Every small business eventually hits the same wall: the field work brings in the money, the admin keeps piling up, and the operations person you need is either too expensive to justify or too difficult to find.
We build the system that keeps it running anyway. Estimates out, invoices sent and chased, and paperwork moving whether or not you had time to touch it that day.
And we build it with the same safety discipline used to put e-stops on real machines, so it fills the seat without ever being able to run away with your business.
But the estimates still have to go out. The invoices still have to be sent and chased. The back office does not run itself, and the person who could run it is a hire you cannot justify yet, or cannot find at all. So it lands on you, after hours, again.
Here is what we build to fill that seat, safely.
03 / What we build for you
Three ways to fill the seat.
Start with the one that fits. Most owners begin by handing us the day-to-day and grow into the rest.
01 / Operate
The recurring work that piles up, run for you.
Your back office keeps moving even though you never staffed one. Estimates go out, invoices are sent and chased, and the two money-sends stay in your hands. The same operator runs your marketing: content and video, a give-away funnel, and comment-to-DM lead capture on a measured growth playbook.
Proof: built and hardened for real operating conditions, with sending an estimate and sending an invoice kept behind a human gate by design. The marketing side runs on our own brand first, a live give-away funnel with comment-to-DM capture, ads assembled from real product footage, and market-validated growth data.
02 / Govern
The structural interlocks, installed before AI touches money or customers.
Before you let AI touch money or customers, we install the structural interlocks that make the wrong action structurally impossible. We put e-stops on machines for a living.
Proof: fail-closed gates that block a release on any integrity failure, a money kill-switch anyone can trip and only a human can clear, an alarm that refuses to report healthy while blind, and a founder who installs industrial safety systems for a living.
03 / Build
Custom agents and production software, built to hold.
We design and stand up your fleet of AI coworkers, each with a defined role and a scope it cannot exceed, doing unattended work on your own private infrastructure. When they need real software under them, we build production applications with a governed build process and adversarial review.
Proof: a live fleet of a dozen defined roles doing scheduled, unattended work, plus a repeatable hiring process that tests every new agent and will refuse one that fails. The software carries byte-frozen financial math proven identical on every deploy, sits behind a release gate that blocks on any integrity failure, and is hardened by an adversarial reviewer that runs independent agents to verify each finding against the live code.
We keep this list short on purpose. Depth and proof behind a few sharp offers beats a menu that says "we do all AI things."
04 / Safety
Why it will not run away with your business.
Handing your operation to software is a fair thing to be afraid of. We come at it from the opposite trade. Our founder installs the safety systems and e-stops that keep real industrial machines from hurting anyone, and we build AI the same way.
The two actions that move money, sending an estimate and sending an invoice, stay behind your hand by design. The dangerous move is not discouraged, it is structurally blocked: it cannot happen outside a deliberate human act. AI safety here is not a slogan. It is a safety-instrumented system, and we install them for a living.
05 / How we build without breaking your data
A governed build, not a cowboy build.
Every change is planned, built against a staging copy that can never touch production, reviewed by an adversarial AI, verified by independent agents, and gated before it ships. Two of those gates fail closed: if the math is not provably identical, or an integrity check does not pass, the ship does not happen. The safety is structural, so it holds even on the day everyone is tired.
06 / Constellation Labs and Shop Marshal
Constellation Labs is where we build and prove it. Streamline is what we build for you.
If you want to see the system behind the offer, our own lab tells that story in full.
Just want the tool, not the build? Shop Marshal is the productized version of the back office above, in private early access, one instance per business.
If you scrolled this far, here is why you can trust it with real work.
Built for the field, not the pitch.
This is not a lab demo. The system was built for a real, operating business and hardened under the kind of conditions that break toys in week two. It runs; it has run; it holds.
Real, credentialed safety, not AI-safety theater.
Our founder installs industrial safety systems for a living. The interlocks around our AI are that same discipline. Most AI-safety talk is theory. Ours comes from someone who installs physical e-stops.
The system produces the verdict, not the model.
The value is in the machinery around the model, which is exactly what you are paying for. Our monitor once caught a dead data feed hiding behind a green checkmark and refused to report healthy. The model generates; the system decides what is true.
Tell us the seat you cannot fill.
No form to wrestle, no account to make. One email, and you talk to the person who builds it. Tell us the one process you would hand to an AI operator tomorrow if you trusted it not to do damage. That is exactly where we start: the interlocks first, the automation second.
