Turn your 5x team
into a
40x team.

Keep the people who know your business. Give them the AI skills, tools, and workflows the frontier is shipping — benchmarked against a median that moves daily. Stand still, and they'll fall behind by default.

How it works

Skills decay against a moving market.

Your best people were 1.0x the day you hired them. Most teams sit below the median for their roles today — and the median moves monthly. Not because they got worse. Because the floor rose and nobody moved them with it.

The core program

Keep your people.
Close the gap.

The people who know your customers, ops, and hard-earned relationships aren't the problem. The skill gap is. Keep context inside the company, move your team onto AI tools and workflows that the frontier already uses, and get the business to the right side of the median before the market moves past it.

See curriculum
01Program point

Industry-current curriculum. Rebuilt every quarter against what frontier teams are actually shipping — not last year's playbook.

02Program point

People benchmarked to their actual jobs. Each employee is measured against the live median for the role they do, not generic AI fundamentals.

03Program point

People re-benchmarked on your cadence. Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual — skip a cycle and that person's multiplier starts sliding back.

Your strategy

Get your AI infrastructure strategy

An enterprise adoption blueprint, engineered from live benchmark data on what frontier models and teams are actually shipping — mapped to your stack, your team, and your goals.

[1]

Benchmark your team against the live median

Every person measured against the rolling 30-day median for the role they actually do — across 160+ AI-proficiency signals.

[2]

Map your AI tooling — and the gaps

Every skill, tool, and workflow charted into one living graph — so you see exactly where your team sits behind the frontier.

[3]

Get a sequenced rollout roadmap

What to adopt first and what comes next — sequenced from what frontier teams are actually shipping, tuned to your stack.

Track lift as the median moves

Adoption, proficiency, and multiplier lift tracked quarter over quarter — so the investment stays ahead of a bar that rises daily.

Pages of Paul A. David, "The Dynamo and the Computer: An Historical Perspective on the Modern Productivity Paradox," American Economic Review, 1990

Electricity didn't transform the factory. The redesign did.

  • The most common mistake with any new technology: drop it into the old organization and declare the transformation done.
  • Factories that “adopted” electricity barely got faster — they swapped engines and changed nothing else.
  • The gains arrived only when the factory was redesigned around the new power.
  • AI is the same mistake, replaying right now. Bolt it on and you've bought a faster steam engine. Implement it at the core and you create an autonomous system of agents that multiply the productivity of your team and product.
Two ways to a 40x team

Upskill the people you have. Hire the ones you don't.

Right now, someone in your market is rebuilding the way work gets done. It isn't you — yet. Every quarter you wait, their lead compounds and your team slips further below a median that doesn't wait for budget cycles.

There are two ways to close the gap. The third option is the one most companies choose — wait, and become the case study.

From the founder
“If you're AI proficient, it's kind of like you come with 50 team members of your own.

The host of the largest business podcast in the world hired me this year. In his words, he didn't just get me — he got fifty agents working alongside me: going through the business, re-architecting systems and upskilling employees through AI expertise. And the line for what counts as being AI Proficient keeps moving forward.

Your team is on one side of the line or the other — and right now, most leaders are guessing which. Don't guess. Measure where every person stands against a real-time benchmark for their role, and implement an AI-first infrastructure.

Every day you wait, your competitors get farther ahead.

Choose how often you close the gap.

Train your team once — then protect the investment as the bar keeps rising. Pick the cadence each role gets re-benchmarked against the live median: tighter for fast-moving teams, lighter for steady ones, so no one quietly slips below today's standard.

Semi-annual
Re-benchmark twice a year. For roles whose workflows shift in seasons, not sprints.

Core cohort starts at $460 per employee per quarter for training and the first benchmark. Re-benchmarking starts at the prices above. Candidate screens are separate and billed only when an applicant starts the test.

Keeping a senior costs 0.1% of replacing one.

Replacing a senior means lost context, a 60-day search, onboarding, and a productivity gap. Keeping them above the median is a rounding error.

Cost exposure

Lost context + 60-day search + onboarding + productivity drag.

Every quarter you wait, the gap stops being closeable.

Start with a 15-minute team-gap check. We'll map your people to the work they actually do, show where the current benchmark sits, and tell you who needs training, re-benchmarking, or no action at all.
