You see AI’s potential,but you’re onlyscratching 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.

Your next hiredoesn’t have to be a person.
When capacity runs out, the default is to hire another person. But the work that’s crushing your team—the data entry, the reporting, the follow-up—that’s exactly what AI handles best.

We find the problems.Then we fix them.
No twelve-month roadmaps. Real results in 90 days—or we’ll refund the difference.
Diagnose
We meet with your leadership team to identify every process and bottleneck holding back the organization.
Triage
We rank the top three issues, balancing impact and speed, and define success KPIs.
Co-Work
We deploy an embedded engineer who sits next to your team and watches how they actually work—not how they describe it. That gap is where the biggest wins hide.
Solve
We implement alongside your people—co-working, not consulting. The solution gets tested on real work before anything ships.
Transfer
Our goal is to transfer as much as possible to your team. We document, train, and step back so the solution can run without us.

You have questions about security.We wrote the answersinto 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 firmsready 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.
Fractional Chief AI Officer
You believe AI is going to fundamentally reshape your business and you want a strategic partner to get you there. Not a one-time project — an ongoing transformation with someone embedded in your operation.
- Two-hour kickoff. Organizational x-ray. Then we get to work.
- Buy the right tools. Build what doesn't exist. Train your team to own it.
- Month-to-month. We earn your business every 30 days.
Prove It Project
You're not sold yet — but you've got a gnarly problem and you're curious what AI can actually do with it. Pick one. We'll go solve it. No long-term commitment, no pitch deck. Just results.
- One specific problem, fully solved.
- See what's possible before committing to anything bigger.
- Build organizational buy-in before full rollout.
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.
Money-back guarantee.
If you don't see measurable results in 90 days, we'll refund your investment.
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.
