The problem

One coach, one plant, one visit a month. Everything in between waited for the visit.

What we built

A coach in Teams that asks the way Art Smalley asks — four books on problem solving, eleven years inside Toyota — then loaded with the company’s own standards so it coaches their method, not a textbook.

Yours is not on this list. That is normal.

Tell us your problem

Nobody else does both.

AI teams have never run a shift. Operations teams have never shipped software. That gap is the whole reason this page exists.

Hiring an FDE

Where they learned the work
On the floor, for years
In software
On your clock
Time to a working tool

Months, if the hire lands

What you end up with
A tool that runs, and people who can change it
A tool that runs while they stay
A recommendation
When it ends
Your team keeps building
You keep paying the salary
You keep the document
What it costs you
One engagement
A permanent six-figure headcount
Day rates, for as long as it runs
Where the other two beat us
We are two people and we take few engagements
Yours full time, every day, on every problem
A deep bench and a global footprint

Two people. Both of them show up.

No account manager, no bench of juniors, no handoff after the sale. The two people on this page are the two people you work with.

Art Smalley

Art Smalley

Art was one of the first Americans to work for Toyota in Japan, on the ground from 1985 to 1996. He has written four books on how improvement actually happens, and taught the method for two decades since. In your operation, he is the one who sees the thing your team stopped noticing years ago.

Matt Savas

Matt Savas

Matt spent ten years at the Lean Enterprise Institute, watching first-rate training reach one room at a time. He built Kaizumi himself to change that arithmetic — a platform that uses AI to put lean thinking in reach of the people doing the work, not only the ones who can afford a consultant.

Tell us your problem.

You do not need a project, a budget, or a plan. You need one problem you are tired of.

Most AI help arrives knowing the model and not the work.We arrive knowing both.

We embed with your team, build the thing alongside them, and leave them able to run and extend it.
