Understand the whole operation

Start with the business
and the people who know it.

Smokejumper begins with education and assessment. We work with leadership and employees to understand the current operation, constraints and opportunities, then develop the vision and strategy.

The plan connects work across customer programs, materials, equipment, workforce, quality, delivery and cash. Measures and accountable people make the intended results concrete.

Develop away from daily operations

A lab built around
your real work.

01

The professional lab team

AI professionals, engineers, data scientists and product and program managers develop and thoroughly test the work in a separate innovation environment.

02

Innovation Captain

A person assigned by the company coordinates its participation, helps manage workflow-specific AI Chaperones and connects their work to the program.

03

AI Chaperones

Company employees represent the people who do a particular job. They work shoulder to shoulder with AI engineers to shape, develop and test the deliverables.

Each deliverable has its own path through testing, preparation and adoption. Education continues throughout, and participating employees receive protected time to contribute.

Your information and intelligence

Make control
part of the strategy.

Determine what information may be used, by whom and in which environments. Model with simulated data where real information is unavailable or restricted.

Plan toward eventual company-owned, sovereign, air-gapped AI. Appropriate technical and compliance expertise informs the design and validation for the company’s obligations.
