Delivered $10M+ in AI-driven value across manufacturing, distribution, and services. Built by a team with deep AI leadership and Ducker Carlisle’s decades of industry and value creation experience.
What We Do
We make AI practical, governable, and valuable.
Most organizations do not fail at AI because of ideas, they fail because they lack focus, operating model, data readiness, and adoption. We fix those, then deploy targeted solutions where they matter.
How We Help
Value Discovery and Prioritization
Identify, size, and sequence AI opportunities tied to real value drivers, not curiosity projects. Ends with a short roadmap and an execution plan.
Risk-Free Offer
90-Day AI Citizen Developer Pilot
A hands-on pilot enabling your top performers to rapidly build automation and AI-enabled solutions at scale — guided, trained, and organized by Ducker Carlisle experts.
$30,000 fee. Guaranteed.
If we do not deliver $100K+ in validated savings in 90 days, you pay nothing. Your commitment: 5 top performers, 3 hours/week. We handle everything else.
Outcome: 3–10 production-ready AI solutions, $100K+ in validated annualized savings, and a scalable citizen-developer model.
Start the 90-Day PilotTargeted AI Solutions and Agents
We deploy practical solutions in high-friction workflows where speed, accuracy, and cost-to-serve matter. Examples include procurement and compliance, pricing and quoting, customer support automation, forecasting, and document workflows.
AI Office as a Service
Fractional AI leadership and enablement to set direction, prioritize use cases, select tools, govern risk, and drive adoption. Ideal when you need senior AI leadership without building a full internal function.
Where We Fit
Middle Market PE
$50M – $500M revenue
“You know AI matters but lack internal expertise. You need fast wins that prove ROI before scaling investment.”
Large PE
$500M+ revenue
“You have pilots scattered across business units. You need governance, prioritization, and a model that scales without creating vendor lock-in.”
Corporate Clients
Enterprise scale
“You’re exploring AI but procurement, compliance, and risk governance are slowing progress. You need a pragmatic path that works within your constraints.”
Why Ducker Carlisle Data & AI
We don’t just advise on AI. We built it, deployed it internally, and proved it works under real PE constraints before bringing it to you.
Recent Impact
Ducker Carlisle Internal Deployment
$1M+
Operational Savings Identified
As a PE-backed firm, we ran our own 90-day AI citizen developer pilot before selling it to clients. We deployed a decentralized model that enabled teams across finance, operations, and business development to build their own AI solutions. Result: $1M in validated operational savings and a scalable playbook we now offer to portfolio companies. This is proof the model works under real PE constraints: lean teams, budget scrutiny, and zero tolerance for failure.
RFP AI Agent
$36M
Revenue Increase Per Year
An 8-week project to transform RFP workflows using AI resulted in a $36M/year revenue increase by reallocating efforts to high-value activities for a $400M division of a $1B aerospace company.
Procurement AI Agent
$1.3M
Invoicing Errors Captured
A 10-week project to build agent-based solutions that automate data extraction captured an additional $1.3M in invoicing errors and corrected them for a Fortune 500 company. Multiple FTEs were reallocated due to the reduced time needed to locate and review sourcing agreements.
Parts Forecasting AI Agent
€2M+
Safety Stock Savings
A 4-week project to build a Python-based forecasting solution saved over €2M in safety stock while improving fill rates and significantly reducing forecast error for an agricultural spare parts e-commerce player in Europe (€800M revenue).
