Turn your data into your best decisions

We build the data foundation, engineer AI on your own stack, and train the people who inherit it — working systems in weeks, for mid-market and enterprise teams that have been handed an AI mandate and no path.

What we do

Four competencies, delivered by one team.

Everything we take on leaves you with a working system and the tools to take on bigger challenges.

Analytics & BI

Reporting leadership actually opens.

  • KPI dashboards tied to the numbers the board tracks
  • Self-serve reporting on a single governed data model
  • Baseline and before/after measurement for every initiative

Data + AI engineering

Built on your stack, owned by you.

  • Pipelines, warehousing and integration across scattered source systems
  • LLM applications, agents and workflow automation
  • Data and AI strategy and use-case discovery, scoped and delivered in weeks

Workforce AI upskilling

Role-specific, hands-on, scored.

  • Courses and simulations built on your real workflows, not generic tools
  • Objective proficiency scoring: measured skill, not attendance
  • Artificial intelligence awareness training program certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) under Texas law

Insights & advisory

Senior-team consulting, end to end.

  • Surveys and primary research run end to end: instrument, field, analyze
  • Reports and summaries your clients can put their name on
  • Executive-ready insights and recommendations

What we solve

Most of our projects start with one of these sentences.

01

“Every question turns into a spreadsheet hunt.”

See the fix
What it usually is

Data is split across systems, and every answer needs an analyst you don't have.

Where we start

One governed model and a dashboard tied to the numbers leadership tracks.

02

“We paid for an AI plan. Nothing got built.”

See the fix
What it usually is

A roadmap and a pilot, and neither is in daily use.

Where we start

The one use case worth the most, built on the systems you already have, in weeks.

03

“We rolled out the tools. Nobody uses them.”

See the fix
What it usually is

Training taught the tool, not the job. Attendance was 100%; adoption was not.

Where we start

Custom training built on your team's own work, applied the next day.

04

“Leadership asked what to do, not for another dashboard.”

See the fix
What it usually is

The charts exist. The analysis of what to do next does not.

Where we start

Research and a clear recommendation you can act on this quarter.

What we've built

Software we designed, built and operate ourselves.

01 — Training platform

Tailored Sim

Courses, projects and job simulations with an AI coach that scores real work. Used by professionals at sports teams, software companies and consultancies.

Exercise · Lesson 2
Fix a query that double-counts revenue

Finance says these numbers are 3× too high. Diagnose why before you touch the SQL.

SELECT o.month, SUM(o.amount) AS revenue
FROM orders o
JOIN order_items i ON i.order_id = o.id  ⚠
GROUP BY o.month;

The join fans orders out across their items, so amount is summed once per line item…

02 — Interview practice

Consulting Case Prep

Case interview practice with an AI interviewer that runs the case, pushes back and scores the answer the way a partner would.

Maya · InterviewerYour client is a regional airline losing $40M a year. The CEO wants profitability inside 18 months. How would you structure this?Exhibit 1: Cost base by line · PDF
I'd split the problem into revenue and cost drivers, starting with the cost side: fuel, labor and fleet utilization.
Maya · InterviewerFuel is hedged through next year. Does that change your structure?
Then labor productivity becomes my first branch: crew scheduling and turn times.
03 — Sales roleplay

Sales Engineer Onboarding

Live voice practice calls for sales engineers: technical discovery, demos and POC scoping, with a candid scorecard after each one.

How we engage

A plan you step into, not a proposal you evaluate.

Three moves, in order. Each one ships something your team uses before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Data Foundation

    We join your source systems into clean, analysis-ready data and put the KPIs leadership cares about on one screen.

    Ships: governed data model, pipelines, KPI dashboard, baseline measurements.

  2. 02

    AI Build

    Custom AI on your own stack — LLM apps, retrieval over your knowledge, agents and automations — scoped to the use cases with a measurable payoff.

    Ships: working system in production, documented and owned by you.

  3. 03

    Adoption

    Hands-on, role-specific upskilling for the people who inherit the system, with proficiency scored objectively before and after.

    Ships: trained team, proficiency scores, before/after evidence.

Who you'd work with

Founded by people who have built and run the systems.

For prime contractors

Defined workstreams you can sub with confidence.

We join pursuits as a small-business subcontractor with scoped, named workstreams and registrations in order:

  • Data integration & reconciliation
  • Reporting & analytics
  • Training & organizational change management

Texas public-sector AI awareness training

Certified AI awareness training, aligned with Texas law.

Texas Government Code Sections 2054.5191 and 2054.5193 require certain state and local government employees and officials to complete a certified artificial intelligence (AI) awareness training program. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), in consultation with the Public Sector AI Systems Advisory Board, certifies eligible training programs to comply with this requirement.

Tailored Sim's program is certified by DIR for 2026–2027 and supports efforts to prepare the public sector workforce to use artificial intelligence responsibly. Certification applies to program content only.
