AI CONSULTING AND PLATFORMS · WISCONSIN, SERVING NATIONALLY

We build the AI your organization can actually run.

Strategy that turns into working systems. Data prepared so AI can use it. Platforms installed in your environment and governed by your rules. The Mentor Co takes organizations from a cohesive AI strategy to software their people use every day.

HOW AN ENGAGEMENT MOVES

1 · Strategy
Which processes, which data, which risks, in what order. A plan leadership can fund.

2 · Data readiness
Integrations, warehouses and clean records so AI answers from your systems, not guesses.

3 · Build
Workflows, assistants and documents on WorkDock, or a custom build when the problem calls for one.

4 · Operate
Governance, telemetry and training so the value shows up in hours saved and holds.

24+ years

in enterprise IT consulting and software engineering

200+ organizations

advised on AI strategy and workforce readiness through our founder’s enterprise advisory work

Two platforms

built, licensed and supported by us, installed in customer environments

Azure certified

with published technical authorship and multiple AI certifications

Three practices, one path from idea to running system

Most AI efforts stall between the strategy deck and the first working process. We cover the whole distance, and we have built the platforms that make the last mile shorter.

AI Strategy and Enablement

A cohesive AI strategy for the whole organization, not a list of tools. We assess where AI pays off first, set governance and data-handling rules, choose platforms and models, and build the training and change plan that makes adoption stick.

  • AI readiness and opportunity assessment
  • Governance, policy and model selection
  • Workforce enablement and train-the-trainer programs
  • Executive and board briefings

Data and AI Engineering

AI is only as good as the data it can reach. We integrate the systems you already run, build the warehouses and pipelines that keep records clean, and prepare documents and media so models can search, cite and act on them.

  • System integrations such as HR, payroll, dealer and manufacturer portals
  • Warehouses, medallion pipelines and reporting
  • Document, email, log and media ingestion for AI
  • Evaluation and telemetry so results are measured

Platforms and Custom Software

We build software the way enterprises need it built and license two platforms of our own. WorkDock runs operational processes and documents. LitAIGate serves legal, intelligence and oversight work. Both install in your environment.

  • WorkDock process modules and Document Studio
  • LitAIGate for investigations and analysis
  • Custom applications, portals and integrations
  • Scheduled core updates and supported customizations
RECENT WORK

From data integration to a working AI workspace, for a multi-location truck dealership group

The engagement began with the data. We integrated HR and payroll and the manufacturer’s warranty portal into a warehouse with per-branch reporting. With clean records in place, the same team moved to AI. The first process is a warranty claims assistant that checks each claim against the manufacturer’s rules before it is submitted and works denials in one queue, built on WorkDock and installed in the customer’s environment.

Integrate. HR, payroll, dealer management and the manufacturer’s warranty portal, connected by role and kept in sync.

Prepare. A warehouse with per-branch reporting, and documents and records readied for AI.

Build. A warranty claims assistant on WorkDock, installed in the customer’s own cloud.

Platforms we build and license

Both are installed in your cloud account or on your own hardware, including disconnected environments. Both share one governed core, and both are supported by the people who built them.

WORKDOCK · FOR OPERATIONS

One workspace, built around how your business actually runs.

Claims, service write-ups, approvals and documents become guided workflows with your rules built in. Document Studio turns your templates into documents that are written with AI help and checked against your standards before they leave. One license for the organization, not per seat.

LITAIGATE · FOR LEGAL, INTELLIGENCE AND OVERSIGHT

A wide body of evidence, tested against competing hypotheses, continuously.

LitAIGate brings an entire case corpus under one roof, detects signals, tests every hypothesis against the record in a live ACH matrix, and produces reports in which each judgment traces to the page, line or second that supports it. Runs air-gapped with locally hosted models.

GROWING AND MID-SIZED ORGANIZATIONS

Enterprise-grade AI without the enterprise overhead

Dealership groups, manufacturers, professional services firms and healthcare organizations come to us with the same problem. They know AI matters, their data is scattered across systems, and every vendor is selling a seat. We start with one process that costs you the most, prove it with the people who do it, then add the next.

Based in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. On site across Metro Milwaukee and remote nationally.

PUBLIC SECTOR AND REGULATED TEAMS

Built for the audit, not just the demo

Our platforms run fully air-gapped with locally hosted, approved models. Access is enforced at a service bus, every model call is logged with its cost, and a two-tier audit log is modeled on NIST SP 800-53. Legal teams, investigators, intelligence analysts and Inspector General offices get a system their security officers can review and their analysts can trust.
