Decks, not deployments.
Consultancies hand you a strategy and walk away. The slides look great. Nothing actually runs in your business on Monday.
FIXED SCOPE
One workflow, defined in writing before we start.
AI workflow implementation
Practical AI, working in weeks.
We diagnose where AI actually pays back in your business, then build and deploy one workflow in two weeks for a fixed price. If it doesn't do what we agreed by day 14, you don't pay.

The problem
Most AI projects stall before they ship.
Tools without context.
Off-the-shelf AI products promise everything and fit no one. They don't know your customers, your parts numbers, or how your shop floor actually works.
Time and money you can't get back.
Twelve-month "transformations" and open-ended retainers are how SMBs end up paying six figures for a pilot that never goes live.
How we work
The Triad: Diagnose. Design. Deploy.
A three-stage method built so you know what you're getting and when it ships before any work begins. The first stage is free. The next two are fixed-price and time-boxed.
Diagnose is a single 30-minute conversation, free, with no follow-up sales sequence. We come in cold, ask about how the business actually runs day-to-day, and look for the high-friction, repetitive workflows where AI tends to pay back fastest.
By the end of the call, we'll have a ranked shortlist of three or four candidate workflows, an honest read on which is worth doing first, and a rough sense of how long it would take. If we don't see anything worth building, we'll say that, bluntly, and you've still walked away with a sharper view of your own operation.
What you get
- A ranked shortlist of workflow candidates
- A recommendation on which to do first
- A rough timeline before any commitment
Once we agree a workflow is worth doing, Design takes one week. We scope it against your real systems: your CRM, your ERP, your shared drive, the spreadsheet someone on your team has been maintaining for six years.
We define exactly what the workflow takes in, what it produces, and how a human stays in the loop. You sign a one-page SOW. The price is fixed. The delivery date is fixed. You know exactly what you're paying for before any code runs.
What you get
- A one-page SOW with exact outcome, price, and delivery date
- A clear picture of what the deployed workflow will and won't do
- A named point of contact for the rest of the engagement
Deploy is where most AI engagements stall. We don't. We build, integrate, and turn the workflow on inside your business, not in a sandbox, not in a demo environment.
The people who'll actually use it get trained, the run-of-the-business documentation gets written, and the workflow runs against real work on real days. If the workflow isn't doing what the SOW says by Day 14, you don't pay. We stay on the line for two weeks of post-launch support, included.
What you get
- A workflow live in your business by Day 14
- Training for the people who use it
- Two weeks of free post-launch support
- A money-back guarantee tied to the agreed outcome
The first engagement
One workflow. Two weeks. Fixed price.
If we agree the workflow is worth doing, we quote a flat fee up front and commit to a 14-day delivery date. If it isn't doing what the SOW says by day 14, you don't pay. No retainers, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
FIXED PRICE
Quoted up front. No hourly billing, no change orders.
MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
Tied to the agreed outcome, not satisfaction-vague.
Who we work with
Built for the businesses that build America.
Manufacturers, distributors, furniture and home-goods makers, field-service operators. The kind of company where the owner still knows most employees by name, where ops happen in spreadsheets and emails, and where every dollar spent on software has to earn its keep.
Yes
- $5M to $50M revenue
- Owner-operated or family-owned
- A few clear, high-friction internal workflows
- Curiosity about AI without the budget for a 12-month consulting engagement
Not yet
- Pre-revenue or pre-product
- Looking for a chatbot for the marketing site
- Wanting to "do AI" without a specific operational pain
- Procurement processes that take longer than a single workflow takes to build
What we build
A starting catalog. Not a menu.
These are workflows we ship most often. The Diagnose call ranks what's worth building first in your business. Your shortlist may include workflows that aren't in this catalog at all.
WF-01
RFQ Triage
What it does
Inbound RFQs sorted, categorized, and routed to the right estimator with the supporting data already attached. Eliminates the daily queue-management work and the late responses that lose bids.
The operational pain
Sales and ops teams manually sorting inbound quote requests, losing bids to slow response times.
What we hand off
Routed quote queue with context attached, integrated into your existing inbox or CRM.
WF-02
Inbound Email Drafting
What it does
First-draft replies to common customer-service emails, written in your voice, ready for a human to review and send. Cuts response time without cutting the human in the loop.
The operational pain
Customer-service staff spending 60–90 minutes a day writing the same twenty types of reply.
What we hand off
Draft replies surfaced in your existing email client or helpdesk, flagged for human review.
WF-03
Quote Generation
What it does
Structured quotes assembled from your pricing logic, current inventory, and historical patterns. Minutes instead of hours. Your estimators review and send; they don't build from scratch.
The operational pain
Estimators spending 2–4 hours per quote pulling data from three systems and a spreadsheet.
What we hand off
Draft quote documents ready for review, with pricing logic documented and auditable.
WF-04
Inventory Reorder Alerts
What it does
Daily or weekly alerts that flag what's about to stock out based on your real demand patterns, not just min/max thresholds. Catches the gaps before they become stockouts.
The operational pain
Stockouts discovered only when a customer calls, or reorders triggered too early because thresholds haven't been updated.
What we hand off
Automated alert feed into your inbox or Slack, with demand data attached.
WF-05
Shop-Floor Exception Monitoring
What it does
Anomaly alerts on production data without dashboards no one looks at. The workflow surfaces what's actually off and sends it to the right person.
The operational pain
Supervisors manually reviewing shift reports to find exceptions, or anomalies going unnoticed until end-of-day.
What we hand off
Exception alerts via SMS, email, or Slack with enough context to act without logging in.
WF-06
Vendor Document Intake
What it does
Invoices, packing lists, and certificates of analysis parsed and matched to open POs. The data goes into your system; the paper stops sitting in an inbox.
The operational pain
AP and receiving teams manually keying vendor documents into ERP or accounting software.
What we hand off
Parsed document data pushed to your ERP or accounting system, with exceptions flagged for human review.
WF-07
Sales Call Notes & CRM Update
What it does
Recorded calls turned into structured CRM updates with next steps, key details, and follow-up date, without the rep having to type anything after the call.
The operational pain
CRM data that's always 3 days stale because logging takes 20 minutes nobody has after a call.
What we hand off
Structured call summaries pushed into your CRM fields, ready for review and merge.
WF-08
Internal Knowledge Search
What it does
Answers from your own SOPs, drawings, and tribal-knowledge docs, surfaced in plain language without requiring someone to know which file to look in.
The operational pain
New hires and shift workers stopping experienced staff every hour to ask questions that are somewhere in a doc nobody can find.
What we hand off
A searchable internal assistant scoped to your document library, with source citations.

That's the most common case. Book a Diagnose call and we'll work it out together.
Book a Diagnose callAbout TriadLab
An implementation lab for the businesses that build America.
Why we exist
Most American SMBs are running on a stack of email threads, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge, and most AI hype is aimed somewhere else. We started TriadLab because the businesses that build, distribute, and service this country deserve practical, working AI, not another twelve-month transformation deck.
We build small things that ship, then come back for the next one.
How we're different
We're an implementation lab, not a consultancy. We don't write strategy and disappear. We don't bill by the hour. Every engagement has a fixed price, a fixed scope, and a date. If we don't deliver, you don't pay.
We'd rather quote conservatively and ship than promise the world and stall.
Who we work with
A small lab. A fixed method.
SHIPS · STAYS · DOESN'T DECK
TriadLab works primarily with manufacturers, distributors, and operators across the country. Companies in the $5M to $50M revenue range where every workflow we build pays back fast.
Where we work
In person where it makes sense. On video everywhere else.
