Three tiers. One ladder.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and priced in advance. Start where it makes sense; climb only if it pays.
Recon: Assess before you spend
A fixed-fee readiness assessment of your operation. We map your back-office workflows, score the automation candidates, and run honest build-vs-buy analysis on any vendor you're considering.
Exit ramp: a plan you can execute with anyone — including without us.
- Workflow map with hours-saved estimates
- Vendor security questionnaire & evaluation
- A roadmap with real price tags — build, buy, or skip
Forge: We build it, you own it
Purpose-built tools designed around your needs, privacy requirements, and budget — deployed to your infrastructure. Local, on-premises AI available for complete dominion over your data.
Exit ramp: a Sustain retainer keeps it healthy — updates, monitoring, and a response SLA.
- Fixed-price builds scoped from your Recon
- Deployed to your systems, integrated with what you run
- On-prem AI option: nothing leaves your building
Beyond the build
Sometimes the thing we forge for you solves a problem your whole industry has. When that happens, you're not just holding a tool. You're holding an asset.
ForceForge helps you take it to market: we handle the licensing structure, deploy and support it for each new organization, keep every installation updated and secure, and manage the operations so you never have to become a software company. You own the product. You collect the licensing revenue. We run the shop floor.
The tool you commissioned to save money can start making it.
Embed: We build your team
Your domain experts already know the business better than any consultant will. We embed with your team, learn how the work gets done, and train your people to streamline it themselves.
Exit ramp: an on-call subscription — a few hours a month, whenever you need a hand.
- Hands-on AI training for your existing staff
- Over-the-shoulder support building real tools on real work
- Playbooks your team keeps — and keeps improving
Put something on the anvil
Bring us the problem, the workflow, or the team. We'll tell you honestly whether to build it, buy it, or learn it — and then we'll help you do exactly that.
