What Atlas Instinct can help with

Capabilities, in plain terms.

The capability map below reflects work I've done firsthand — not a list of practice areas borrowed from a deck. Each one is something I can stand up, run, and document.

See structured services

AI readiness assessment.

End-to-end readiness review for credit unions and law firms: workflow discovery, data readiness, governance, vendor selection, regulatory framing, and a 90-day starting sprint a board can approve.

Agentic AI strategy & build.

From use-case prioritization through pilot, governance, and production criteria. Hands-on with agent design for member service, document review, knowledge retrieval, and lead-pipeline applications.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

Audit, benchmark, and remediation for how AI tools surface your brand, products, and category. Includes structured-data, FAQ, named-entity, and authoritative-content workstreams.

Marketing data readiness.

Preparing the marketing data layer — CMS, marketing automation, BI, attribution, analytics — for AI-mediated discovery and agentic workflows. The plumbing decision most marketing teams are about to inherit.

Competitive intelligence.

Win/loss programs, competitor deep-dives, market-share analysis, and battlecards built around real buyer behavior — not feature matrices.

Credit union market entry (for fintechs).

ICP, positioning, GTM motion, conference strategy, and CUSO partnership playbook. The bridge between fintech GTM discipline and credit union channel fluency.

M&A advisory.

Strategic rationale, competitive diligence, integration planning, and the board/regulator narrative — on either side of the table.

Marketing attribution & analytics infrastructure.

Built from scratch at a $1.6B+ credit union: connecting spend to acquisition, product adoption, cross-sell, and retention with executive and board-level reporting.
