The questions buyers ask before the first call, answered the way we'd answer them on the call.
The AI Readiness Sprint is $9,500 fixed for two weeks: an assessment of your data and workflows, a costed roadmap of where AI pays, and one working proof of concept. Payment is 50% to start, 50% on delivery.
A three-week, $14,500 operations-science engagement for hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics. We find the binding constraint in your patient flow, measure it from your own data, put a dollar figure on every day it persists, and deliver a relief plan with a projected throughput gain. For hospitals in CMS's mandatory TEAM model, the diagnostic produces the 30-day episode cost and flow baseline for each of the five surgery categories.
Yes. Early-stage engagements avoid PHI entirely. Where clinical data is genuinely required, work proceeds under a signed BAA with E&O and cyber insurance in force and minimum-necessary access. Every statement of work states plainly how and whether AI tools touch your data.
No. Client data is never used to train models, never placed in consumer-tier AI products, and never shared across client contexts. Enterprise or API tiers only, with training disabled; human review on every AI-assisted deliverable, and an AI Use Addendum listing exactly which tools touch which data.
Healthcare is the deepest specialty; thirteen years of it. The methods carry to any industry with data and a workflow problem, and non-healthcare engagements are welcome.
Tyler Kent, the principal. Strategy and delivery from the same person; no handoff to junior staff, because there isn't any junior staff.
No. Fixed price or flat monthly retainer, with written acceptance criteria in the statement of work before anything starts.
Yes. Based in San Diego, working with organizations anywhere in the US. On-site time can be scoped in when it helps.
A twenty-minute intro call. Bring the problem; you'll get an honest read on whether it's an AI problem, a data problem, or neither. If there's a fit, a two-page fixed-price proposal follows within 48 hours.
Yes. Live sessions tuned to the audience: executive briefings, hands-on workshops for daily users, and first-steps classes for teams that are new or skeptical. A half-day workshop is $3,500, a full-day intensive $6,000, and a four-week enablement program is $12,000 (details). Taught from 20+ AI adoption sessions inside a national healthcare organization and years of guest lectures in a graduate clinical informatics course at the University of San Diego.
Usually, and finding out costs nothing. Custom engagements get the same treatment as everything else: a scoping call, then a fixed price and written acceptance criteria. If it isn't an AI or data science problem, you'll hear that on the call instead of in a proposal.
If yours isn't here, that's what the intro call is for.
