A boutique advisory founded by Dmitry Borodin and Regina Rimkute. We help B2B companies turn AI pilots and product bets into shipped products - with deep experience in industrial, asset-heavy, and regulated domains.
A 2 to 4 week engagement ending in a written go / no-go / pivot recommendation on an AI product or AI-feature roadmap. For investors, boards, and CEOs facing a real decision before months get committed to building. We're willing to write the "kill it" section when that's the honest answer.
A 1 to 3 month engagement where Regina embeds as fractional product lead and Dmitry provides AI architecture direction. For companies that have decided to ship something AI-powered and need the product muscle - direction, judgment, process, decisions about what to kill - to actually get there.
Only on work where outside senior judgment can genuinely change the outcome. That usually means one of two situations: a meaningful AI product bet that needs to be diligenced before the team commits months to building it, or a company that has decided to ship something AI-powered and needs the product practice - direction, judgment, process, decisions about what to kill - to actually get there.
We don't take work that's primarily technical implementation, generic AI training, or small experiments. Not because we can't - but because our impact is in product judgment and direction, and there are many strong specialists for the rest.

Two sentences are enough to start: one on the situation, one on what you're considering. We'll come back to you within a few days with whether it sounds like a fit and what the next conversation would look like.
