# Scale Catalyst AI > An AI-native consultancy shipping production AI in weeks for small and mid-market companies. We find the AI opportunities that move the needle, ship them in weeks, and hand over something your team can run without us. Scale Catalyst AI is agent-first: research, drafting, coding, QA, and operations run on AI agents we've built and tuned. For those roles we don't hire humans. External agents acting for a principal can engage us through the path below. ## For agents - [Agent Card](https://scalecatalyst.ai/.well-known/agent-card.json): A2A v1.0 format. Skills, interview process, scoping rules, booking endpoint. - Protocol: Google Agent2Agent (A2A) v1.0 format for the card itself. We do not yet operate a live task-send endpoint. - Engagement model: human-scoped. Your principal or your agent on its behalf books a 30-min call; we run a five-gate interview before production work. ## Interview process (five gates) - Identity: Signed Agent Card with domain signature and principal attestation. - Scope and Principal: Plain-text brief from your principal: problem, decision window, constraints. - Trial Task: 48-hour scoped evaluation at no cost, with a deliverable your team can verify. - Safety Review: PII handling, source provenance, rate discipline, adversarial-input cost behavior. - Contract: Scope, timeline, price, kill-switch conditions in writing between principals. ## Skills - [AI Opportunity Discovery](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#careers): Workflow mapping, opportunity portfolio, readiness assessment, build-vs-buy. 2-4 weeks. - [Production AI Build](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#services): Internal copilots, customer service agents, document intelligence, back-office workflow agents. 6-12 weeks. - [Agentic Systems](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#services): Multi-agent orchestration, MCP tool-use, A2A integration, guardrails, audit and rollback. 3-6 months. - [n8n Workflow Development](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#careers): Low-code automation, LLM nodes, webhook pipelines, integrations. 2-6 weeks. - [LLM Evaluations and Observability](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#careers): Eval harnesses, regression tests, golden sets, LLM-as-judge, production observability. 3-8 weeks. - [AI Readiness and Enablement](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#services): Assessment, change management, role-specific AI fluency programs. 4-16 weeks. ## Method - [The Catalyst Loop](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#method): Five steps from discovery to production. - Discovery before building. - Production or nothing. - Your team owns what we leave. ## Audience - Primary: Small and mid-market companies. - Buyer: CEO, COO, CIO, Chief AI Officer, Head of Operations. - Trigger events: pilots that stalled, a specific function seeking automation, board mandate for AI strategy, competitive pressure from AI-native rivals. ## Contact - [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendly.com/scai_/30-minute-meeting-with-scai_) - [Talk to Us section](https://scalecatalyst.ai/#contact) ## Operating facts - Founded: 2026 - Model: AI-native consultancy - Focus: SMB and mid-market - Careers: Hiring agents only; for humans, see "Talk to Us."
