Research for the Next Technological Shift.

Seven structured programs. Five fee-based research formats: Technology Opportunity Mapping (where emerging technology can create real advantage), Deep Domain Research Sprint (a focused study of a complex problem space), Prototype Development Program (a working proof-of-concept that tests the core assumption), AI Adoption Strategy (a roadmap for applying AI across products and operations), and Systems Evaluation (independent assessment of an existing model, vendor, or internal prototype). Alongside these, a Fractional CTO Engagement provides embedded senior technical leadership on a monthly retainer, and a selective Founder Equity Partnership takes a founder-level seat with a small number of competitively-qualified startups on an equity basis.

Yes — through the Founder Equity Partnership, which is selective. We take a founder-level seat with a small cohort of technically ambitious startups each year, contributing research, prototype execution, architecture, and IP work in exchange for equity. Admission is by competitive qualification only. The program is not open to standard inquiry and cannot be purchased as a service.

Yes. The Fractional CTO Engagement is a 3–12 month retainer at 1–2 days per week, suited to startups, scale-ups, and innovation teams that need senior technical leadership — architecture, roadmap, hiring, vendor selection, engineering operations — without the cost or runway impact of a full-time CTO hire.

AI is moving faster than most adoption cycles can absorb. GET investigates the underlying technology, studies the client's operational reality, and builds focused prototypes that produce real technical evidence — so leadership can make informed decisions about where to invest, what to build, and what is not yet ready.

Applied AI systems, computer vision (detection, search, inspection, monitoring), audio and multimodal systems (speech, acoustic event detection, cross-modal retrieval), automation and decision support, private infrastructure (on-premise, air-gapped, data-residency-constrained), data systems and search, and evaluation and benchmarking. The constant is technical depth and an appetite for evidence.

Submit an inquiry through the contact form describing the technical challenge or opportunity. A response arrives within two business days proposing a path forward. If the conversation moves to scoping, it is with the same person who will lead the engagement — there is no sales layer.

Yes. Engagements often involve proprietary ideas, sensitive workflows, or strategic technology plans. Our work is handled with appropriate discretion, documentation, and confidentiality controls. We treat confidentiality as a professional standard, not a marketing feature — and structure engagements to support serious technical work without unnecessary friction.

Companies exploring AI adoption, enterprises modernizing operations, founders building technically ambitious products, innovation teams validating new ideas, product teams testing advanced features, and public and private organizations with complex workflows. We work where generic solutions fall short.

Pricing is per scope, not per hour. Initial conversations are free; budget is qualified during the first call so we can return a realistic structure. The contact form asks for an indicative budget range so we can advise honestly when a smaller engagement would answer the question better.
