For AI experts·top 5% only
We don’t want
most AI experts.
The range of “AI expert” is enormous, and most of it isn’t good enough for the executives we serve. We’re looking for roughly the top 5%— and we’ll prove it with vigorous, ongoing testing. If that’s not you, we respect your time enough to say so up front.

The bar.
- 01You ship production AI — agents, RAG, evals, fine-tunes — not slides.
- 02You've owned an LLM system with real users, real traffic, and real failures.
- 03You can explain a hard tradeoff to a CFO in plain English.
- 04You move fast — you can scope and start a real problem the same day.
- 05You debug models, not just code: evals, traces, and root cause.
- 06You know your limits and name them before they cost someone money.
- 07You'd rather kill a weak approach early than defend it in a deck.
- 08You read the research that matters and skip the hype that doesn't.
- 09You keep learning in public — the field moves weekly, and so do you.
- 10You'll prove all of this on a live call, on demand, and welcome it.
How we keep the bar high.
Talk is cheap in AI, so we don’t rely on it. After you join, we’ll periodically call you out of the blue with a few skill-testing questions and ask you to reason through a real problem in the moment. You use AI every day — that’s the job. But not here: these calls verify you, unaided, on the spot. They come with no warning — completely unexpected — and land between 9am and 5pm PST. Stay sharp.
