About ClearForge
We build, we ship, we deploy. The same team that diagnoses the problem engineers the solution and trains your people to run it.
What Makes Us Different
Most AI firms sell you a roadmap and leave. Others build something and create a dependency so you cannot operate without them. We do neither. Every ClearForge engagement ends with a working system in production and a team that knows how to maintain and extend it.
Built for mid-market and growth-stage companies who need AI that works — not another vendor relationship that drains budget without delivering results.
Leadership
Founder & Managing Partner
Before founding ClearForge, James spent over a decade in management consulting and technology transformation at Bain, EY, and Capgemini — advising mid-market and Fortune 500 companies on operations, AI strategy, and digital transformation.
He built ClearForge because he kept seeing the same problem: companies spent millions on AI strategy that never made it to production. The gap was not insight — it was execution. ClearForge exists to close that gap with a team that diagnoses, builds, and operates AI systems end to end.

Principles
Every engagement produces a working system, not a report. If we cannot build it, we do not recommend it.
The people who scope your engagement are the people who deliver it. No bait-and-switch with junior consultants.
We combine management consulting rigor with production engineering standards. Systems are tested, documented, and built to last.
Everything we build transfers. We train your people, document the systems, and make ourselves replaceable. That is the goal.
Honest Answer
DataRobot and Dataiku are powerful — if you already have a team to build, validate, and maintain models. Most mid-market companies do not.
Buying a platform is like buying a CNC machine without a machinist. The tool is only as good as the people operating it and the process around it.
We deploy production AI and train your team to run it. When we leave, the system works and your people own it. No ongoing license dependency.
Tell us about your business. We will be honest about whether we can help — and if so, exactly how.
