A boutique AI consulting practice for SMBs that want a clear roadmap, not a sales pitch. Honest math. Senior delivery. No big-firm runaround.
We assess where you stand, identify the highest-ROI AI opportunities, and hand you a prioritized 12-18 month roadmap. The fastest-to-close, highest-margin starting point for any AI initiative.
Once the roadmap is set, we get to work. Vendor-neutral platform selection, proof-of-concept builds, and end-to-end system integration, with one senior person accountable from start to finish.
The technology is the easy part. We manage the human side: the skills, culture, and processes that make AI implementation stick long after the engagement ends.
A strategy roadmap tells you where to go. The Sherpa Program gets you there.
This is ongoing, embedded AI guidance. Not a project with an end date. Think of it as a dedicated navigator beside you for the full journey: regular advisory sessions, hands-on execution oversight, and a senior AI mind available when decisions get hard.
Designed for companies that have committed to AI transformation and want to be certain the effort actually lands. No deck and a handshake. Real results.
Every engagement follows the same four-phase process, built to find the real bottleneck before building anything and make sure results stick.
A discovery call. We map your process, surface the real bottleneck, and establish where you actually are before charting where to go.
A map of how things work today. A target map of where we'll get you. Use-case prioritization and ROI projections, with the math shown.
We design, deploy, and integrate in tight test-and-learn cycles. Weekly review. No black boxes. Senior delivery from start to finish.
Measure against agreed metrics. Standardize what works. Improve what doesn't. Hand off cleanly, with full documentation and trained teams.
Some industries can't send data to the cloud. Healthcare records, legal files, financial data, government contracts. The model needs to live where the data does.
We design and deploy fully local AI systems: powerful language models running entirely on your infrastructure, with no data leaving your environment. Every query stays on-prem. Every output is auditable.
I started Compass AI Group because SMBs deserve serious AI guidance at a price that actually makes sense, delivered by the person you hired.
After decades at the intersection of technology and business operations, I've seen what happens when AI initiatives are led by strategy consultants who can't code, or engineers who don't understand how businesses actually run. The companies that succeed are the ones with a trusted guide who can hold both.
My approach is direct: a short diagnostic call, honest analysis, and a roadmap built around what your business actually needs. Every engagement is senior-only, vendor-agnostic, and scoped to generate real returns.
If you're a founder, operator, or executive ready to move on AI and not just talk about it, I'd like to take the first bearing together.
A 30-minute discovery call. We map your situation, identify the real opportunity, and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. No pitch deck. No obligation.
