The Process
How it works.
Where you are today and the clear path to where you want to be.
Where most businesses are today
This is happening right now.
The agent nobody's watching
Still running on outdated instructions
Data in six places
Agreeing in none of them
The AI project that faded
Everyone's back to doing it manually
50+ new AI tools a month
No time to figure out which matter
↓
These aren't hypotheticals. Here's how Basecamp fixes it step by step.
01
Phase
Assess
We tell you where you stand.
An honest, engineering-level look at your data, systems, and any AI tools already running, including a landscape assessment of which AI tools actually matter for your industry. One clear written report (no jargon, no sales pressure).
What's working
What's broken
What to prioritize
What's worth your attention
Starting at $499
A
What we review
Every system your business runs, and whether the data coming out of it is actually trustworthy
Any AI tools or automations already running and whether they're performing or quietly failing
Where your systems connect and where they don't and what those gaps are costing you
What to fix first, what to build next, and what's not worth your time
B
AI landscape assessment
Which categories of AI tools are relevant to your specific industry and operations and which are noise
Whether the tools you're already paying for are still the best option or if better alternatives exist
A curated shortlist of tools worth evaluating, not fifty options, just the ones that fit
02
Phase
Build
Build the foundation.
Starting from scratch or fixing something that was built and left behind. We select the right tools from a crowded market and build AI systems that hold up in the real world.
Data pipelines
AI agents
Tool selection
Monitoring
Documentation
$2,500 – $25,000 (highly dependent on project)
A
Starting fresh
A unified data pipeline that connects your business systems and puts everything in one place
AI agents that automate real workflows. This could include daily briefings, customer outreach, billing follow-up, reporting, etc.
The full infrastructure underneath (data quality, scheduling, alerting), so it runs reliably for years
B
Already have something built
AI tools built by a vendor, freelancer, or AI coding assistant that have become unreliable (so common now). We stabilize, fix, or rebuild them properly
Automations that worked at first but nobody knows how to maintain. We take ownership and make them trustworthy
C
Tool selection from a crowded market
With dozens of AI platforms, agent frameworks, and automation tools competing for your budget, we evaluate the landscape and select what fits
We make deliberate choices about what to invest in now, what to defer, and what to avoid. This saves thousands in wasted subscriptions
03
Phase
Operate
We run it for you.
Full ongoing ownership of your AI systems whether we built them or not. We monitor, maintain, and improve everything. We track the AI landscape so you don't have to. You never wonder if something is quietly going wrong or if you're falling behind.
Active monitoring
Model upgrades
Landscape tracking
Monthly report
No hourly billing
From $1,500/month
A
Every month, without being asked
When a software update breaks a data connection, we catch and fix it, typically before your next report is due
When your business changes, new location, new product, new policy, we update your AI systems to match
When a better AI model releases that improves your results or cuts your costs, we migrate you over
B
We take over systems we didn't build
AI tools already running in your business, regardless of who built them, can be brought under our management
Every month: a plain-English report covering what ran, what we fixed, what we improved, and what we're watching
C
We track the AI landscape so you don't have to
When a new AI tool, agent platform, or automation framework launches that's relevant to your business we evaluate it and bring you what's worth adopting
When a tool you're paying for becomes obsolete or gets outperformed, we manage the transition to something better
You stop worrying about falling behind. Someone you trust is keeping you ahead.
D
Need senior AI leadership without the full-time hire?
For businesses that need strategic guidance in the room, we embed as a part-time member of your leadership team — present in strategic conversations, evaluating technology decisions, and keeping your AI roadmap coherent
We navigate the AI landscape on your behalf — cutting through the noise of new tools and platform launches to tell you what matters for your specific business
A full-time senior AI/data leader costs $150,000–$220,000/year. Fractional engagement: $2,500–$6,000/month for 10–20 hours
The outcome
You just experience
the results.
the results.
Systems monitored, maintained, and always improving
All your data connected and trustworthy
A monthly report in plain English with no jargon
Always running the right tools and never falling behind
You focus on the business. We handle the rest.
Not sure where you fit?
Most engagements start with a free conversation. We'll tell you honestly where to begin.
