Current experiments & pilot program

What we're buildingwith early partners.

Your AI Diagnostic identifies your next milestone. This is where that milestone gets built — through a hands-on pilot, alongside the experiments we're actively running right now.

Current experiments

What we're exploring.

These aren't finished products. They're areas where we're actively building and learning with early partners.

Business Pulse

Active

Helping founders understand what needs attention every morning, drawn from their existing email and calendar.

Follow-up

Active

Reducing missed opportunities by surfacing prospects and clients that have gone quiet.

Internal Knowledge

Active

Helping teams find answers faster from the documents and context they already have.

Meeting Intelligence

Building

Turning conversations into accountable work — owners, deadlines, and follow-ups.

Client Operations

Building

Reducing manual coordination with customers throughout the project.

Proposal Drafting

Exploring

Drafting new proposals from your past wins, so proposal writing depends less on your most senior people.

Client Onboarding

Exploring

Speeding up onboarding for new clients and new hires with the context and standards that usually live in someone's head.

Illustrative example — not a specific client

What a milestone looks like, start to finish.

A composite of patterns we commonly see in founder-led architecture and consulting firms — here, a 12-person architecture firm working with schools and nonprofit institutions.

01

Diagnose

The diagnostic surfaces that proposal positioning — which past projects to lead with, and why — lives only with the two founding partners. A PM drafts blind, and the partners end up rewriting the opening and reordering projects instead of reviewing. They confirm it: this has cost them weeks.

02

Review

The firm skips the paid option. Catalyst reviews the framework internally, free, before anything gets built.

03

Blueprint

Catalyst maps their existing proposal folder and project tracker, then turns the milestone into a concrete technical plan: a short questionnaire — client type, comparable scope, budget scale, funding context — that outputs which past projects to lead with, in order, and the angle for each, before a PM starts writing. The blueprint is theirs to keep either way.

04

Build

The firm chooses to run it on Catalyst's platform alongside their existing tools. Catalyst builds a working version; someone on the team checks it before the PMs start using it.

05

Operate & Measure

PMs use it on live proposals for a few weeks. Rewrite time on the opening and project order drops close to zero.

06

Repeat

Next up: the same logic applied to onboarding new hires on positioning standards, or a searchable archive of past wins.

Our offer

Business Pilot

We work with a limited number of businesses at a time. Once your diagnostic identifies the milestone worth pursuing, we build a working solution, measure the results — then decide together what comes next. Priced per milestone, not as a retainer — typically a fraction of the price you'd expect.

  • —Builds directly on your diagnostic findings
  • —A blueprint you keep, even if you build it elsewhere
  • —You choose how deep to go — our platform, our platform + apps, or your own team
  • —A measurement period alongside your business, then a debrief and next milestone

Limited spots. No commitment until we've both decided it's a fit.
