How we start

The first question everyone asks. Six steps, from the first look at your systems to the first assessment, and your team keeps working through all of them.

The path.

The onboarding path Six stops on one line: audit of how your work runs today, first tools for the core team, clean data sorted and mapped, the Company Brain searchable with sources, capturing how your best people work, first assessment and next steps. The fifth stop is marked warm, because that is where the judgment of your best people is written down and handed to the brain and the agents. 01 Audit of how your work runs today 02 First tools for the core team 03 Clean data, sorted and mapped 04 The Company Brain, searchable with sources 05 Capturing how your best people work 06 First assessment and next steps The onboarding path Six stops down one vertical line: audit of how your work runs today, first tools for the core team, clean data sorted and mapped, the Company Brain searchable with sources, capturing how your best people work, first assessment and next steps.

Step 05 is where your best people come in

  1. Audit of how your work runs today

    We sit down with one person from each department and walk through the real work: which systems they use, where mandates, leads and documents are kept today, and which questions keep coming back. An hour each, no preparation. At the same time we set up the platform your firm will work on, so the first tools have somewhere to run. You get a written picture, in plain language, of where the knowledge in your firm sits right now.

  2. First tools for the core team

    This runs alongside from the first weeks. Small things that give time back immediately: an assistant that joins a meeting and writes the summary afterwards, a weekly report that arrives in the right inboxes, a voice note that puts something into the system. Nobody has to change how they work to get them, and they are how your team gets used to working with us before we touch anything large.

  3. Clean data, sorted and mapped

    Before a brain can be built, the ground under it has to be sorted. We look at every file and map it to the thing it belongs to: the property, the lease, the tenant, the person. Duplicates are merged, dead files are retired, and one way of filing replaces the four that grew over the years. Your team does its share here, each person with a prepared folder and a short note on what is what. It is the least glamorous step and the one everything after it stands on. When it is done, a new colleague finds things without asking.

  4. The Company Brain, searchable with sources

    We connect the sources and the brain starts reading what flows in. In a handful of working sessions you tell us, in your own words, what belongs in the brain and what stays where it is. The build runs on our side, so nothing stops in your firm while it happens. At the end, anyone can ask a question in normal language and get an answer with the documents behind it.

  5. Capturing how your best people work

    We sit next to your best people while they work. How they qualify a lead, how they price, what makes them walk away from a deal, the question they always ask before they say yes. We write it down, they correct it, and that becomes the standard the brain and the agents carry. From then on everyone in the firm answers the way your best person answers, and what that person knows stays in the firm after they leave.

  6. First assessment and next steps

    We go through what changed, with your people in the room: what runs by itself now, what got faster, where the brain still guesses and where a step is still done by hand. That review decides what comes next: which department follows, which agents get built, what gets cleaned up.

From there it keeps going: more departments, more agents, and a brain that knows more about your firm every month.

What we need from you.

  1. One person who owns the project

    Someone in the management who can decide which department starts and can say yes when a system needs to be connected.

  2. Time with the people who carry the knowledge

    Not a committee. The handful of colleagues everyone else asks when they are stuck, for the audit and for the capture sessions.

  3. A look at the systems you already run

    Whatever your firm works in today stays. The brain is built around the systems you have.

The first step is a conversation.

Bring one question your firm cannot answer today, and we will walk through what the start would look like for you.
