Practice

Three rooms.
One operating cadence.

Forstrak runs as one studio with three rooms — strategy upstairs, engineering in the basement, and an operations bench in the middle. We never split a client across vendors; one partner, one writeup, one quarterly review.

Room A

Sharp strategy, written down.

We replace 80-slide decks with one operating thesis your team can recite. Five sentences your CFO and CTO both believe.

Read the practice
Room B

Engineering that ships in weeks.

Senior product engineers and platform leads, embedded in your codebase. Typescript, infra, AI, and the tooling discipline to keep velocity past month six.

Read the practice
Room C

Operating cadence that compounds.

Weekly board-grade reporting, hiring loops that close in 21 days, and finance stacks that survive Series B without a rebuild.

Plate II · numbers we publish

We grade ourselves on the same metrics we ship our clients.

Updated quarterly. Audited by Mazars. Bracket figures show the prior-year baseline.

Avelora industrial production floor — robotic arms on a calibration loopAvelora · Industrial AI · 14 months

From a sale of the line to a $74M Series C.

Avelora was three months from acquisition when the board asked us to write a turnaround thesis. We embedded two partners, rebuilt the data platform, and recut the GTM around three plant-floor pilots. Eleven months later the company closed Series C and kept the founders.

Operating thesis

We don't believe in growth at any cost, in 200-slide strategies, or in “transformation” as a slogan. We believe in companies you can hold for ten years.

Principle 01

A strategy your CFO reads in eight minutes.

Principle 02

An engineering team that ships every Friday.

Principle 03

A board pack short enough to print.

Engagement

Four moves. Nine months, on a single contract.
