Labs — The Forge
Where AI gets built.
Rapid AI development and implementation that moves at the speed of opportunity.
The Forge
What we do
Workshops & rapid prototyping
A one-day build that turns your best AI idea into a working prototype you can test before you invest. Evidence, not opinion.
Learn moreGenerative AI implementation & automation
We take promising pilots to measured production — integrated with the tools your people already use, governed from day one, instrumented for ROI.
Learn moreCustom AI development
When the tool you need doesn't exist, we build it — designed and delivered by a global network of specialists, with a feasibility stage allowed to say no.
Learn moreHow we engage
Three kinds of build. One standard of candor.
From a single automated workflow to a board-grade bespoke system — we tell you which engagement fits before you spend, including when the honest answer is 'not yet.'
Volume
Who
Small and local businesses ready to put AI to work without standing up a transformation program.
Typical work
Quick, productized wins — a single workflow automated, a tool stood up, a team shown how to use it well.
Pricing shape
Fixed-price packages. You know the cost before we start.
Reality check
Built for speed, not bespoke depth. If your problem is genuinely one of a kind, you belong in Core.
Core
Sweet spotWho
SMEs and professional firms — our sweet spot. Enough complexity to matter, small enough to move.
Typical work
Strategy, prototyping and implementation that lands in production. The full outfitting expedition, scoped to your operation.
Pricing shape
Scoped engagements with clear stages. Each stage earns the next.
Reality check
We turn down work that isn't ready. A discovery call settles whether the timing is right.
Anchor
Who
Regulated and corporate organizations where one mistake costs more than years of efficiency gains.
Typical work
Higher-value bespoke builds with assurance, validation and board-grade governance embedded in delivery.
Pricing shape
Retained and milestone-based. Sized to the stakes.
Reality check
Slower to start by design — the diligence is the point. We won't shortcut the assay to hit a date.
