Applied AI & data value creation

Make big promises.Keep them.

We find where frontier AI belongs in your business, ship it to production, and tie the result to the P&L.

01 / Premise

Everyone can see what AI promises. Few can show the proof.

The gap is rarely the model. It is the distance between a boardroom ambition and a system people use on Monday morning. We close it by doing both jobs: setting the strategy and writing the code.

The promiseThe proof
"AI will transform our operations."&~1,000 manual hours a month returned to the business.
"Our data is an asset."&Data-driven revenue built from zero to $300M+ a year.
"We have dozens of use cases."&40+ evaluated, sequenced, and governed in six months.
"We need it in production."&15,000 queries a second at sub-10ms, live and earning.

Outcomes delivered by our leadership across operating roles and client engagements.

02 / Method

Four moves. One accountable team.

aDiagnose

Where generative AI, agents, and data products create value, and where they don't. A roadmap sequenced by dollar impact and risk.

bBuild

Forward deployed engineers embedded with your team. Working prototypes and production tools in weeks, not quarters: RAG pipelines, evaluation harnesses, agentic and MCP workflows.

cProve

Success criteria set up front: revenue, margin, hours reclaimed, adoption. We stay through rollout so the system is used, not just shipped.

dCompound

Every win becomes a reusable playbook and reference implementation, so the second deployment costs a fraction of the first.

03 / Selected work

Media. Streaming. Sport. Advertising technology.

We work under NDA and let outcomes speak. A sample of recent engagements:

Strategy
A unified media group for a global broadcaster
Operating model · Data · Advertising

Advised on bringing data and advertising together across streaming, ad-tech, and digital divisions into a single operating group.

Investment
A league-scale data and analytics platform
Professional sport · Roadmap

Shaped the strategy, sequencing, and build-vs-buy decisions for a major new data and analytics investment.

Build
A geospatial decision engine for connected TV
Agentic systems · Low-latency serving

Engineered an engine tying 150M+ U.S. building footprints to viewership at ~15,000 queries per second and sub-10ms lookups, opening a new line of ad spend.

04 / The firm

Operators first. Engineers always.

Promise & Proof is a senior team of operators and engineers who have run data and AI inside global enterprises and built it hands-on in startups. Our leadership has taken data-driven revenue from zero to $300M+ a year, stood up enterprise AI governance, and shipped agentic systems that returned thousands of hours to the business.

We work forward deployed: our engineers sit inside your business, next to the people who own the problem, and build with whichever frontier model fits the job, from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to open-weight models from Meta, Mistral, and beyond. We stay small on purpose. The people who scope the work are the people who build it, as comfortable in a codebase as in a boardroom.
