Systems that run themselves.

Three disciplines. One refinery.

Most problems come down to three things: messy data, manual work, and decisions that should be automatic.

01

Data Engineering

SAL · the body

Pipelines, warehouses, and clean models. We consolidate scattered sources into one reliable foundation you can actually trust.

↳ ETL / ELT pipelines ↳ Warehouse setup & modeling ↳ Data quality & validation ↳ Dashboards & reporting
VIEW SERVICE →
02

Workflow Automation

SULPHUR · the process

The repetitive, copy-paste work that fills your week, identified and automated so you get those hours back.

↳ Process audit & mapping ↳ API & webhook integrations ↳ Internal tools ↳ Notifications & handoffs
VIEW SERVICE →
03

AI Implementation

MERCURIUS · the spirit

Practical models placed where they add real value, inside your actual workflows rather than a demo.

↳ LLM assistants & agents ↳ RAG over your own data ↳ Document & intake processing ↳ Evaluation & guardrails

002 · METHOD

The work, in three stages.

An old name for a simple discipline. Every engagement moves through the same three stages: take it apart, rebuild it clean, and hand it back running.

I NIGREDO

Dissolve

We take everything apart. Audit your data, tools, and workflows; find what's broken, redundant, or quietly costing you; and map where it all actually goes.

II ALBEDO

Refine

We rebuild clean. Pipelines, automations, and models, structured, documented, and tested until they run reliably.

III RUBEDO

Operate

We hand you working systems, running in production, monitored, and yours, with the knowledge to keep them running.

003 · SELECTED WORK

What changes after the work.

REPRESENTATIVE ENGAGEMENTS
6h → 8m
E-COMMERCE OPERATIONS

Five data sources reconciled into a single warehouse. Nightly reporting that took most of a morning now runs automatically overnight.

~30hrs/wk
B2B SAAS

Lead routing, onboarding, and billing handoffs automated end to end, removing a full day of manual work every week.

2d → 2m
SOLO CONSULTANCY

An AI intake assistant that reads, sorts, and drafts responses, cutting a two-day backlog down to same-day replies.

PHILOSOPHY

Why the green lion.

In the old texts, the green lion isn't the gold. It's the raw, corrosive solvent that comes first. It is the crude green matter that dissolves everything rigid, so the valuable part can be freed and reformed.

We took the name because that's the actual job. Your data and your workflows are the raw material: tangled, unrefined, full of latent value. The work is dissolving the mess and binding what's left into something that runs. No mysticism required, just a stubborn old idea that the right process turns raw material into something that works.

Founded 2025. A small studio that does the work itself, with no account managers and no handoff to juniors.
