Small business

Your business, run by AI. Under your approval.

Calls answered, books current, marketing run — AI proposes, you approve. It learns your business from your records and no one else's, and it leaves with you. For businesses of five to fifty people.

The third path

Most small businesses face two endgames: get captured by SaaS vendors who own your data and your AI, or get rolled up by private equity who own your equity. Sovereign is the third path. You keep your business, your data, your margin, your customers. Your AI specialists fine-tune on YOUR traces, not your competitors'. The operating quality of a VC-backed 50-person team — without becoming one. I built Sovereign for my own family of 16 before I sold it to anyone.

How it starts

A fit call, then the 72 Hours.

Diagnose — $2,500, one week, credited in full. Build — a Sprint, $7,500. Run — from $599 a month. Keep — the Retainer, $2,499 a month.

  1. 1 Hour 1

    Governed OAuth access to your books and payments.

  2. 2 Hour 24

    Your whole business in one document. Yours to keep.

  3. 3 Hour 72

    You ask your own assistant — real answer, your data.

The Sovereign operator dashboard for a fictional plumbing business: a navy command view with three services marked configured, a records card and the assistant panel where the owner asks questions and approves actions.
Sample business, synthetic records.

Honest edges: onboarding takes two to four weeks, six to eight for complex businesses. No outside business has run it yet; the first ten get white-glove onboarding, from me.

The approval queue

Nothing moves until you tap approve.

Why believe it

So you can see all my data?We don't. We won't. And here's what stops us.

Five properties, each built and testable.

  1. Isolation

    Your system cannot see other businesses.

    How

    No cross-business machinery exists. Contract-tested 62/62.

  2. Approval gates

    Anything consequential waits for your yes.

    How

    Reads run alone; money, sends and irreversibles sit in your queue.

  3. Immutable record

    No one can quietly rewrite history.

    How

    Hash-chained ledger. Any change visibly breaks the record.

  4. Fail shut

    Starts locked. Failures fail closed, not open.

    How

    Default-deny auth. CI fails the build on any unguarded route.

  5. Your environment

    Runs in your environment, not our cloud.

    How

    OAuth-only credentials. Owner-owned deployment. No proprietary cloud.

What we will not say: that we can't access your data. Any vendor who claims that describes a wish, not an architecture.

Pricing

Three services, or all of them. Monthly, 90-day minimum.

$2,500 Diagnostic · one week

Connect books. Written brief and read-out. Credited against Sprint or three months of Complete.

$7,500 Sprint · four weeks

Three biggest bottlenecks named. Fix what AI can fix inside a system you keep.

$2,499/mo Operating Retainer

Monthly board round, human review, next pipe built first. $2,000/mo inside Complete+.

$1,499/mo Sovereign Complete

All three services. You approve everything.

$3,499/mo Complete + Operating Retainer

Complete plus the managed layer.

Additional location: $499/mo each. Judge it against what you already spend on the same functions. Month to month; if you leave, you keep what we built.
