Core Thesis & Strategy
Investing ahead of AI-driven valuation shifts in the real economy.
Fundamentally strong, real-world businesses serving enduring human needs will outperform as AI disrupts digital sectors. These companies generate reliable cash flow, maintain loyal customers, and can modernize with AI without being displaced by it.
AI-driven workforce displacement and profit reshuffling are only starting to be recognized by the market. Acting now allows early movers to acquire quality companies before valuations rise.
Our evaluation framework assesses each business’s AI disruption sensitivity, focusing on industries anchored in physical production or services that can’t be fully automated.
We prioritize comprehensible businesses with predictable earnings, manageable debt, and ethical, competent leadership - maintaining a margin of safety and avoiding short-term risk.
Operational Value Creation with AI
Human-centered AI that amplifies frontline teams.
AI is used selectively to amplify human work, not replace it. We deploy AI built around how frontline teams actually work—not generic software imposed from the top.
Change is managed through small, reversible pilot projects with measurable outcomes, leading to higher per-capita productivity, stronger customer retention, and sustained efficiency gains.
Implementation Priorities
- • Cash conversion and workflow velocity.
- • Service quality and customer retention.
- • Frontline team enablement and training.
- • Measurable improvements that compound.
