Know first.
Act first.
We build you a private intelligence system — fitted to your business, not a product you install. Unify your scattered data and ask your numbers anything; every answer carries its sources. Your numbers. Your AI. Your walls.
Direct answers on capabilities, pricing, and data governance — sources attached.
The full system, live.
One tap, no signup.
Every screenshot below comes from the working system, photographed live. Open the demonstration vault and operate the system yourself — every module, every number, the AI included.
The demonstration company — Meridian Supply Co. — is fictional, so no client's numbers are ever public. Your installation runs the same system on your data, in your own vault.
Interrogate the intelligence.
The same engine our clients operate privately. Ask about Rudiment's capabilities, pricing, and privacy architecture — or question Meridian, our demonstration company, and watch answers arrive with sources.
Ask what Rudiment does, what an engagement costs, or how your data stays private. Or question Meridian — our demonstration company — and watch answers arrive from real books, sources attached. When data cannot support an answer, I decline rather than guess. Begin wherever you like.
Meridian Supply Co. is fictional — no client's real numbers are ever public. Your installation answers about your business alone. Nothing entered here trains any model.
Meet Meridian. 42 people, $8.2M, runs on QuickBooks, HubSpot, and grit. Looks healthy.
We don't sell you software.
We build you a system that fits.
Off-the-shelf software is built for the average company. Yours is not average — so neither is your system. Every Rudiment build is fitted to how your business actually runs.
We learn your business
A working session on your 2–4 core systems, your real questions, and the decisions you make every week. The Readiness Audit is step one.
We fit the system to you
Proven modules — Command Center, Customer, Revenue, Supply, Strategy — shaped to your data, your definitions, your roles. Not a blank page. A hardened engine, fitted.
It grows with you
New roles, new intelligence, deeper AI as your team and questions grow. The retainer carries new capability forward — never a re-platform, never a new invoice per feature.
Bespoke usually means “come back in six months.” Ours doesn't — the system is already built and running. We're fitting, not inventing. First findings land in your first weeks.
AI that has actually read your business.
Not a generic model with your logo on it. It's tuned to your data, your definitions, your roles — which is why it can answer “why did margin dip” about your March, not a textbook's. Inside your walls, with an audit log.
Grounded answers, with receipts
Ask in plain English; get the number and exactly where it came from. When the data can't support an answer, it declines rather than guesses.
Reasoning over your business
Multi-step analysis — decompose a margin bridge, weigh a price change, profile churn hazard. Not retrieval. Judgment.
Intelligence that comes to you
Scheduled briefings, exposure monitoring, anomaly alerts — the Overnight Analyst that wakes you Monday with the three things that need you, ranked.
One operating intelligence platform,
built module by module.
Enterprises run on platforms; small businesses run on memory and spreadsheets. Rudiment closes that gap deliberately — each module ships when the discipline behind the numbers is ready, never before. Labels below are honest: live means live.
Command Center
The chairman's desk: one numbers strip, the morning brief, an exposure monitor, and the decision queue with cost-of-delay.
Customer Intelligence
Every relationship on the record — current, in progress, former — with churn hazard, lifetime value, and the contacts that matter.
Revenue Intelligence
Quality of revenue, the monthly bridge, fully-attributed variance, cash conversion, forward cover.
Supply & Macro Intelligence
Regional risk indices, input-price alerts with drivers, alternates quoted and costed.
Client Vaults
One isolated database per business, unique credentials, installable to a phone today.
Role-Based Access
One vault, the right view for every person — the owner sees everything; each leader sees only their domain. Every AI query logged.
Decision Register
Every material decision recorded — what, who, why, and when to revisit. The end of re-litigated quarters.
Vendor & Contract Radar
Renewals, expirations, and obligation drift surfaced before they cost money.
iPhone App
The vault in your pocket — FaceID unlock, Monday-morning Pulse, flag alerts.
Installations receive every module as the platform grows — the retainer carries new capability forward, never a new invoice per feature.
One system. The right view for every person.
The owner sees everything. Each leader sees their domain. Nobody sees what they shouldn't. Access is shaped to your org chart — and every AI query is logged: who asked, what was touched. Governance without surveillance.
Owner / Operator
The full picture — every number, every score, the decision queue.
Finance
The money layers: revenue quality, AR, the margin bridge, cash cover.
Sales / Customer lead
Pipeline, churn hazard, lifetime value, account dossiers — margin kept need-to-know.
Ops / Manager
Their domain's metrics and alerts; sourcing risk and input prices.
Roles are illustrative — the real map is fitted to your business in the build. This is how a custom system grows with you: add a leader, add a role; the system already knows how to show them exactly their slice. Ask the same question as two different roles and watch the answer change.
What does not-knowing cost?
Below are the fifty questions every owner should be able to answer about their own business — real ones, listed in full. The calculator turns your honest count into a number.
Meridian's first finding alone was $31,000 — one clause.
Methodology — read it, we're not hiding anything
Published studies put revenue leakage at 2–10% of earned revenue across industries (professional services: 5–8%; services firms bill only ~90–95% of delivered hours per SPI Research). We model conservatively at 1–3%, scaled by how much of your business you can currently see. It's an estimate, not an invoice — the audit replaces it with your real number.
