An AI consulting practice anchored in Cambridge

01

Where the firm lives

Cambridge anchor, national clients

Our registered address is in Cambridge, MA, a few minutes from Kendall Square, the cluster that has become the center of applied AI in the United States. The firm is based there, and most of our work happens elsewhere. Our clients are operators across asset management, legal, retail, healthcare, and enterprise software, and our partners spend the majority of their weeks embedded with those teams. The Cambridge anchor matters because it shapes who we hire, who we call when an engagement needs a subject-matter expert, and how we think about the path from research to production. It does not mean we expect clients to come to us.

The ecosystem premium

Why Boston-pedigreed matters for enterprise AI

Cambridge and Boston produce a particular kind of practitioner. The proximity of two research universities and a venture community that has funded applied AI for two decades creates a talent pool trained to move between research and application without losing either side. That matters for enterprise AI work specifically, because the failure mode is rarely the model and usually the translation. Most pilots that stall do so at the seam between a working prototype and a production system that survives audit, integration, change management, and the second quarter. A Boston-pedigreed advisor is, at minimum, a useful signal that the firm has done that translation before. We treat it as a baseline credential.

The practitioners

Who you'll work with

Every engagement is led by a partner of the firm. The partners' backgrounds span forward-deployed data science at Booz Allen and BCG, quantitative research on a $2B hedge-fund book, MIT Leaders for Global Operations (Sloan MBA and Engineering MS), Columbia engineering, and systems engineering turned operations leadership. That is the translation layer between technical capability and business operations.

The work

What we work on, in Cambridge and out of it

The engagements we run out of Cambridge tend to fall into a few shapes. Asset managers ask us to compress research-to-production time on quantitative strategies. We recently stood up an equity index backtesting environment for a $55B US pension fund that turned a quarterly process into a daily one. Law firms ask us to take repetitive associate work, pre-litigation interviews, document assembly, citation review, and put it inside an LLM agent that a partner can supervise. Retailers ask us to forecast demand at a granularity their ERP cannot reach. Enterprise software companies ask us where AI belongs in their roadmap, and more usefully, where it does not. The geography of the work is national, but the discipline behind it is shaped by where we sit.

Practical next step

How to engage

The first conversation is a thirty-minute call with a founding partner, with no slides and no junior associates taking notes. You describe the problem you are trying to solve or the decision you are trying to make. We tell you whether we are the right firm for it, and if we are not, who is. If there is a fit, the next step is usually the Diagnosis: three weeks, fixed fee, a written verdict, so that any larger commitment is made against a real artifact rather than a sales conversation. Cambridge-based clients often prefer to meet in person. National clients almost always prefer video. Either is fine.
