What We Do

Diagnosis Before
Prescription.

Most AV integrators walk your property with a quote sheet in hand. They already know what they want to sell you before they hear a single problem you have.


We don't sell equipment. We don't have contractor relationships. Our only incentive is an honest assessment — and a solution that makes you look good to ownership.

01
Property Assessment

A structured diagnostic of your full AV infrastructure — ballrooms, lobbies, F&B, conference space, and back-of-house. What's broken, what's aging, and what the right fix actually costs.

02
System Design

Specification-level system design with platform recommendations, signal flow documentation, and vendor-neutral procurement guidance — built to perform, not to pad a margin.

03
Integration Oversight

On-site and remote project management through installation. We represent your interests, not a contractor's. Every system is documented and tested before we sign off.

The Property Read

Our Entry-Point
Assessment.

The Property Read is a paid diagnostic assessment — our only entry-point offering. Every engagement starts here. No skipping ahead to a scope of work we haven't earned.

Founder Promotion — First five clients only: receive Tier II deliverables at Tier I pricing in exchange for a published case study and one referral introduction. The assessment fee credits fully toward any subsequent project work. You cannot lose money on this engagement.

Tier I
The Read
$2,500

Single-day on-site assessment. Full infrastructure walkthrough, written findings, and priority recommendations. Built for properties that need answers fast.

Tier III
The Full Read
$12,500+

30–60 day immersive engagement with findings workshop and full system redesign brief. For properties in active renovation or managing a capital budget decision.

How It Works

Four Steps.
No Surprises.

01
We Listen

A 30-minute conversation about your property, your team, and the problems that are already costing you money.

02
We Look

On-site walkthrough of every AV touchpoint — front of house, back of house, F&B, and event spaces.

03
We Diagnose

A written assessment with specific findings, root causes, and prioritized recommendations — no vague "upgrades."

04
You Decide

Armed with real information, you choose what to fix, when, and with whom. We can stay as your project partner or hand off the roadmap.

Proof of Work

The Numbers
Speak.

$1.8M
Documented Savings

Across managed AV projects — display systems, broadcast infrastructure, and campus-wide installs. Competing vendor quotes ranged from $350K to $2M. Our solutions delivered at a fraction of the cost, with zero compromise on performance.

150+
Live Broadcasts Engineered

ESPN+ live events — where failure isn't an option and the engineering has to be right the first time. That standard is what we bring to every hospitality property we touch.

$135K
Single Project Savings

Broadcast infrastructure consolidation: vendor quote was $200K. Our QSYS-based solution came in at $65K. Same capability. Better documentation. Full team training included.

15min
Remote Resolution Time

A system-down event at a 10,000-seat arena resolved remotely via QSYS access — no truck roll, no emergency dispatch, no downtime during an event. That's what staying connected to your systems looks like.

The diagnosis always comes before the prescription.
We know what a good system actually costs.
