What We Do

Three Ways AI Creates Value in Your Organization

Every engagement starts with a real operational need — not a technology demo. The right approach depends on what you're trying to solve.

AI Workers
"I have a role that doesn't need a human."

Scalable Capacity

A recurring process in your operations is consuming headcount it shouldn't. An AI Worker takes over that role — with defined scope, a reporting line, and measurable KPIs. It runs daily, handles exceptions, and frees your team for higher-value work.

Common examples

Invoice processing, logistics documentation, performance monitoring, compliance intake

50% labor reduction

AI Workers
AI Solvers
"I have a problem too big for my team."

One-Time Heavy Lift

You're facing a massive operational challenge — categorizing 100,000 parts, researching M&A comparables, migrating tens of thousands of patient records. Your team could do it, but it would take months. An AI Solver does it in days.

Common examples

Mass data categorization, M&A research with comparables, large-scale system migrations, regulatory filing preparation

AI Transformations
"We need to redesign how we work, not just add tools."

Organizational Redesign

Deploying AI tools isn't a transformation. A transformation is redesigning the structure underneath — the standards, the performance systems, the org design, and the roles — so your organization can grow without growing overhead linearly.

What it covers

SOPs & documentation, performance management, AI Workers deployment, org design, change enablement

6 pillars. One coherent system.

The Moment We're In

The organizations that win aren't adding AI to their existing structure.
They're redesigning the structure itself.

Most AI deployments underdeliver — not because the technology is wrong, but because the organization wasn't designed to run with it. The standards don't exist. The KPIs aren't tracked. The roles haven't been redesigned.

The trap most organizations fall into
Waiting for the technology to stabilize before changing how they work. The organizations adapting now are building the muscle while the tools are still maturing. By the time the dust settles, they'll be two years ahead.
The question that actually matters
Not "which AI tools should we buy?" — but "how do we need to reorganize so that AI makes us structurally more capable?" That is a harder question. It is also the right one.
How We're Different

Operations Consulting Meets AI Engineering

Most AI companies sell technology. Most consultancies sell strategy. We design and deploy AI systems that do real work inside your organization — scoped to a bottleneck, measured on results, and built to be maintained.

Scoped to a Bottleneck

Every engagement starts with a specific operational constraint — not a roadmap or an assessment.

Built for Production

Our solutions run daily inside real businesses, handling real data, with real accountability.

Measured on Results

We define KPIs upfront and measure against them. If it doesn't move the needle, we haven't delivered.

Who Builds This

Philippe Marcotte, Managing Director & Founder

I led AI and analytics transformation engagements at McKinsey as an Engagement Manager, then built and operated a VC-backed network of tech-enabled medical clinics where I had to implement it — not just recommend it. As a partner at Cylad Consulting, I delivered AI-enabled solutions inside complex industrial organizations. Sterling North is where all of that converges.
