AI is not a feature. It’s an organizational capability.

Tiktaalik AI helps organizations turn AI from ad-hoc experimentation into a production-grade, measurable capability—starting with development teams.

Problem

Why most AI initiatives stall

The problem isn’t models. It’s how organizations adopt them.

AI is introduced as a feature, not a system

Tooling is adopted without changing how work happens

Costs grow faster than confidence

Knowledge stays fragmented in individuals

Leadership lacks visibility into real impact

What Tiktaalik AI does

Tiktaalik AI is an AI systems and organizational capability company.

We design and build production-grade AI systems

We embed directly into client teams

We take end-to-end accountability for outcomes

We make AI impact measurable and governable

"We don’t help you ‘use AI.’ We help you operate with it."

How we work

01

AI-Readiness Transformation (60–90 Days)

  • Embed senior AI engineers into your teams
  • Ship real, production AI systems
  • Establish AI-ready development practices
  • Make impact measurable

This is not an assessment. This is delivery.

02

AI Capability Stewardship (Retainer)

  • Ongoing oversight of AI system health
  • Governance of AI cost vs value
  • Protection against drift, misuse, and silent decay
  • Early detection of strategic inflection points

No execution. No ticket queues. Senior stewardship only.

03

Scoped Expansion

  • New teams
  • New AI systems
  • Broader organizational adoption

All expansion is explicit, scoped, and outcome-owned.

Embedding principle

Tiktaalik engineers embed with client teams to co-own systems and outcomes—not to augment capacity—and remain accountable until the organization can independently sustain the capability.

What does ‘AI-Ready’ mean?

An AI-ready organization can reliably collaborate with AI systems—safely, measurably, and sustainably.

AI is part of daily workflows, not side experiments
Teams understand when not to trust AI
Costs and trade-offs are visible to leadership
Systems are designed to evolve as models change

Who we work with

Good Fit

  • Have real products and engineering teams
  • Have experimented with AI but struggled to scale it
  • See AI as strategic, not cosmetic

Not a Fit

  • Want demos or quick wins
  • Are looking for outsourced experimentation
  • Expect AI without organizational change

Why Tiktaalik

Systems-first, not tools-first
Outcome ownership, not advice
Embedded delivery, not outsourcing
Governance and economics built in from day one

"Like its namesake, Tiktaalik bridges legacy organizations and AI-native ways of working—without breaking what already exists."

Our vision

Our long-term vision is to help organizations manage the full AI lifecycle—from experimentation to production to continuous evolution—across teams where humans and AI work together.

That future is built on real systems, real teams, and real constraints—not hype.
