Apparatus 101 — Foundations
Stop Losing Ground to Firms Half Your Size
One half-day workshop. Your whole team leaves with working AI infrastructure, a shared prompt library, and a clear plan for where AI fits in your highest-volume work.
The Problem
Your team is smart. Your AI setup is leaving money on the table.
A few people use ChatGPT. A few others tried Claude. Nobody knows what the other person figured out, because nobody wrote it down. Good prompts die in browser history.
Meanwhile, smaller firms with tighter systems are winning work you should be winning. The work is inefficient and the gains aren't compounding.
You know your team is capable of more. You've seen what AI can do in the right hands. You just haven't been able to get everyone's hands working the same way.
Your clients pay for your firm's expertise. They should be getting the best your whole team knows - not whoever happened to figure out the right prompt last Tuesday.
Why Apparatus
We've been where you are.
Apparatus runs on the same AI systems we teach. We built this workshop because we needed it ourselves, and because the firms we work with kept having the same conversation: scattered use, no shared standard, no way to build on what's working.
We work with consultancies, law firms, and advisory practices with 10 to 150 people. We know what the work looks like. We build from there.
What to Expect
Three steps to a firm that runs on AI.
01
Get your team speaking the same language.
In one half-day workshop, everyone learns to write prompts that produce reliable output. No more guessing. No more senior people fixing junior people's AI-generated drafts.
02
Build the infrastructure together.
Every participant leaves with a working Claude Project, your firm's context already built in. You also walk away with the foundation of a shared prompt library your whole team can use and add to.
03
Map AI into your actual workflows.
We don't leave you with theory. Before the session ends, you identify where AI fits in your highest-volume work and what the habit looks like week to week.
Get Started
Book a 30-minute call.
We'll find out where your team is, identify the best place to start, and walk you through what a 101 engagement looks like for a firm your size.
Why Now
What's at stake if nothing changes.
The firms that standardize AI use first will take on more work with the same headcount, hold their fees, and win engagements competitors can't staff efficiently. That gap exists now. It compounds. Scattered individual use doesn't close it - and a year from now it's a harder gap to bridge.
The Other Side
What your firm looks like on the other side.
Your whole team works from the same playbook. A prompt one person figures out becomes something everyone has.
Delivery gets faster without cutting fees, which means margins go up without a single difficult client conversation.
Junior staff produce output that used to require senior review. You take on larger engagements without matching the headcount.
And you have something to build on. 101 is the foundation - not the ceiling.
What comes next
202
Power Tools
Individual workflows become firm-level assets. Internal data gets connected. What one person knows becomes infrastructure everyone can use.

Custom Development
Proprietary tools your competitors can't replicate. New services to sell. Engagements you can win because nobody else is set up to deliver them.
