We fine-tune teams.

Plenty of teams are adopting AI, and many are getting some real initial lift. Efficiency can move a needle, but only up to a point. We help you transcend adoption (making old workflows faster), and start adapting to whole new forms of innovative workflows - people with agents. Measure productivity, sure. But your teams' trust in AI (and in each other while using it), is the metric to manage. Give us a call.

Why We Do It

The World Needs Something New

"Aha!" "Wow!" "Whoah!" The sound you hear when a connection is made between far flung fields sharing similar patterns. We get that eureka moment feeling. Something fresh, before unseen, now clear in the light of day. This is what gets us up each morning. Enjoy a few of these connections with your coffee today.

One Technology, Meets Two Sectors

Food × Beauty

One Trend, Crossing Two Boundaries

Defense × Real Estate

"Digital sovereignty" is why France built its own battlefield AI and why British data centers clear planning.

France is testing its own AI command rather than adopt NATO's, on sovereignty grounds. In the UK, data centers are framed as sovereign infrastructure, even as the public pushes back.

Manufacturing × Ergonomics

"Industry 5.0" means autonomy to Google Cloud and ergonomics to the people who study chairs.

On the manufacturing main stage, Industry 5.0 is the leap from automation to autonomy. To Europe's ergonomics societies, it is a community of practice about people.

One Rule, Two Markets

Agriculture × Automotive

The right to fix what you own: won in the tractor cab, contested in the Bronco.

Farmers just won the right to repair their own equipment. Months later, Ford's CEO argued owners should not be fixing their new Bronco, on safety grounds.

Pork Business, 2026-03-27 · The Drive, 2026-07-01

Finance × Restaurants

The deal that sank Red Lobster is the one Goldman Sachs just paid $410M to own.

Red Lobster sold its restaurants and leased them back to fund a buyout, and the rent helped push it into bankruptcy. Goldman just bought a firm that specializes in exactly that move.

Agriculture × Energy

One fuel rule sent a train of soybean oil out of Nebraska and changed what comes out of your gas pump.

The first unit train of soybean oil rolled because the EPA locked in biodiesel volumes. The same standard is behind the plan to blend more ethanol into summer gasoline.
