HR that thinks
in the age of AI.

For

HR teams without a tech team

People-first leaders who want the leverage of AI without becoming prompt engineers.

What we do

Assess · Build · Evolve

A three-phase practice that turns the AI your company already pays for into real HR operating leverage.

Fractional, embedded, on-call

Engagements from two-week audits to quarterly retainers. Remote-first, US-based, senior-led.

§ 01 — The Premise
Illustration of a warm study room: a tall archive cabinet of small drawers, a desk with an open handbook and brass lamp
The vestry — the room where a community keeps its important documents. It's where the name comes from.

Your leadership wants AI. Your handbook hasn't been opened since onboarding. Your team is wonderful at people, and understandably nervous about tools. We close that gap — with the rigor of an HR advisory and the fluency of an AI practice.

We are

A small, senior consultancy built for HR leaders who were handed AI strategy and no engineering team to execute it. Senior people, on your side of the table.

We aren't

A software vendor, a staffing agency, or a PEO. We don't sell you a seat license and disappear. We build the playbook, then we train you off of us.

§ 02 — Engagement Model

Three phases.
One relationship.

Typical engagement: 2–26 weeks
Phase 01
Assess
2 – 3 weeks

A full inventory of your HR stack, your AI licenses, and the gap between them. You leave with a written diagnostic, a prioritized roadmap, and the confidence to either build it yourself or hand it to us.

  • Policy & handbook audit
  • AI subscription inventory
  • Workflow opportunity map
  • Risk & compliance flagging
Phase 02
Build
4 – 12 weeks

We design and install the workflow — a policy knowledge agent, an onboarding rebuild, a manager-training curriculum, a comp framework — and we bring your team along so it sticks after we leave.

  • Knowledge agents (policy Q&A)
  • Handbook rewrites
  • Onboarding & offboarding design
  • Manager training curriculum
Phase 03
Evolve
Ongoing · Quarterly

AI moves fast; HR law moves faster than people think. A quarterly retainer keeps your workflows current, your policies compliant, and your team learning the newest things that actually matter.

  • Quarterly workflow review
  • Compliance & law updates
  • New tool evaluation
  • On-call advisory hours
§ 03 — Service Areas

What we work on.

All services
01 / 05
AI Capabilities Audit

A two-week diagnostic of every AI subscription, license, and workflow across your HR function — and the fastest path to getting real work out of them.

02 / 05
Quarterly AI Reviews

Ongoing maintenance for the workflows we build. New model launches, policy changes, and tool migrations — handled, quietly, in the background.

03 / 05
Preparing Your Org for AI

An org-wide AI readiness evaluation, a role-by-role impact map, and an honest plan for upskilling your people toward the skills that age well.

04 / 05
Leadership AI Framing

Companies adopt AI at the speed their leadership talks about it. We work with execs and senior leaders on how to actually become AI advocates inside their org.

05 / 05
HR Best Practices

Policy review, benefits, comp, and best-practice work. The classic HR infrastructure, delivered senior-led, with the same plain-language standard we bring to the AI work.
