Buyers and engineers ask AI who makes what they need, in what materials, at what volumes. Manufacturers with clear capability pages get on the list. Most have a five-page site from 2015. I fix that.
I ran business operations at Rookwood Pottery, helping bring an 1800s Cincinnati brand back to life. My own brand Hipsy was made in the USA, with patents and trademarks to protect it.
What Our Customers Say

Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term.
