A boutique AI firm for environmental response and heavy-equipment companies. We find the boring parts of your operation — and make them disappear.
Work
Nights and weekends, the model keeps working. It drafts the dispatch notes, manifests, and audit-ready paperwork; a person approves. Both are on the record.
Lot descriptions, condition reports, the paperwork that moves equipment. In a recent pilot, days of it came back in hours.
Tech
Strategy first: we study where the hours go, then build on open-weight models — the right one for each job — on our hardware or yours.
Private inference
On hardware we control — or yours. Not on a public cloud. Not in anyone's training pipeline.
Open-weight, kept current
Llama, Qwen, Mistral — we pick per job. When a better version ships, we move to it. No lock-in.
A written data charter
No third-party training. No third-party egress. Your data stays yours.
A human holds the last word
The model drafts. A person approves. On the record.
Introducing Resonance
Resonance is our private networking layer. It puts your people, your sites, and your systems on the same secure wire — across offices, shops, and the field — without a public cloud in the middle. It is how you reach the private inference pipeline, and it is built on the same rule as everything we make: private by architecture, not by policy.
Nobody in the middle
Traffic flows device to device over encrypted tunnels. Not through a vendor's network. Not through ours, when it doesn't have to be.
End to end, always
Every hop is encrypted on the wire. When a relay is needed, it passes ciphertext it cannot read.
Only people you approve
Devices join by invitation, one at a time, under your control. Leave anytime — your network, your rules.
Resonance is in private beta — invites are issued personally.
Our open-weight models, running on our hardware, reachable only through Resonance. Give your team AI without giving a public cloud your data. Same rule as everything we make: private by architecture, not by policy.

FAQ
Depends on the job. After one conversation we'll scope a pilot and give you a number. You'll know the cost before any work starts.
The environment you approve. Private inference on our hardware or yours, under a written data charter: no third-party training, no third-party egress.
A small team can only answer for so much work. Fewer clients, better work — that's the whole trick.
