The program

No fixed calendar.

Scoped to your company.

Done when your team ships.

Every engagement moves through the same four phases. Some teams run them in a few intensive weeks, others across a quarter. The program ends when shipping with AI is muscle memory, not on a date we picked in advance.

II / The arc

Claude Code and Codex as an operating system, not a chatbot. Everyone gets a workspace, the mental model, and a first real win before the first session ends.

III / Formats

01

Executive briefing

A half-day for leadership on what AI changes, what it does not, and where to place the first bets.

02

Team bootcamp

The full program. Technical and non-technical tracks in one shared workspace, shipping real work at your company's pace.

03

Non-technical teams

Operations, marketing, and finance learn to delegate real tasks to Claude Code and Codex.

04

Train the trainer

We leave an internal champion who can onboard every future hire without us.

What clients say

To say Mark went "above and beyond" is an absolute understatement. I got way more than I paid for. I have some background with prompt engineering, but Mark blew my mind. He's incredibly knowledgeable in what he does.

Mark did an amazing job and went well beyond what I asked for. He's not only brilliant, he wants to set you up for success, so he explains what he's doing and how you can replicate the results.
