THE PROBLEM

Your competitors are already using AI.

Every week you delay, the gap widens. AI isn't coming — it's already here, and the businesses that understand it are getting proposals out faster, following up better, and operating with fewer people doing more work.

The problem isn't that AI is complicated. The problem is that nobody's shown you where to start — what to use, what to automate first, and how to make it stick with your team.

That's exactly what BlackThread exists to solve.

  • You know AI is important but don't know where to begin
  • Your team resists new tools or doesn't use them consistently
  • You've tried AI tools but haven't seen real ROI yet
  • You don't have time to figure this out yourself
  • You need someone who speaks business, not just tech
WHAT I OFFER

Three ways to work together.

01
Done-For-You AI Setup
BEST FOR 1–10 EMPLOYEE BUSINESSES

You don't have time to learn a new system. I come in, identify your highest-ROI workflows, set everything up, and hand it off with a training session. You walk away with AI running — no guesswork.

  • AI tools configured for your business (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
  • 2–3 automated workflows built and tested
  • 1 team training session (2 hrs) to hand off
  • 30-day check-in included
  • Optional ongoing retainer support

02
AI Case Study
BEST FOR REGULATED & MANDATED COMPANIES

Your leadership has been told to adopt AI but nobody knows which tools, which workflows, or how to do it safely. I research your business, evaluate the right tools against your compliance requirements, and deliver a written recommendation with a clear roadmap — so your decision is documented and defensible.

  • Stakeholder discovery interviews (2–4 sessions)
  • Evaluation of 3–5 AI tools vs. your compliance needs
  • Written case study: current state, tool recommendation, roadmap
  • Risk & compliance notes for regulated industries
  • Leadership presentation (45–60 min)
  • 30-day follow-up check-in

03
AI Training & Adoption
BEST FOR 10–200 EMPLOYEE TEAMS

Your team has been handed AI tools with no direction. I run a structured program that builds real competency — so your people actually use it, and you actually see the ROI.

  • AI Readiness Assessment — where's the ROI in your biz?
  • 4-session workshop series (Mindset → Prompting → Workflows → Agents)
  • Custom AI Playbook for your company
  • 30-day follow-up coaching (2 check-ins)
  • Recorded sessions for onboarding future staff

THE STORY

This isn't my first time doing your job for a computer.

— Two decades of automating tedious work, before it had a name.

My first job in IT was indexing documents — 150 records, lowercase, that the client needed in uppercase. My supervisor ran a single SQL query and fixed all 150 in seconds. I was hooked. Not on the technology — on the idea that you could train a machine to do the tedious work for you.

That instinct followed me to the Canadian oil sands, where I spent six months rebuilding a database nobody had touched in years, then built dozer inspection systems, piping inspection automation, and anything else that someone was wasting hours doing manually.

When I landed a piping inspection role that required 8 hours of copy-paste work per day, I didn't accept it. I built a system that vetted, imported, and scheduled all inspection data in a few clicks — with no mistakes. That's been my approach to every job since.

Today I work in cybersecurity, where I spearheaded AI adoption across my team — building workflows, running training sessions, and helping drive a company-wide mandate to integrate AI into every department. I've seen what it looks like when an organization goes from resistant to fluent.

BlackThread is that expertise brought to businesses like yours. You don't need a data scientist. You need someone who's been automating your kind of problem for twenty years.
