Who we are
Our team brings together finance, software and AI, design, operations and people: the full range of expertise an owner-run business depends on.
What we do
For owners planning the next chapter
When you’re ready to step back, whether that’s soon or years from now, we buy established Arizona businesses and keep them running the way your customers expect. Over time, the businesses we own share one software platform, shared data and insight, and access to capital a single shop rarely has on its own.
For owners who need better tools
We stand up a secure environment and custom tools for your business in a fraction of the usual time. AI does most of the building; our engineers review, test and approve the work before it goes live, then host and improve it on one monthly agreement.
How it works
A private conversation about your business and your goals for it. We listen first.
If it fits for both of us, we sign a confidentiality agreement and review the details together.
A clear written offer or proposal. No fine-print surprises.
You set the pace. Selling owners can stay on through a transition on their timeline.
Questions
No. No fund, no outside investors, no plan to resell. We buy businesses to own and run for the long haul.
They stay. Your name stays on the door, your team stays on, and your customers keep the service they count on. We put that in writing.
If you’d like. You set the pace, and we’ll plan a transition on your timeline.
Yes, from the first call. We sign a confidentiality agreement before we look at any numbers.
Steady finances and reporting, modern software built by our own engineers, and help hiring, training and keeping good people.
Established Arizona businesses with loyal customers, a capable team and an owner thinking about the next chapter. If that sounds like yours, we’d like to hear from you.
Our system for building software with AI. Tell us how a job gets done and it builds the tool quickly. A person tests and approves the work before it goes live.
Yes, when it’s set up right. We run AI models inside AWS GovCloud in your own account, so your drawings and customer data stay under your control.
We set things up around NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 1 and 2, for both on-site systems and the cloud.
Yes. For example, a model trained on your inspection photos to help with quality control. Your data stays yours.
It depends on what you need, so each project gets its own quote. We’ll talk through the work with you first, then put a clear price and scope in writing before anything starts.

The problem
If you handle CUI or ITAR drawings, the AI tools your office could start using tomorrow are off-limits for the work that matters most. Pasting a drawing into a commercial chatbot, or letting a tool take a screenshot of one, moves controlled data outside your boundary, even though the file stayed on your server. So the quoting, the purchase orders, the paperwork and the drawing questions keep landing on the same few people.
That has changed. Today’s leading AI models now run inside government-authorized cloud regions. We build the secure setup around them, and the tools your team actually uses.
What we build
01
A private cloud desktop in your company’s own AWS GovCloud (US) account. Your team uses Claude, Anthropic’s AI, on your drawings, specs and documents through Amazon Bedrock, inside the boundary. Files stay encrypted in your account. Copy-and-paste and file transfer to personal laptops are turned off. Sign-ins use multi-factor authentication, and AI requests are logged in your account, where you can see them.
02
Custom tools built around how your shop runs: reading RFQs and purchase orders and drafting the quote or acknowledgment, sorting the inbox and drafting replies, and answering questions about drawings and specs with a link to the right page. Our tools draft; a person on your team approves before anything is sent or entered into your ERP. And when your people need something new, they can ask the factory for it themselves.
The software factory
Most shops can’t justify a software team, so they make do with spreadsheets, workarounds and software that almost fits. A software factory changes that. AI agents do most of the building; our engineers write the plan, check the work and decide what ships. You get software made for the way your shop runs, for a fraction of what custom software used to cost, and a first working tool comes together quickly.
We set the factory up for you: your own code repository and your own automated pipeline, deploying into your own account. Then anyone on your team you give permission to, from the front office to the shop floor, can ask it for a new app, a workflow or an insight from your shop’s data, in plain words. No coding needed. Each request goes through the same steps before it ships.
A short plan: what the tool does, who uses it, what data it touches and how we’ll know it works. You approve the plan before any code is written.
AI agents write the code against that plan in small pieces. Automated tests and security scans run on each change, and AI features are graded against a set of known right answers before they ship.
One of our engineers reviews and approves a change before it reaches your account, and your account’s own audit log records who deployed what.
Your team uses it on your own work before it goes live, and tells us what to change.
Your code lives in its own repository and runs in your own account, apart from other clients.
Deployments use short-lived sign-ins instead of passwords or keys kept on file.
Each system comes with a runbook, so more than one engineer can run it, and so can you.
If you stop working with us, your systems keep running, we hand over the code, and our access ends.
Tools that don’t touch controlled data can run in an account we host for you, and move to your own account when you want them to.
Permissions set who on your team can request what, and requests are recorded.
Getting started
We sign your NDA first. Then we look at where controlled data lives today and which hours you most want back.
Your company opens the GovCloud account and owns it and what’s in it. We help you set it up and work in it as invited administrators. You can remove our access whenever you choose.
We build and test in our own environment with made-up data, then install the finished work in your account.
You pay AWS directly for what you use, with a monthly budget alert at a number you choose.
Each tool comes with a runbook and a plain-language guide, so your team knows how it works and what it records.
How we handle your data
Controlled data lives in an account your company owns, not in ours.
Only U.S. persons on our team work with your technical data.
Before we see anything.
Amazon Bedrock doesn’t use your prompts or files to train AI models.
Our tools draft. Someone on your team says yes before anything is sent, posted or entered.
Sign-ins, changes and AI requests are recorded where you and your assessor can see them.
Straight talk on compliance
We’re engineers, not assessors. We don’t certify anyone, and we aren’t a C3PAO or a Registered Practitioner Organization. We work as an outside service provider inside your boundary, under the same rules your own people follow, and your company signs its own assessment.
What we bring to it: a diagram of where controlled data flows, the additions to your System Security Plan for the new workspace, and logs you can export as evidence.
Who builds it
Technology & automation lead
Alex is a software engineer who builds systems that have to stand up to strict rules. He started out writing test software for aerospace and defense hardware and building delivery pipelines for a large defense contractor. Since then he has designed a cloud platform from the ground up under HIPAA and SOC 2, and built AI assistants and agents that people rely on in production.
He leads our software factory, where AI agents do most of the building and our engineers decide what ships. His focus is keeping people in charge of AI: an agent’s work logged, checked and easy to follow, so the person who signs for it can see what it did and why.
Questions
Not on controlled data, unless the tool runs inside an authorized environment, and most commercial AI services don’t. CUI in the cloud needs a provider that meets FedRAMP Moderate or its equivalent; ITAR data needs U.S.-only processing and U.S.-person access. AWS GovCloud (US) meets both, and it’s where the workspace runs. Your compliance advisor has the final word on your contracts.
A tool can’t do that on its own. The workspace is built to fit inside your boundary and to produce the records your assessment needs, but your company still does the assessment and signs it.
Your company does. We work in it by invitation, and you can remove our access whenever you choose.
No. Anyone on your team with permission can describe what they need in plain words: an app, a workflow, an answer from your data. The factory plans and builds it, and it goes through the same checks and approval before it ships.
No. It works beside your ERP, not instead of it.
Your systems keep running. We hand over the code and the runbook, remove our access, and the account stays yours.
Two parts. Your cloud use, which you pay to AWS directly, with a budget alert you set. And our fee for the build, which we quote after the first conversation.
After a first conversation and an NDA, we map where your data lives and propose a first tool.
