[ 01 / THE REALITY ON THE FLOOR ]

You can't hire your way out anymore.

Labor you can't find. Rent that doubled. And people hand‑carrying work your systems already know.

3Rent that doubled: the margin that used to absorb this waste is gone

The companies that win the next five years won't be the ones that hired more. They'll be the ones that automated the work nobody should be doing by hand.

[ 02 / WHAT WE AUTOMATE FIRST ]

Start with the four leaks. Then build your edge.

Almost every business we walk — manufacturing, distribution, finance, tech, or services — loses money in the same four places. We rank them by dollars and start where the payback is fastest. Then we go further, building automation no one else has.

BEYOND THE FOUR LEAKS

Then we build the system your competitors don't have.

Plugging leaks pays for itself. The bigger win is a proprietary process — an agent or workflow built around how your business actually competes — that becomes an advantage others can't buy off the shelf.

MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION
Margin‑aware quoting that prices a custom order in seconds instead of days.
FINANCE & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
An agent that drafts underwriting memos and client deliverables straight from your files and standards.
TECH & SAAS
Support and onboarding that resolves itself — tickets triaged, answered, and escalated on your playbook.
FIELD & LOGISTICS
Dispatch and scheduling that reads the inbox, checks capacity, and books the work automatically.
[ 03 / HOW IT WORKS ]

Three stages. Every price is on the table.

STAGE 1

Find it

$20–35K
diagnostic, one‑time

A 2–4 week diagnostic that produces a dollar‑ranked roadmap: where the money leaks, how much, and what to fix in what order.

Most clients start here
STAGE 2

Build it

$50–150K
fixed‑price sprint · 8–12 weeks

We build the automation for one process at a time. Fixed scope, fixed price, one leak fully closed before we touch the next.

STAGE 3

Run it

from $5K/mo
managed AI operations

We monitor, maintain, and improve everything we build. It keeps working — and when it breaks, that's our problem, not yours.

No hourly billing. No open‑ended engagements. You'll know the price before we start and the savings after we finish — in that order.

[ 04 / ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE ]

What the math looks like.

One process, start to finish, for a 120‑person distributor. Every figure is visible — and every figure gets replaced by yours in the diagnostic.

01
The work today

Quoting takes 2 people about 31 hours a week, pulling from past examples by hand.

02
The cost

That's roughly $158K/year loaded — wages, taxes, and overhead on those hours.

03
What we build

An agent drafts each quote in minutes from your history. A person approves every one before it goes out.

04
What you recover

$95–115K/year back, with the build a $90K fixed‑price sprint. Payback inside year one.

[ 05 / STRAIGHT TALK ]

Not ready? We'll tell you that for free.

About a third of the companies we talk to aren't ready for automation yet — wrong systems, unstable processes. A 45‑minute call will tell you honestly which side you're on.

If you're not ready, we'll tell you exactly what to fix first and send you on your way. No charge.

[ 06 / WHY US, BRIEFLY ]

A few things make us different.

WE RUN IT

We run what we build.

When something breaks at 2 a.m., that's our phone that rings — not yours. Monitored, patched, and improved under one monthly plan.

YOUR PHONE

FIXED PRICE

Fixed prices, not billable hours.

You'll never get a surprise invoice. The number is set before we start.

YOUR OPERATION

Your operation, learned deeply.

We embed in how your business actually runs — the quotes, POs, and workflows others gloss over. Manufacturing, distribution, tech, or finance.

MADE OF THIS STUFF

We're made of this stuff.

Our own lead research, analysis, and reporting run on the same agents we sell.

[ 07 / WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO ]

An AI‑forward team that has lived inside operations like yours.

We pair people who've run logistics, quoting, and back‑office systems for operations‑heavy businesses with engineers who build production AI. We've keyed the same PO into two screens, and we've watched good people spend afternoons rebuilding quotes from last year's files.

We started Tradewind in Miami, and today we work with teams across the U.S., because growing companies shouldn't need a Fortune 500 budget to run a modern operation. We sell what we wished we'd had: a fixed price, an honest answer, and software someone else keeps running.

[ 08 / QUESTIONS WE GET ]

Fair questions. Straight answers.

The questions every owner asks — answered the way we'd answer them across a table.

Fig. 3 — answers.yaml
01
# Why does the assessment cost $20K when I see AI for $300/month?
answer: That $300 tool is a receptionist. We re-engineer how an actual operation runs — mapping the work, the systems, and the dollars before we touch anything. The diagnostic pays for the senior time it takes to find money you can bank.
02
# We already have an IT company.
answer: Keep them. They run your systems; we change what your systems do. We work alongside MSPs on every engagement and stay in our lane.
03
# Our ERP vendor says AI is coming.
answer: Some of it will come native, and you shouldn't pay us for anything your license already includes. We build on your ERP's rails, so when vendor features arrive they slot in cleanly.

45 minutes. Straight answers. No deck.
