Deep and Holistic
Discovery
Leveraging cognitive frameworks developed from emerging think tanks, we often have 2 members of our leadership team drive holistic discoveries in the respective problem spaces and within ~1-2 weeks, and come down with 3-5 prioritized use cases.
Forms: Consultations, workshops, hackathons. We like to create energy through fun so we often host small group hackathons and clients are often invited to come for curated experiences.

Reverse Adoption and Retrofitted Development
We double down on the human experience, we believe founders are the bottom necks of startups just as users persona and workflows are to advanced tech and products.
With this in mind, we aim to integrate AI software, systems, and tools into your teams by first assessing and studying each of our team and their constructs, factoring in edge cases and collaboration facts. We then develop custom software and AI solutions tailored to your unique needs and can iterate with your business objectives.
Think & Tech Merge
and 100x Emergence
We observe that the X and Y axes of emerging tech like generative AI and effective talent development programs can easily yield 10x10 results for small teams that want to take on their Goliath peers who often look else where.
AI enabled cognitive athletes uncover insights, produce high quality outcomes in fraction of time, and focus on creativity. Like our focus on UX, we can create lean team x tech emergence programs in parallel to the development and adoption cycles.

UX flow mapping
and Product Design
