For businesses built on expertise

More independent. Clearer.Easier to steer.

Your business can be. You already have the knowledge, the people and the software. I help you find where the work gets stuck, what you can improve yourself and when you need real business infrastructure.

In practice

Real people. More grip on their business.

Three owners, three trades. Each time it started with understanding how the work runs today. Then it became clear what they could improve themselves and what asked for a wider decision.

The pattern

One pattern. Every business.

Every expert business knows more than its products, processes and systems make use of. The first task is never building. It is understanding where the value sits and what holds you back.

01Today

Work that depends on people, not on systems

Knowledge sits in heads. Information is spread across mail, folders and programs. Processes depend on who is available. We map that honestly first.

02Desired

How the business would ideally work

People, roles, one shared truth about customers and files, systems and responsibilities. I draw the direction and the options. Who builds what, you decide afterwards.

03First step

Start small, with what you hold yourself

What can happen on your own workplace, you do yourself, with your digital colleague. What has to run across the business becomes a separate decision with a clear owner.

How we start

Understand first, then invest

Most owners arrive with a solution in mind. We first look at how the work really runs today, on your own computer. Then you know what you can take in hand yourself and what asks for a bigger decision.

What can follow

01A sharper offer and a website that works
02A way of working that can be handed over
03A digital colleague of your own on your workplace
04A business architecture for the next step

Analysis: Donki on your computer

Fixed price, agreed up front · on your own workplace

The first assignment. We set up your digital colleague on your own workplace and do the full analysis together: how the work really runs, which programs are involved, where the manual work sits, where the opportunities are and what it would take to roll something out across the business.

You keep

01A workplace that can do more than before, with your own digital colleague
02An honest picture of your business today: work, programs, manual steps
03The opportunities, and which of them you can take in hand yourself
04What it would take to do something business-wide, and what it would not

You leave with insight and capability: you know how your business runs and you can get to work on it yourself.

03

First workflow

Scoped · on your own workplace · you approve every step

One workflow from the analysis, actually working on your own computer. First with test data or information you explicitly release. So you see the added value in your own work before you decide further.

04

Direction

On quote · when the ambition goes beyond one workplace

How would your business ideally work? People, roles, one shared truth about customers and files, systems and responsibilities. I draw the desired situation, put the options side by side and make a transition plan. Who builds and maintains, you decide afterwards: your own IT, a partner, and your digital colleague for what belongs on your workplace.

What to expect:

A desired situation you can explain to your people yourselfThe options side by side, with costs and risksA transition plan in steps you can take yourselfOne shared truth about customers and filesThe choice of who builds and maintains, substantiatedYou stay in charge, with your digital colleague at your side

Who

People first, then systems

For sixteen years as an osteopath, people came to me with pain, a story and often their own explanation. My work was to understand what was really going on before deciding what to treat. Today I do the same with businesses: sharpen the real problem first, then set the direction. Execution goes to whoever can be responsible for it: your own people, a partner, or your digital colleague for what belongs on your own workplace.

Lessons from real systems

Architecture
01

Not the model, but the harness

Dependency versus sovereignty. Why I don't pick models, but build the harness that makes them swappable. Exit power over benchmarks.

From prompting to compiling

Intent goes in as a brief. Agents act as compiler passes. Eval gates act as the typechecker. The output only ships if it passes every check. I treat AI agents like a compiler, not a slot machine.

The operating system behind OsteosOnline

An osteopathy network doesn't run on a website. It runs on an operating system: knowledge, operations, agents, evidence, and a loop that makes itself smarter. One map, a whole company.

From accountant screenshot to permanent tool

A WhatsApp screenshot of financial tasks. Thirty minutes later, three command-line tools that did not exist before. The difference between doing the work and building the thing that does the work forever.
