Everyone bought the AI tools. Almost nobody got a result they can point to. I show up inside your business, find where the hours and the money leak, name the number we are going to move, build the fix with Claude and the systems you already run, and prove it moved. Then I run it, or I leave you someone who can.
The 90-Day Embed starts at CAD $9,000 per month. Prefer to start small? A Systems Review starts at CAD $2,999. Scope, fee, and timing are confirmed before day one.
The gap between paying for AI and getting a result from it is the whole job. The numbers below are not mine. They are the reason the job exists.
It is the same loop every time. The tools change. The discipline does not.
I sit with the people doing the work and list every manual task from the last two weeks. The one eating the most hours gets circled.
Week one, on siteBefore anything gets built, we agree on the metric: hours back, mistakes cut, or money made. That number is what you are buying.
Before any buildClaude plus the systems you already run, wired with your real process documents until it does the job reliably. No science projects.
Claude and your stackBefore and after, measured, in a two-minute demo your team can watch. Four hours down to twenty minutes is a fact, not a promise.
Measured weeklyI run it under Operate, or I train your AI person to run it. Either way, every list, workflow, and document is yours.
Yours to keepAn embed is a run of the loop with me inside your building. It starts with a map and ends with a hand-over. Nothing about it depends on keeping me around.
I sit with the people doing the work. Every manual task from the last two weeks goes on a list. We circle the ones eating the most hours, draw the security boundary, and agree the number.
Two to four workflows built with Claude and the tools you already pay for, wired with your real process documents until they hold. Each one measured against its number, every week.
The tasks your team now brings me run through the same loop. Your internal AI person shadows every build so the knowledge stays in the building.
Runbooks, ownership, and the numbers side by side with day one. Then you decide: I run it under Operate, your AI person runs it, or both.
On site means on site. Ontario is home. Anywhere else in North America, travel is billed at cost and agreed before day one.
The destination is always one of three things: hours back, mistakes cut, or money made. If a piece of work cannot be tied to one of those, I do not build it.
Every price is in CAD. Scope, fee, and timing are confirmed before work begins. The embed is the full run. The rest stand on their own.
90-day minimum. Travel outside Ontario billed at cost.
On site for 90 days: map the leaks, build the fixes, prove the numbers, hand over. The full loop with me in the building, then Operate is optional.
Map the work, find what is failing, and leave with an executable roadmap. The smaller start.
Fix the current stack, replace weak links, or add a client-controlled operating layer.
Monitoring, maintenance, and support for one approved workflow. Co-managed and fully managed operation are scoped to responsibility.
A managed outbound engine that books qualified meetings on your calendar. Remote, measured weekly.
The roadmap is yours whether or not Corbel continues. Build and Operate remain optional.
One operator, one embed at a time. That only works when the fit is honest on both sides.
I am Russell Cole. Eight years building in agtech and operations, most recently running the pipeline, CRM, and operating systems for two government-funded innovation ecosystems in Canada. I run Corbel Ops Inc. on the same AI stack I install for clients, and every venture I own runs on it too.
The working style is direct: clear communication, fast execution, and attention to the number you actually care about. Scope, access, human authority, and any extra expertise are agreed before work begins.
The name: a corbel is a structural support built to carry weight. That is the role.
Short answers. The long ones happen on the call.
You can, and eventually you should. Right now AI skills are the hardest skills in the world to hire for, and people who have them command a 62% wage premium3. The embed gets the first results inside 90 days and leaves behind someone in your building who can keep going. That is the hire, made easier.
Claude first, because it is the strongest tool for this work today. Also whatever your company already licenses, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, and open models when data cannot leave your control. Only tools your company approves, and no customer data goes into anything that is not approved.
The security boundary is drawn in week one, before anything is built. Your systems stay yours, in your accounts, under your logins. The standing commitments are on the Trust page.
Then you will know by day 45, not day 90, because it is measured every week. You keep the roadmap, the fixes, and the documentation either way. Operate is optional.
Mapping is on site, always. Building is mostly remote with on-site days at the milestones, because that is where the work goes faster. The hand-over is on site.
No. A Systems Review is the smaller start. Build, Operate, and the Sales Engine stand on their own. The embed is all of them in one run, with me in the building. If you would rather grow your own AI person, start at Learn.
Bring the task that eats the most hours, or the leak you already suspect. Twenty minutes on a call and you will know whether an embed, a Review, or nothing at all is the right next step.
