1The levelsFrom manual to AI-native

Where does your business sit today?

Most companies we meet are at Level 1. Everyone has ChatGPT, and nothing about how the business runs has changed. The money is at Level 3 and above, where agents do the work and your people focus on what needs judgement.

Level 5, defined

The business is designed around agents from day one. A small team sets taste, capital and direction. Everything else runs.

In practice: At Dials, agents do the work: sourcing, pricing, creative, reorders and support. A human approves every action that moves money.

Not sure where you sit? Six questions, two minutes. Share the result with your team.

4Who we work withWho we're for

Built for businesses that already work.

Manufacturers, distributors, traders and retailers with decades of customers, and operations that still lean on a few key people.

D2C brands ready to scale

Brands with product-market fit that want growth, content and operations to scale without the headcount.

4.3

Founders chasing something new

You have the idea and the conviction. We bring the technical judgement to prove it, before you hire a full-time CTO.

4.4

Teams about to make a big tech bet

Buying software, hiring engineers or starting an AI project? Talk to us first. A second opinion costs far less than a wrong turn.

7QuestionsIf yours isn't here, ask a founder
7.1How do you stay current?

We set aside time every week to test what has shipped: new models, agent frameworks, voice and automation tools. Anything that earns a place in the Lab gets used in our own companies first, then in client work.

7.2What does Level 5 actually mean?

It's the top of the scale: a business designed around agents, where people set direction and agents do the operating. Most companies don't need Level 5 everywhere. We help you decide which functions should climb, and how far.

7.3How is this different from an IT services firm?

Big IT firms sell hours and staff your project with juniors. We sell outcomes: a function that runs on agents, built by the founders, with working software in your hands within days.

7.4Will this replace our team?

No. It changes what they spend their day on. Agents take the repetitive volume; your people keep the judgement calls, the relationships and the exceptions.

7.5What does a level assessment involve?

Two weeks of interviews, process walkthroughs and a look at your systems. You get a score for each function and a plan for the first level jump, with the expected payback.

7.6How does the fractional CTO arrangement work?

It starts with an application. If it's a fit, one of the founders becomes your technical lead for a set number of days a month: setting direction, reviewing work, running prototypes and hiring with you.

7.7Do you take on one-off builds?

Yes, by application. We pick builds with a clear scope and a bigger plan behind them. If yours is a one-off with nothing after it, we'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere better suited.
