02 // THE STORY
How we got here.
2024
Started asking the wrong question.
I thought the challenge was technical: pick the right model, build the right pipeline, ship the dashboard. It wasn't. The technology was the easy part. The hard part was understanding the business well enough to know what to build.
The pattern
It's always the same problem.
Every company I touched had the same gap: operational data scattered across five tools, a leadership team making decisions on gut instinct, and a stack of AI vendor pitches that all sounded the same. Nobody was translating between the data and the business.
The pivot
From consultant to embedded partner.
I stopped showing up with slide decks. I started joining the 7am calls, learning every employee's name, sitting in on operations meetings. The work got better immediately. You can't build intelligence for a business you observe from the outside.
Now
Six clients. Zero pilots.
Systems running in production for six clients across six industries and three clouds, plus two products of our own. And a written record of the ones that didn't work: the models we killed, the numbers we got wrong the first time, the bill we told a client was too high. We stay long enough to find out which is which.
PurviewX exists because I kept seeing the same gap: companies that need AI leadership, not AI vendors. The difference is staying.
