Diagnostic · Compete · Commercialize · Build and Run
Above the AI and below it. Never inside it.
Decide what you're building before anyone builds it.
Three questions every agent asks of your business
- Above the line: can anyone find you?
- At the line: can a machine actually use you?
- Below the line: what do you know that nobody else does?
Where to play: the full framework and examples
We make AI-native real. EpicDX helps platform companies prove how they compete in an agent-driven market, and helps services organizations become software companies. We build, we measure against named competitors, and we run what we ship.
Helping companies go from here to here.
Most AI bets stall in a loop of pilots and decks. We put a decision gate in the way: build, refine or stop. Then we build what passes, and hand it to you to own.
Agents will run your workflows. The value goes to whoever owns the logic they run and the controls around them. We help you own both.
The best builders of technology companies are technologists at their core.
Three decades of venture creation, product building and capital markets work across Silicon Valley and New York. West Coast product speed, Wall Street financial discipline.
What the work proves
Where AI bets break. What changes the decision.
A working demo is not a business. The next step needs evidence: what to build, what to own and what to stop.
- Stalled pilots: a Lighthouse puts an evidence gate before the build.
- Unwritten logic: Logic Capture turns expert judgment into a written rulebook with real-case tests and named rule owners.
- Agent risk: Agent Governance Design defines authority limits, approval paths and rollback procedures.
- Unclear economics: AI Offering and Pricing defines the offering, pricing envelope and go, defer or no-go recommendation.
- AI competition: Platform Bakeoff compares reference builds on your platform and two named competitors.
- Board decisions: the Strategy Diagnostic delivers an agreed decision, prioritized blueprint and sequenced plan.
- We build, we don't audit.
- Controls your auditor accepts.
- We run what we ship.
