Integrating AI is a full-time job. You already have one.
Grounded Intelligence partners with commercial real estate firms two ways: coaching your leaders until they can build it themselves, or building an AI co-worker that handles the daily work on every desk.

You see AI’s potential, but you’re only scratching the surface.
Every CRE firm we talk to feels the same thing: the gap between what’s possible and what you’re actually doing is getting wider every week.
No One to Own It
Your best people are already maxed out running the business. Asking them to also figure out AI isn’t a strategy.
Small Ball in a Big Moment
The opportunity is enormous and obvious. But without someone dedicated to it, you’re stuck making incremental moves while the window gets smaller.
The Window Is Closing
Every week the gap between early movers and everyone else gets wider. The firms figuring this out now are building advantages that compound.

Who does the building?
Both paths put AI inside your firm's daily work. The only question is whose hands are on the keyboard.
Or run both. Each path stands on its own. Together they compound: your leaders decide what gets built next, and every tool we ship lands in a firm already prepared to use it.
Your next hire doesn’t have to be a person.
When capacity runs out, the default is to hire another person. Instead, we build an AI co-worker that already knows your firm: connected to your data, on every desk, handling the daily work your team shouldn’t be doing by hand. We maintain it, extend it, and train your people to lean on it.

We coach. You build.
The AI Leadership Foundations program: three months, one leader at a time. Real work, real tools, no lectures.
Foundations grows into an ongoing fractional Chief AI Officer partnership: strategy, tooling, and training on retainer.
Or start with one leader: three hours, one-on-one, building something real. If it wasn’t worth their time, you don’t pay.
Pre-Work
You start with a short set of questions about how your division actually runs: the work, the friction, where the hours go.
Coach
One-on-one coaching sessions. Real coaching on your real work, in the tools you'll use every day.
You Map
You map your own process, not us. How the work moves, who touches it, where the leverage hides.
You Build
Then you build your own skill: a working AI tool for your actual job, made with your own hands and tested on your own work.
Roadmap
Everything you mapped and built rolls up into a firm-wide AI roadmap: what to build next, what to buy, and who owns it.

Leaders feel it on day one.
I am probably the least tech savvy division manager… I was able to complete and send 6 proposals in less than an hour.”
I can see the value that you all have created greater than someone who’s been with us a year and a half.”
I use Claude on almost everything I send now, which is easily an hour a day back.”
This is unbelievable. This right here has saved me so much time.”
This is technically my new employee because we don’t have anyone to call.”
Honestly, just been using it for comps, which has been a complete game changer for me… wow. It’s awesome.”
You have questions about security. We wrote the answers into our contracts.
Every firm we talk to has the same concern: what happens to my data when AI touches it? We don’t give conceptual answers. We give contractual ones. Here is what we commit to before we see a single file.
Nothing Starts Without an NDA
Before we access any data, systems, or documents, we execute a mutual NDA. Your deal pipeline, your cap rates, your counterparty relationships: none of it is shared, period.
No Consumer-Grade AI on Your Data
We only use enterprise-tier AI products that contractually prohibit training on your inputs. No free ChatGPT accounts. No consumer chatbots. Every tool we use on your behalf is auditable.
We Never Train on Your Data
Your information is never used to train any AI model, even anonymized. Your configurations, your business rules, and your competitive intelligence remain your property, permanently.
Walled Off from Every Other Client
Every client’s data environment is isolated. What we learn working with you cannot cross over to another engagement. When we’re done, we delete your data within 30 days and confirm it in writing.

We partner with firms ready to change how they work.
AI isn't a tool you bolt on. It's a new way of operating, and getting there takes a real commitment to change. We're looking for firms that believe that, not firms shopping for a vendor.
We earn it every month.
30-day cancellation.
If we're not delivering value, you walk away. We're not Salesforce. We're not locking you in.
You own everything we build.
Skills, systems, training, documentation. It all stays with your firm, whether or not we do.
Pays for itself.
Hires you won't need to make. Backfills avoided. Your best people freed for higher-leverage work.
One of us built a company that runs itself. The other helped build Kane.
