FIELD NOTES

Receipts, not résumés.

Anonymized reports from active engagements. Each one starts with the situation as it actually was — not a sanitized summary — and ends with specific, falsifiable outcomes.

Series B fintech

The situation

Agentic workflow in beta. Inference costs tripled month-over-month with no traceable cause. CFO asking questions the Head of AI couldn't answer.

Consumer marketplace

The situation

Two years of AI feature work. One agent in production. Zero eval framework. Every model upgrade required two weeks of manual spot-checking.

PE portfolio diligence · 3 portcos

The situation

Operating partner needed AI maturity read across 3 portfolio companies. All three claimed meaningful AI capability. No internal expertise to separate real from pitch-deck.

Working on something like this?

Selective engagements only. We figure out together if there's a fit.
