What do you do?
I set up AI inside owner-run businesses and keep running it with the owner. I build on the business's own information. Each month I check what the AI costs against what it's worth to the business, and I'm the one accountable for it.
Questions
Questions owners ask
Short answers about what I do and how the work runs. I'm Sam Perry and I run Edge Solutions out of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Who do you work with?
My main focus is commercial real estate and land. That means brokers and developers, and companies that buy land. I also work with other owner-run businesses like retail shops and site contractors, and with sales teams. The owner still runs the business day to day and wants AI run well.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I work with owners anywhere in the country.
What is Claude for your team?
I set your company up in Claude, the AI assistant made by Anthropic, in a workspace your company owns. Each person signs in as themselves. I build a project for the main kinds of work your team does and connect it to the files you already keep. We write the house rules together and then I teach your people to use it on their real work.
Is Claude for your team a separate service?
It's part of the one monthly fee. It's often the first thing I do for a company. I keep it set up right as the business changes.
What do Discover, Capture, Pilot and Operationalize mean?
They are the four steps of the work, in order. Discover is where I learn where your business loses time or money. Capture is where I map your systems and who owns each one, and write down what your people know so AI can use it. Pilot is one real job done with AI by your own people, and Operationalize is where AI becomes part of how the business runs and I keep running it.
Is the pilot a free trial?
No. The pilot is real work, covered by your monthly fee. Your own people do one real job with AI on your own information. Before I start we agree on how we'll judge it.
How does the fee work?
One monthly fee, no build fee. I give you one number after we talk, once I understand the work.
How do you check what AI costs against what it brings in?
Each month I write a short report on what the AI cost and what it brought in. We meet weekly, by sit-down or call, and you make the calls only you can make. If something isn't paying off we change it or stop it.
Who owns the Claude workspace?
Your company owns its Claude workspace and pays Anthropic for it directly. Each person signs in as themselves.
Do you build software?
Yes, when the work needs it. I build a simple app or dashboard on your information for your team to work from. We decide that together once we know the job.
How do we start?
Tell me about your business on the questionnaire at start.edgesolutions.pro. Then we talk about how the business runs, and I give you one number for the monthly fee.
