You have probably already been pitched on AI.
It probably did not go well.
Most of what gets sold as AI to firms your size is a chatbot with your logo on it. It sounds confident, it is wrong often enough to matter, and after three months it is nobody's job to maintain it.
That is a fair reason to be skeptical. We would be too. The five rules above are not marketing. They are the conditions we build under, on every engagement.
Three real world examples
Examples of the kind of work we build. Your firm's version would be built around your files and your process.
A firm that writes the same report forty times a year
Now
A project manager opens the last similar report, copies the structure, hunts for the current regulatory language, rebuilds the tables, and writes around the findings. Six to eight hours before anyone reviews a word of it.
With a system in place
The manager loads the field data and the project file. A draft comes back structured the way your firm structures reports, with your standard language already in place and the sections that need human judgment flagged and left empty. The manager writes the parts that require expertise and reviews the rest. The report still goes out over their name, because they still wrote the part that matters.
A firm where one person knows how everything is done
Now
Your most senior person answers the same twelve questions all week. When they take vacation, work slows down. When they retire, twenty years of judgment walks out with them.
With a system in place
Their answers, their standards, and their reasoning are captured in a system every staff member can ask. New hires get the firm's actual answer instead of their best guess. Your senior person gets their week back and reviews the edge cases only.
A firm buried in incoming documents
Now
Everything that arrives gets opened, read, categorized, filed, and routed by hand. It is nobody's favorite job and it is always behind.
With a system in place
Documents get read, sorted, summarized, and routed to the right person with the key points already pulled out. Anything unusual gets flagged for a human rather than filed away quietly.
The range
There is no fixed list of
what can be built.
Those three are where most firms start. They are not the catalog. What we build ranges from a single automated step to a system that runs the whole operation.
Simple workflow automation
One repetitive step, done the same correct way every time.
Website development and upkeep
Built with AI in the workflow, so the site stays current instead of going stale the month after launch.
Custom knowledge assistants
Trained on your firm's own material, answering your firm's questions with your firm's answers.
Training assistants
New hires learn how your firm does it rather than how the internet says it is done.
Documentation and paperwork automation
Intake, drafting, classification, routing, and the reporting that follows.
AI Operating System (AIOS)
One governed system across the business. A coordinated set of custom AI assistants, each dedicated to a core function such as administration, finance, operations, or marketing, running under centralized human oversight. Workflows and metrics are tracked in a custom executive dashboard for visibility and control.
The actual limit
There is no set number of systems that can be built. If you can describe how a piece of your firm works, it can be built. The constraint is what you can imagine, not what is already established to monitor and process the work.
Jack Larriviere, Founder
Fifteen years doing the work before building tools for it
I am Jack Larriviere. Before SageLogic, I spent fifteen years in environmental consulting as an ecologist and a project manager. I wrote the reports. I chased the regulatory deadlines. I rebuilt the same deliverable from scratch more times than I want to count.
That is why this firm is careful. I know what happens when a document goes out with a mistake in it, because it is my name that was on it.
SageLogic is a small firm on purpose. You work with me directly, not with an account manager.
What it costs
How the money works
You are not buying software by the seat. You are buying back time, and the price is set by how much time this work is costing you now.
First we find the number
Before anything is quoted, we run a financial analysis of the specific work. How many hours it takes now. How often it happens. What those hours cost you. What a delay or an error costs when one happens. That produces a documented figure for what this work costs your firm every year.
You keep 85 percent of the savings
Our fee is 15 percent of the savings that analysis documents. Your firm keeps the other 85 percent. If the analysis does not show enough savings to justify a build, we say so and you do not build it. Savings figures are estimates produced by the analysis, not a guarantee of results.
You see the number in writing before you commit
No hourly billing and no open-ended scope. No charge per person and no charge per use, so adding staff never changes your bill and nobody has to ration a tool your firm already paid for.
What you actually pay
$3,000
Design, fixed
The financial analysis, the intake audit, and the full system design. The design is yours to keep and use whether or not you build with us.
$5,000 to $50,000
Build
Set by what the analysis shows you will save and how complex the build is. A single workflow sits toward the lower end. A full operating system sits toward the upper end.
This is a range, not a price list. Those figures are not a fixed minimum and not a fixed maximum. Nothing is quoted from them. Your number is calculated from your own savings analysis, and it can land outside this range in either direction.
Monthly support
Recommended, and not contractually binding. A system nobody maintains slowly stops being worth what you paid for it. You are free to disagree, take it in-house, and cancel at any time.
What happens
What a project looks like from your side
First, we watch how you work
We sit with the people doing the job, map what actually happens, and find the places where time disappears. After that first conversation you complete an Intake Audit, a structured form that captures how the work really flows, what documents and systems are involved, and where it breaks. That audit is what your system design gets built from. If we do not find enough there to justify the cost, we tell you, and you owe nothing further.
Then we design it before we build it
You see and approve the rules, the limits, and who is allowed to do what, before a single thing gets built.
Then we build and try to break it
Typically four to eight weeks. We test it against your real work and deliberately try to make it fail. It does not go live until it passes.
Then we train your people
Owners and managers on one track, staff on another. You keep the written procedures.
Then it is yours to run
Keep us on monthly for maintenance and updates, or run it yourself. Your call.
Who this is for, and who it is not
This is probably a fit if
Your firm produces the same kinds of documents over and over
Your most valuable knowledge lives in a few people's heads
A mistake in your work product costs you money, a client, or a license
You are behind on work and hiring is not the answer right now
This is probably not a fit if
You want a chatbot on your website
You want the AI to make decisions without a person reviewing them
You are looking for the cheapest possible tool rather than a system built around your process
We would rather tell you that in the first conversation than three weeks in.