The audit is $750, credited in full. The expensive option is another year of guessing.
A database that is
completely, uniquely yours.
Every client receives a vault: an isolated database with unique credentials, provisioned privately per engagement. Sign in from anywhere; install to an iPhone home screen today (native app in development). Your data never mingles with anyone else's, never trains anyone's model, and every AI query is logged — who asked, what was touched. Governance without surveillance.
Isolated Cloud
Your own dedicated workspace. Client-owned accounts, contractual no-training guarantees, encrypted end to end. Live in days.
Your Private Cloud
Runs inside your own cloud tenancy. Your keys, your perimeter, your audit logs. We build; you hold the keys.
On-Prem Appliance
A dedicated inference machine inside your office. Your data never touches the internet. For legal, medical, finance.
Your data never trains anyone's model. That's a contract clause, not a vibe.
“I spend my days making institutional data tell the truth in public — rankings submissions, accreditation, numbers that get audited. Rudiment is that discipline, pointed at your business. I build every install personally. That's why I take on only a few at a time.”
Built for you.
Priced by depth.
Every system is fitted to one business — yours. The tier sets the depth: how much of the business goes inside, and how far the intelligence reaches across your team. Bespoke on the inside; known scope and price on the invoice.
- Your 2–4 core systems unified — provenance on every number
- A private AI grounded in your data — ask it anything, answers with receipts
- Your Command Center + Customer Intelligence, fitted to you
- Team training and your choice of privacy architecture
- Everything in Foundation, across your whole business
- Role-based access — every leader sees their layer, nobody sees what they shouldn't
- Advanced AI: reasoning, scheduled briefings, anomaly alerts — the Overnight Analyst
- Revenue, Supply & Strategy intelligence, built around your operation
- A fully bespoke system across your entire business
- On-prem or private-cloud — your keys, your perimeter
- An ongoing intelligence partnership — new capability as you grow
- Priority build, a direct line to the founder
You don't choose a tier cold. The Readiness Audit on your real systems tells us the right depth — then we send a fixed proposal: one page, chosen tier, known scope and price. Every number above sits below the cost of the analyst, fractional CFO, or data hire it replaces — and unlike them, the system stays, and it's yours.
Asked by people like you.
Yes. The screenshots are photographs of the live system, and the chat above is the production engine answering in real time. Meridian Supply Co. is our fictional demo client so no one's real numbers are ever exposed. In about a month, the same system runs on yours.
Weeks, not quarters. We're fitting a system that already exists and runs live, not building from a blank page. First findings land in your first weeks; a typical build is 30–45 days.
No. Three tiers set the depth and the price up front, and you own what we build. Bespoke is how it's made — fitted to your business — not a blank check. Off-the-shelf software charges you every month, forever, for something that was never yours.
Your data lives in a vault you own and can export in one click, anytime. The system runs on a hardened, governed architecture already live across multiple businesses — not a fragile one-off. You're never locked in.
Yes. Role-based access means adding a leader is adding a role, not rebuilding — the system already knows how to show each person exactly their slice. It grows with your team and your questions.
Safer than it is today in nine disconnected tools. Your data stays in accounts you own, moves through encrypted pipelines built for you alone, and is covered by contractual no-training guarantees. Want it stricter? Your own cloud — or a machine in your office that never touches the internet.
Yes. Every client gets a private vault — your own isolated database with its own sign-in. Each person signs in to the view their role allows; the owner sees everything. An iPhone app is in development. And it's your data: export everything, any time, in one click.
If you're 10–100 people, you're exactly who it's built for. Under 10 — honestly, you don't need it yet, and we'll tell you so at the audit. That refusal is the same honesty the AI practices.
Mess is the precondition, not the disqualifier. Week one of every build IS the cleanup: definitions agreed, duplicates resolved, one governed picture. You don't need clean data to start; you need to start to get clean data.
An analyst is $85k+ a year, needs managing, and leaves with the knowledge. A Rudiment build is a one-time cost you own, the system stays, and your whole team asks it questions in plain English. If you grow into needing an analyst, Rudiment makes their first 90 days twice as fast.
QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Shopify, Stripe, Airtable, ServiceTitan, and most tools with an export or API. The build wires the 2–4 that actually drive decisions; the retainer expands from there.
No — Rudiment reads from your CRM and your books, then adds the layer they don't have: churn hazard, lifetime value, stage-weighted pipeline, and one profile per relationship across current, in-progress, and former. Your CRM stays the system of entry; Rudiment becomes the system of judgment.
Use it — for generic work. It has never seen your P&L, and pasting your financials into a public chatbot is exactly the risk your gut warns you about. Rudiment is AI grounded in your numbers, inside your walls, with an audit log — and it cites its sources.
A 90-minute working session on your real systems — not a slide deck. You leave with your actual Alignment Score and a prioritized roadmap you keep either way. Move ahead within 30 days and the full $2,500 is credited toward your build.
Stop guessing.
Start asking.
Thirty days from now, you ask your business a question and it answers — with receipts. Or you keep guessing. Both are decisions.
