The human firm.
Agencies and consultancies are dead. Synaxis is what comes next.
Most firms bill for bodies. I bill for judgment. One senior strategist plus AI execution produces what used to require a team of fifty—faster, cheaper, and the person who sold the work actually does the work.
Most consultancies and agencies are machine firms. They bill for headcount producing repeatable deliverables—decks, audits, reports, reorgs, content, campaigns. A partner sells the engagement. An army of analysts does the work. The client pays for the pyramid.
AI collapses the pyramid. One person with judgment and the right tools can produce what the pyramid produced. The senior person actually does the work instead of reviewing what a 26-year-old drafted.
Synaxis is a human firm. Paul Welty—20+ years of consulting, Fortune 500 clients, author of The Work of Being—plus an AI execution layer. That's the entire firm. That's the point.
Three ways to work together
Hire me directly
Let's talk
Strategy, AI implementation, organizational change, content, presentations—the work your consultancy used to do. Full-service for smaller firms. Point solution on big consultancies' turf. Fraction of the cost because there's no pyramid to feed.
Use the tools yourself
Products
The same AI execution layer I use for client work, packaged as products anyone can use. Content creation, document production, writing, learning.
Build your own human firm
Partner program
If you're an independent consultant, the same model that makes Synaxis work can make your practice work. One person with judgment plus AI tools. I'll arm you with the tools and methodology.
