AINOW · Deterministic AI business processs

We replace 40-person consulting with four-to-six-person and .

Touch a word. See what you are actually paying for.
Pyramids: partners sell it, managers manage it, analysts build the slides. You pay for every layer of handoff.
Pods: four to six senior people who design, build and run the business process themselves. No layers in between.
A machine that stays: the business processs, the audit trail and the improvement loop keep running after we leave. Your team owns them.

Auditable business processs that is configurable and only improvises in production where defined. For the CEO who wants the outcome, the CTO who has to run it and the people who answer for data and results.

Pandora · Principal intake / Pod #1

Pandora works here.

She knows firsthand what happens when somebody opens an unchained agent swarm in your kitchen, how our four-to-six-person pods are staffed, what StormAgentic and Jetstream actually do in production, and whether your business process needs a model at all. And her monthly token budget is well north of $29.

Talk to Pandora. Or talk to Cheryl. Your choice.

Pandora's conversation opens here soon. Until then, leave your details or book a time with Cheryl, and we will pick it up from there.

The usual pyramid / The AINOW pod

Same problems. Fewer people. A more truthful result.

Big consulting sells you headcount. We sell you a working business process, and the evidence that it worked.

The usual pyramid

40 people.

Ten layers of handoffs. A deck that says green.
  • Partners sell, juniors build
  • Status reported in slides
  • Leaves a binder and a goodbye
  • Same problems next year
The AINOW pod

Four to six people.

A deterministic business process. An audit trail that shows what actually happened.
  • The people you meet do the work
  • Status shown in the audit trail
  • Leaves a machine your team can run
  • Gets better every cycle

What you can actually buy

Outcomes first. Technology second.

You are not buying a model. You are buying decisions you can defend and capacity you can put back to work.

01 / Foundation

Map the business.

Objectives become measurable outcomes. Definitions, data sources and required controls are mapped before anything is automated.

You get: an outcome map and a controls map your teams agree on
02 / Build

Wire the business process.

We configure the suite to your business process: where the business process decides, where the model advises, and who approves.

You get: accountable business processs running on your data
03 / Run

Keep it improving.

Hosted on Tropisphere or inside your boundary. Stakeholder input feeds the loop, and owners publish the changes.

You get: business processs and data that improve every cycle

Advisory retainer

Monthly senior judgment, starting now.

Fixed-price three-phase build

Ends with an agent you own. Then we hand you the keys.

Not sure which fits? Pandora asks three questions and suggests one way in.

What you walk away with

Decisions you can defend. Capacity you can redeploy.

01

Decision provenance

Trace any decision to its objective, data, rule and approver.

02

Resource reinvestment

Hours spent chasing approvals go back to real work.

03

Better data every cycle

Feedback fixes data at the source, not just the business process.

04

business processs that pass review

Audit, compliance and AI governance designed in.

05

AI spend you can see

Cost per run, volume and the dollar cost of human review.

The judgment behind it

A data architect’s judgment, built into every business process.

Cheryl Dopp’s work has always been the same job: turning complex, cross-functional information into structures that carry real business meaning. The hard part of enterprise AI is the data foundation, processes, and accountability defined, configurable, and managed for change and drift. It is getting finance, operations, compliance and technology to mean the same thing, under the controls your business requires.

Business meaningYour real definitions of “customer,” “revenue” and “policy,” not guesses.
StandardsNaming, definitions and lineage that survive the next team and the next auditor.
Compliance and controlsApprovals, segregation of duties and evidence, designed in from day one.
Bridging functionsOne structure that finance, operations, compliance and technology agree on.
The Tropisphere suite

Out of the box. Configured to your business process. Accountable at every step.

Identity

IsobarAuth

The single source of truth for who someone is and what they can approve.

business process engine

StormAgentic

Runs the deterministic business process and calls the model only at the steps you mark.

Managed and approved knowledge

NimbusKnow

Context the model can cite, scoped to each user’s permissions.

Stakeholder improvement

CoriolisTune

Input from the CEO to the implementation team. Coriolis proposes; owners publish.

Outcomes and cost

BarometricBoard

Cost, runs, effectiveness and the dollar cost of human review.

Real-time security

Continuous security monitoring across every business process and model call.

What we leave behind

The machine stays.

We don't leave you with a binder and a goodbye. Our pods build configurable self-improveing business processs with human feedback built in, prove what they did and leave a system your team can run. The model is used three ways, and only three.

Under the hood · For the CTO

The business process controls the model. The model never controls the business process.

Every model, tool and data source is allow-listed and reached only through Jetstream. Applications never call each other directly. Every step lands in an append-only record.

Before you sign anything

Three questions to ask first.

Ask them of us, of your current firm, or of Pandora. The answers tell you what you are really buying.

01 · SOW Teardown

How much of your quote is human middleware?

We read the statement of work line by line and show which hours are handoffs, status meetings and slides.

Ask Pandora ↗
02 · business process Triage

Which steps actually need a model?

Most of a business process should be deterministic. We find the few steps that need judgment, and keep the model out of the rest.

Ask Pandora ↗
03 · Boundary Check

Would your agent pass an audit tomorrow?

Who approved it, what data it saw and what it did. If you can't show all three, neither can your agent.

Ask Pandora ↗

From the co-founders

We build the part nobody sees in the demo.

What the data means. Who is allowed to change it. What happens when a step fails at 2 a.m. That judgment goes into every pod we staff, and it stays in the machine after we leave.

“Technology changes. Good architecture lasts.”
