How We Work
Two assets that change the unit economics of modernization.
Aedeon, an agent platform, absorbs 60–70% of the engagement work that traditionally drove a pyramid of analysts. Forward-deployed engineers own architecture, judgment, and cutover personally. The combination is the firm. The contract carries the commitment.

The Model · 01
Why the economics work.
Traditional consulting is a pyramid. A junior pool runs analysis under a thin senior layer. The economics depend on hours billed, which is why hourly billing is the dominant commercial structure. Agentic-era work breaks that model in one specific way: the analysis hours collapse. What used to take fifty analyst hours takes an agent platform an afternoon. The pyramid stops being justified, and the work that remains is judgment, architecture, and customer relationship, which the pyramid was never structured for in the first place.
Our structural answer is to make the analysis a platform, Aedeon, and the engagement a team of forward-deployed engineers who can each carry the architecture and the cutover. Aedeon absorbs the work that funded the pyramid. FDEs absorb the work the pyramid never had time for. The contract absorbs the risk.

The Two Assets · 02
The division of labor that makes the fixed date possible.
Aedeon: our agent platform.
Built by the same founders who built Mactores. Aedeon Inc. is a separate business that builds and sells the platform; Mactores deploys it across engagements. The reason this matters: when we deploy Aedeon, we deploy a platform our own engineering team designed. That is a structural advantage versus partners who license their tooling.
Forward-Deployed Engineers: our senior delivery team.
Every FDE has delivered production agentic AI. Embedded with the customer's team for the engagement. Own architecture decisions. Own cutover. Own the customer-signed acceptance. Carry the commitment personally, not as account-team relay.
The Commitment · 03
Fixed date. Fixed fee. Overage on us.
Mactores absorbs overage cost on delays inside our control. Customer-caused delays convert to T&M at standard rates. The clause is standard in our SOW and is shared during commercial discussions. The commercial structure exists because the delivery model justifies it: 60–70% fewer hours than a traditional proposal of equivalent scope is what makes a fixed price hold.
The contract carries the commitment. We absorb the risk so the customer's CFO can budget against it.
