What changes for Palmerston North teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
How quickly can we see something running? +
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on? +
A two-week paid discovery for Palmerston North businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Has this actually shipped for a real Palmerston North? +
Yes. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What tools do you build AI demand forecasting on? +
For AI demand forecasting we usually reach for Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Palmerston North team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
