The SAGE Stack

I make your business legible to machines. Inside, that means workflows an AI can actually run. Outside, it means a website an AI can actually read and cite.

Two surfaces, one problem

Machines now decide a lot about your business. They decide which work gets done without you touching it, and they decide whether anyone finds you when they ask an AI a question. Both come down to the same thing: whether a machine can read what you have.

Inside: your workflows

Most of the hours you lose go to work a machine could do, inside tools you already pay for. The 10-Hour Map finds the top 5 to 8 of those, scored by payoff against effort, and proves one of them live in your real workflow within 7 days.

Outside: your website

AI answer engines cite sources they can parse and verify. A site built for human skimming is often structurally invisible to them. Answer Engine Optimization fixes that: lead with the answer, keep the DOM shallow, and back every visible claim with matching structured data.

Start with the free scan

The AI-readiness scan runs the same audit on your URL that paying clients get, and tells you where an AI answer engine loses the thread. No email required to see the score.

From there: read the AEO implementation guide, look at how engagements work, or check the FAQ.

No vendor commissions

Nothing here is paid for by a software vendor, so the recommendation only serves you. If the honest answer is that you should cancel a tool rather than add one, that is the answer you get.
