AI Transformation Consulting

Small, precise pieces.
Something greater.

We build working AI-powered platforms — not strategy decks. From discovery through deployment, you get production code, an agent team trained on your domain, and the methodology to extend it all.

The Tessera Philosophy

Every tile has a purpose

A tessera is a single mosaic tile — small, precise, intentional. Alone, it's a fragment. Composed with others under a craftsman's design, it becomes something no single piece could achieve.

That's how we build. Each AI agent is a tessera — trained on your domain, wired to your architecture, and orchestrated to work with the others. The methodology is the mortar. The skills library is the pigment. Your business knowledge is the pattern.

Traditional consulting leaves you with a binder and a bill. We leave you with a working platform, the agent team that built it, and the knowledge to extend both.

How It Works

Six phases, zero guesswork

Every engagement follows the same proven framework. Phase-gated delivery means you see results before you commit further.

1

Discovery & Education

1–2 weeks

Deep domain immersion — your tools, your workflows, your compliance landscape. We teach your team AI fundamentals and seed the first domain-specific agents that will grow smarter throughout the engagement.

2

Problem Mapping Sprint

3–5 days

A structured sprint (adapted from Google Ventures) to surface the real problems — not symptoms. The Sprint Brief produced here is the scope contract: clear, bounded, and owned by the client.

3

Solution Architecture

1 week

Architecture decisions, data models, event contracts, and integration mapping. Every decision is documented and validated by domain-specific agents before code is written.

Architecture decisions Data models Integration map
4

Wireframes & Prototypes

1–2 weeks

Three variations per screen at shareable URLs. Interactive dashboards turn architecture data into explorable visualizations. You choose the winners before a single line of production code is written.

5

Build & Deploy

2–6 weeks

Iterative code generation with agent teams — 1–2 interfaces per version, with QA after each. Shared types first, API services next, UI last. Every version is deployed and testable.

Agent Army & Handoff

1 week

The agent team that built your platform becomes yours. Domain agents, team agents, orchestrator agents, and the skills library — plus training so your team can extend everything.

Engagement Tiers

Start where it makes sense

Every tier is a discrete deliverable. The Sprint engagement lets you test the methodology before committing to a build.

Sprint Engagement

Discovery + problem mapping sprint. Produces a Sprint Brief any engineering team can execute — with or without us.

$10k – $25k · Phases 1–2

Prototype Engagement

Everything in Sprint, plus architecture blueprints, wireframe galleries with 3 variations per screen, and interactive dashboards — all at shareable URLs. Perfect for board presentations or build-vs-buy decisions.

$25k – $50k · Phases 1–4

Quarterly Retained

Ongoing evolution — quarterly sprints, build additions, agent expansion, and priority support. The agent army grows with each cycle.

$10k – $30k · per quarter
Case Study

SGA Dental Partners —
260+ practices, one platform

A dental support organization needed a unified content engine across 260+ individually branded practices. Seventeen disconnected tools. Strict HIPAA compliance. Built in weeks.

The platform started with domain immersion — mapping 17 existing tools, defining the PHI boundary, and seeding 7 specialized agents. Six phases later: a production API with 40+ endpoints, 17-page React application, 138 wireframe screens, and an agent army the client owns and can extend.
