If the audit finds nothing worth building, you don't pay.

Arun Agrahri & Cédric Giorgi

"We don't sell what we haven't lived. Our own company, two people, runs on the system we install: AI processes our meetings, drafts our reports, keeps our CRM honest. You'll see the proof in every letter."

The path

01 Audit: $2.5–5K
02 Implementation: scoped
03 Operated: scoped

Stop whenever it stops paying.

You already know AI matters. You've been offered two bad options.

New message · someone you've never met

"Hey! I noticed you run a company. I can automate everything you do by Friday. Quick call this week?"

Meanwhile, somewhere, a company your size is rebuilding itself around AI, and your industry's next decade is being decided now.

There is a third option: a two-week, fixed-scope audit that shows what to build, in what order, and what it returns. Then you decide.

Our approach

Your operating manual, and the AI that runs it.

You already have one: the way things get done here, carried by the people who do them. We write it down, then build the systems that run it with you.

The build order

Seven layers, and where each step stops.

Most AI projects fail because someone started at the last line instead of the first. A tool that answers your customers is only as good as the information behind it.

We work down the list in order. Every layer is worth something on its own, so you can stop at any one of them and keep what you have. The mark against each one shows the usual split between what the audit settles, what we build, and what we keep running. Your build order can move that line.

01

Where your information lives

One honest picture of what you know, and where it actually sits today.

02

Getting your systems talking

Your existing tools, connected, so nobody retypes the same thing twice.

build
03

How your company decides

Your house rules, written down: the judgment your team applies without thinking.

04

The first workflow

One process, running end to end, on the work you already do every week.

05

Weekly quality checks

Someone measures whether it is still right, every week, and shows you.

06

Your own skill library

Each thing we build stays yours, reusable, and adds to what came before.

07

The AI that runs it

Last, and only once the six above it are in place. It works in the background, and your team approves the results.

How we choose

What makes a good first one.

how much time it eats: hours a week, every week
where the information lives: your systems, or people's heads
how many people touch it: one, or a chain of them
what we come back with: the one to build first

We answer these three in your business, never from a benchmark. Then the audit puts a number on what one more year of that process costs you.

Start smaller than you'd expect.

Every engagement is fixed in scope and credits toward the next step. You are never buying a retainer on faith.

What happens after you apply

Four conversations, and the work in between.

No pitch on the first call. If we can't name a process worth fixing by the end of it, we'll tell you so and stop there. It costs you half an hour.

The deep dive is where the value is: 90 minutes inside how the work actually moves through your company. You'll know the price before anyone asks you to decide, and what comes back is yours whether or not you build with us.

Audit

$2.5–5K

Two weeks at most, one fixed deliverable. Where AI pays off first in your business, and who inside the company has to own it for it to stick.

Where your operations stand today, and what waiting costs you
Your build order: the seven layers, in the sequence that works
Fee credits 50% against implementation if signed within 30 days

$2.5K covers most companies. It moves toward $5K when more people are involved, more processes are in scope, or your information sits in more places.

What the audit costs, day by day

Apply for an audit

What comes after.

Neither of these is a decision you make today. Both are priced from what the audit finds.

Implementation

scoped

4 to 12 weeks, fixed scope. We build exactly what the audit scoped, in the order it laid out, with a working demo in a shared channel every working day.

Priced from what the audit finds. You see the number before you decide anything.

Operated

scoped

The system, run for you: weekly quality checks, fixes when something drifts, and a new capability every month, so it compounds instead of decays.

Priced once we know what we are running for you. Monthly, and you can stop.

See it worked through

The same thing, in a company like yours.

Five worked examples, one per sector: what the audit found, what we would build first, and what the week looks like afterwards. The companies are composite and the arithmetic is printed beside every figure.

Proof

We don't sell what we haven't lived.

Our company runs Sena, AI that matches people at live industry events, used by teams who don't write software. And the company itself runs on a private skill library: 20-plus AI systems that do the operational work of a staff we never hired.

Two founders, no operations team. The operating system is the operations team.

We publish how it works, what breaks, and what it saves, in our letters.

Owners talking to owners.

Arun Agrahri

Managing Partner

Serial founder based in San Francisco, with two exits (Snap and Manulife). Builds the systems, writes the letters, and runs the ones behind our own company as well as yours.

Cédric Giorgi

Managing Partner

Twenty years in European tech, from Sigfox to co-founding La French Tech Toulouse. Works alongside your team on the ground, and hosts Conversations: owners of traditional businesses on what AI actually changed.

The letter

How a traditional business becomes AI driven, with proof.

Essays from running our own company on AI, and from the work inside other people's. What worked, what broke, what it cost. Written for owners, not engineers.

Conversations · the podcast

Owners like you, already running on AI.

Cédric sits down with owners of traditional businesses who put AI to work inside their companies. No vendors, no futurists, no demos: just what actually changed.

First conversations are being recorded now.

Fair questions.

We're not a tech company. Will this work for us?

That's exactly who this is for. We build around the work you already do: invoices, quotes, follow-ups, reporting, hiring. Your team keeps working the way they know; the system adapts to them, not the other way around.

What happens when it breaks or drifts?

AI systems decay without attention, which is why the operated tier exists: weekly quality checks, fixes when something breaks, and a new capability shipped every month. If you'd rather run it yourself, you own everything we build, including the skill library.

Why not a big consultancy, or a cheaper freelancer?

A consultancy will sell you a strategy before anything works. A freelancer will sell you a script without a system around it. We sell staged, fixed-scope steps where each one credits toward the next, and you can stop at any point and keep everything we've delivered.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The system, the documentation, and the private skill library: your team's judgment, written down so the AI runs things your way. We hand off cleanly whether you keep us on or not.

What is the audit, and what is it not?

It is not an inspection. Nobody arrives to collect your documents and grade you. It is two conversations: 30 minutes, free, to see whether there is anything here worth doing, then 90 minutes going deep on how the work actually moves through your company. What comes back is the one thing to build first, why that one, and what it returns. Where a number can't be measured, we leave it blank instead of estimating it.

Our IT provider says they can do this. Why you?

They can sell you licences and a training day, and if that's what you need, take it. Ours is a different job: we go inside one process, change how it runs end to end, and stay until it holds. Two questions worth asking them: who writes down your team's judgment so the AI applies it, and who checks every week that it's still right.

Does my team have to learn to use AI?

No. It works in the background, inside the tools your team already opens. What reaches a person is a draft, a suggestion or an exception, and their job is to approve it, correct it, or say no. Nothing new to log into, no course to sit through. Every new step starts with a person checking each result, and only runs on its own once it has been right for two weeks straight.

Two weeks. A plan you can defend.

From $2.5K, fixed scope, half of it off the build if you go ahead within 30 days, and the first call is free. You'll know what to build, in what order, and what it gives back, before you commit to building it.

Tell us the one process that costs you most. One of us reads every application and answers it with a name.

We invoice in US dollars from Sena Technologies, Inc.; the French page shows the same amounts in euros.

We reply within two business days, always with a name. No sequence, no chasing.

Decades of your work. Multiplied by AI.
