrs per attorney per document pack. Attorney realization rate flat at 71%.
- THE MISSION
- Cut review time per pack by 60%. Lift realization to 85%. Add capacity for two new partners' practices.
- WHAT WE SHIPPED
- Custom retrieval layer, agent orchestration over document review, governance dashboard. 9 weeks Install. 5 workflows.
- THE RESULT
- Throughput 3.2× by week 10. Realization +18 pts. Two new attorney practices onboarded inside the existing footprint.
What's next after Beachhead Build.
Year 1
Beachhead live; KPI dashboard running; Retainer in motion.
Year 2 expansion
Graduate to Foundation Build firm-wide; second domain installed.
Honest anti-promises.
Beachhead is a real install with named outcomes — not a free trial.
Fixed-fee phases. Scope changes get a new SOW, not invoice surprise.
If Beachhead is enough, Beachhead is enough. We'll say so.
One domain, fully shipped, before the next conversation.
