Observing
2 WEEKS · LIVEObserve before you prescribe.
Two weeks of read-only observation across your stack before a single recommendation. Aria maps how the company actually runs — not how the org chart says it does.

Hire Aria.
Your always-on
AI consultant.
Aria spends two weeks watching how your company actually runs — every Slack thread, every handoff, every quiet bottleneck — then answers anything you'd normally hire a consultant to figure out. And Aria doesn't leave when the project ends.
How Aria works
Four rules, never broken.
Four operating rules Aria follows on every engagement. No matter the client. No matter the project.
Mfg approval delay

per year
340 hr/mo × 12 × $1,012/hr
Quantify everything in dollars.
Every bottleneck gets a dollar figure. Every recommendation gets a projected ROI. Nothing is described in adjectives when it can be measured in currency.

Fix it, don't just report it.
A report is not a deliverable. Every finding Aria surfaces ships with a custom agent that actually fixes the problem — built in hours, reversible in one click.
Stay and get smarter.
Consultants leave when the engagement ends. Aria doesn't. Aria learns your company every day — after a year Aria knows more about your operations than anyone you could hire next.
How it unfolds
Two weeks to observed. Six to shipped.
Four moments on a single arc — from first integration to compounding memory. No slides in between.
01Week 1
Observes
Read-only integrations wire into Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Teams, Calendar, and email. Aria starts watching — nothing touched, nothing changed.
02Week 3
Diagnoses
Cost of chaos quantified in dollars. Three bottlenecks named. A ranked shortlist of what to automate — and what to leave alone.
03Week 6
Deploys
First custom agent ships. Live ROI counter on the dashboard from day one. One-click rollback on every decision Aria makes.
04Month 6+
Compounds
Aria knows more about your operations than anyone you could hire next. Every week smarter. Every agent earning, or switched off.
What Aria does
One consultant. Every answer.
Aria does the work of a senior consulting team — permanent, always-on, always-learning. Not a menu of features. A single hired expert who answers with data from your company, not generic frameworks.

Interviews your people.
Short, consent-driven conversations with stakeholders at every level. Live transcripts, per-quote redaction, and findings linked to the open questions observation alone can't close.

03
Argues against its own advice.
Every recommendation ships with a written case for why it might be wrong. No cheerleader. No hand-waving. Dissent is the default — so you're never surprised by what breaks after deploy.
Source · 240 peer orgs

Benchmarks you against peers.
Every metric plotted against the peer distribution across 240 reference organizations. You don't guess whether cycle time is "bad" — you see the 34th percentile and know what to close.

Quantifies the cost of chaos.
Every bottleneck converted to dollars, not adjectives. $14.2M in quarterly waste identified on the first deployment — every figure traced back to a specific workflow, handoff, or delay.

Traces every claim to its source.
Click any number on the dashboard to see the Slack threads, Jira tickets, and calendar traces behind it. Nothing is opined. Everything is cited. The working paper is always two clicks away.

Picks what to automate, in order.
Not "everything is AI now" — specifically: these three workflows, in this order, with these expected returns. Ranked by impact × feasibility × ROI. Everything else stays human, for now.

08
Simulates what-if scenarios.
Move one lever — close a plant, add a region, delay a launch — and watch Cost of Chaos, ROI, and timelines recompute. Decisions modeled in seconds, not quarters. Three branches every time.
Pre-committed · at deploy time
09
Draws the line before you cross it.
Every deployed agent ships with a pre-committed kill threshold. If Deal Routing ROI drops below $18K/mo for two weeks, Aria pulls the agent and tells you why. No sunk-cost fallacy. No defending yesterday's decision.
