Start running systems.

We build structured data systems for growing teams, then layer in AI so your team can query, automate, and act on business information in ways that weren’t possible before. From scattered spreadsheets to a system that gets smarter over time.

Messy Data
Manual Work
Broken Tools
AI-Ready Tasks
Not AI-Ready

Your data is a mess and everyone knows it.

Duplicates, conflicting numbers, critical info trapped in someone's head. You need a real data model: one source of truth that reflects how your business actually works.

Too much of your day is manual busywork.

Copy-pasting between tools, manually moving records. The process exists, but it's held together by people remembering to do things.

Your tools are working against you, not for you.

People dread opening the system because it's cluttered or confusing. The tool should fit the work, not the other way around.

You're doing work a machine should be doing.

Your team is spending hours on tasks that AI could handle in seconds. The missing piece? Structured data.

You want to use AI but your data isn't ready for it.

Every time you try AI with your business data, you get garbage answers. You don't have an AI problem. You have a data problem.

We build structured data systems for growing teams. Replacing the duct-taped spreadsheets, manual processes, and half-adopted tools with a unified backend your team can trust, your AI can use, and your business can build on.

Scalable Architecture

Data models designed to grow with your business, not break under pressure.

Automations

Connect your tools and eliminate repetitive manual work with automated workflows.

AI Enablement

With solid foundations in place, AI does two things: it pulls real insights from your data, and it accelerates how the systems themselves get built. Better tools, built faster, getting smarter over time.

AI Knowledge Agents

Let your team ask questions across your data in plain language and get instant, accurate answers.

AI-Powered Workflows

Classify, summarize, route, and flag records automatically, no manual intervention required.

Dashboards & Reporting

Real-time reporting layers built for leadership and teams. No more stale exports.

Our Framework

Structured Data Is the Foundation.
AI Is the Payoff.

Think of it as a pyramid. Most companies want what’s at the top: AI insights, smart automation, intelligence that saves real time. But the top only works if you build the layers underneath it.

Base

Data Collection & Workflows

How your team enters, captures, and organizes information. Get this right and everything above it works. This is where Airtable comes in.

Middle

Data Pipeline

Automations that keep data clean, integrations that keep it flowing, infrastructure that holds up as you scale.

Top

AI Insights

Knowledge agents, smart routing, automated reporting, anomaly detection. The huge returns that come from having the foundation right.

We start by understanding where you’re headed, then work backward to figure out what needs to be built.

Whether that’s a clean data layer today or an AI workflow six months from now, one partner guiding you toward the full picture.

Baz Filmer, Founder at Shawmut

Baz Filmer

Founder · Boston, MA

Shawmut started from a simple lesson learned working at larger companies: unorganized data stifles growth and stops teams from delivering their true value. The whole mission has been helping business owners and teams find the right tools and systems to get real leverage. So people can do the work that actually matters, and the business can grow without just adding headcount.

That work hasn’t changed. Structured data and well-built systems matter as much as they ever did. What’s different now is what you can do on top of them. AI has become part of the toolkit, helping teams make sense of their data in ways that weren’t possible before, and helping build better systems along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Small to mid-size businesses, nonprofits, and growing teams, typically 10 to 150 people who've outgrown spreadsheets but aren't ready for enterprise software. If your operations run on scattered tools, manual processes, and tribal knowledge, and you're wondering how to actually use AI with your business data, we can probably help.

Airtable is often the right foundation: powerful enough for complex relational data, flexible enough to evolve, and accessible enough that your team doesn't need a developer on staff. But we're not dogmatic about it. We build the architecture that fits your needs, including AI agents and integrations that go well beyond Airtable's native features. When a different tool is the right call, we'll tell you.

That's most of our clients at the start. We begin every engagement with a discovery phase to understand how your team works, what's breaking, and what the right system looks like. You don't need a spec, just a willingness to talk through the problem.

A focused workflow build might take 2–3 weeks. A full operational system with integrations usually runs 6–10 weeks. We scope everything upfront so there are no surprises.

Yes. Systems need to evolve as your business does. We offer maintenance plans so you always have someone to call when needs change.

Think of it as a pyramid. At the base: how your team collects and organizes data. In the middle: the pipeline that keeps it clean and flowing. At the top: AI insights, knowledge agents, smart automation, reporting that writes itself. Most companies try to start at the top and wonder why it doesn’t work. We build the whole pyramid, base to top, so the AI layer has something solid to stand on. That’s why our AI implementations actually stick.
