Why Some Work Cannot Use Public AI at All
For a lot of serious work the blocker is not cost or capability. It is that the material is not yours to share — and no feature setting changes that. Read more...
What You Actually Get for the First Year
Why the first year costs more than the ones after it, itemised — and what you own at the end, which is not the machine. Read more...
Is Local AI Worth It? Including When It Is Not
Four situations where a machine of your own is clearly right, four where it is clearly wrong, and an honest test for the middle. Read more...
What to Do When an AI Agent Gets It Wrong
It will. The question is whether you can tell, whether you can trace it, and whether the same mistake happens twice. Most of this category will not discuss it. Read more...
AI Agents That Can Act, and the Permission Problem
The moment an assistant can do things rather than only say them, the question changes from what it knows to what it is allowed to do. A practical way to answer it. Read more...
What an AI Agent Actually Does All Day
Stripped of the word: an agent is an assistant that can take steps without being asked for each one. What that looks like hour by hour, and where it stops. Read more...

The Document-Hunt Flow: Finding the One You Cannot Find
You know it exists. You know roughly when. You cannot remember what it was called. Search is the wrong tool for that, and description is the right one. Read more...

Why Your AI Forgets, and What Fixes It
You explain the same thing every session. That is not a fault you can prompt your way out of — it is how hosted assistants are built, and there are three different fixes. Read more...

Personalised AI Without Sending Your Data Anywhere
Personalisation and privacy are usually a trade. They stop being one when the training happens on a machine in your own building. Read more...

The Age of Training
Inference became a commodity. What is scarce now is a model that knows something nobody else knows — which is why training moves to where your material already lives. Read more...
Fleet: private AI at every site, and we look after all of them
A private AI appliance at every location, managed as one — the work each site repeats, the files that cannot go into a public chatbot, and one bill instead of a stack of them. Read more...

One decision, and then it is handled

One price, and one way to begin.

The same assistant at either address, for the same price. Begin with the first year; if you like, add the Archive Assessment before it — delivered work you keep, credited in full.

The first year

$8,995

Everything included. $4,995 each year after.

Begin the first year — $8,995

Or add the Archive Assessment first — $1,950, credited in full

The first year costs more because it contains the Jetson Orin placed and configured, your archive loaded and the first training run; every year after is the service running. You order and pay at checkout; we write back within days — a decline returns every dollar, and until our letter confirms the year you may withdraw in writing. From that letter the year is final, and it arrives on the date the letter names.

We answer in writing, within one business day — and if we cannot serve you well we say so before our letter confirms a year. Prefer to write to us first?
