Wyoming, USA · Serving all 50 states

Infrastructure you own, and AI that never leaves your building.

We design, build and migrate cloud platforms — and deploy open-weight AI on your own hardware. Fixed scope, fixed price, everything handed over as code and runbooks you keep.

45 minutes, no charge, no obligation — you leave with a costed direction either way.

  • $10,000Typical project, fixed price
  • 1–10 weeksTypical delivery window
  • 100%Your hardware, your accounts, your data
  • 40–70%Typical hyperscaler cost gap vs. owned hardware

What we do

Four things, done to a standard you can audit.

We are deliberately narrow. Every engagement lands in one of these four areas, which is why we can quote them at a fixed price instead of billing you to figure it out.

Self-Hosted AI

Run open-weight models on hardware you control — no per-token bill, no data leaving your perimeter.

  • vLLM, Ollama and llama.cpp inference servers, tuned for your GPUs
  • Open WebUI / API gateway with SSO, per-user quotas and audit logs
  • Retrieval-augmented generation over your own documents and databases

Full scope

Cloud Foundation

The boring layer done properly: networking, identity, environments and deploys that survive an audit.

  • AWS, Hetzner, OVH, Proxmox or bare metal — chosen on cost, not habit
  • Infrastructure as code in Terraform/OpenTofu with reviewed state
  • Docker Compose or Kubernetes, sized to the team that has to run it

Full scope

Migration & Cost Rescue

Move off the meter. Most workloads leave hyperscalers 40–70% cheaper without losing reliability.

  • Workload inventory, dependency mapping and a costed target design
  • Rehost or re-platform with a tested cutover and rollback window
  • Database migration with replication and verified data integrity

Full scope

Security, Backup & DR

Backups you have actually restored from, and a recovery plan someone else can follow at 3am.

  • CIS-aligned hardening baseline applied through code
  • 3-2-1 backups with immutable off-site copies and restore drills
  • Documented RPO/RTO targets with a rehearsed failover runbook

Full scope

Who we build for

Two very different clients. One engineering standard.

For individuals

You want your data back.

Researchers, clinicians, lawyers, writers and engineers who are done paying per token — and done sending client material to someone else's servers. We put a capable open-weight model, your documents and your files on hardware that sits in your office.

  • Private assistant with retrieval over your own documents
  • Files, photos, passwords and mail off the subscription treadmill
  • Backups that have actually been restored from, at least once, in front of you
  • A runbook plain enough that you are not dependent on us
Individual packages from $4,000

For businesses

You want it to stop being fragile.

Teams from five to several hundred people whose platform grew by accident: one server nobody restarts, a cloud bill nobody can explain, deploys that happen on Fridays by mistake. We rebuild it as code, with environments, rollback and a recovery plan.

  • Staging and production defined in Terraform, reviewed like code
  • CI/CD with staged rollout and one-command rollback
  • Monitoring, on-call alerting and a rehearsed DR runbook
  • Private AI serving with SSO, quotas and a full audit trail
Business packages from $12,800

How we work

Six steps, and you can stop after any of them.

No retainer to get started, no discovery phase that quietly becomes the project. You own everything we produce at every stage.

01

Discovery call

45 minutes, free

We map what you run today, what it costs, what has to keep working and what "done" looks like.

02

Fixed-price proposal

Within 3 business days

A written scope, architecture sketch, timeline and a single number. No hourly surprises.

03

Build

1–10 weeks

Everything provisioned as code in your accounts, with weekly demos and a shared progress board.

04

Cutover & proof

Scheduled window

Rehearsed migration, a live restore test and load verification before we call it live.

05

Handover

On completion

Runbooks, architecture diagrams, credentials in your vault and training for the people on call.

06

Care (optional)

Monthly

Patching, monitoring, restore drills and capacity reviews — or a clean exit with full documentation.

Pricing

Our two most common engagements.

Half of all projects land in one of these. Both are fixed-price: the number in the proposal is the number on the invoice.

Common questions

The things people ask on the first call.

What does a typical project cost?

Across our published fixed-scope packages the weighted average engagement is $10,000. Individual work starts at $4,000 for a private AI assistant on a single node; business platform builds run $12,800–$27,500; multi-region and regulated estates start at $60,000. Those are list prices you can hold us to, not an average of past invoices.

Is hardware and cloud spend included in the price?

No. Our fees cover design, build, testing, documentation and handover. Hardware, GPU rental, cloud consumption and software licences are billed to you directly by the vendor, so you keep ownership and there is no markup hidden in our invoice. We will size and source it for you at cost plus 10% if you want us to handle procurement.

How do payments work?

50% to schedule the work, 50% on acceptance. Engagements over $20,000 can be split into three milestone payments. We accept ACH, wire and card; net-30 terms are available for established businesses.

Do you work with individuals, or only companies?

Both, and the engineering standard is the same either way. Our individual packages suit researchers, creators and small practices building private AI or a home cloud; our business packages suit companies from five to several hundred people. We expect most engagements to be individual work, because that is where the unmet need is largest.

Let's scope it properly.

A 45-minute call, no charge: we look at what you run today, what it costs and what it would take to own it. You leave with a costed direction whether or not you hire us.
