Most AI projects stall in the gap between the demo and daily use.

Most AI projects stall after the demo. Ours go live.

MIT’s 2025 study of enterprise AI found that most generative AI pilots never produced a measurable return. The model is rarely the reason.

Projects stall on messy data, missing integrations, a security review nobody planned for, and no one owning the result. We plan for all of it from the first week, because we’re the engineers who will build and run it.

95%

of enterprise generative AI pilots showed no measurable profit impact.

Where AI pays off first.

We work across sectors, but these are the industries where we see the fastest return today, including the regulated ones where privacy, validation and audit trails are not optional.

All industries

Built in Canada. Governed like it matters.

Your IT, security and legal teams will have questions. We answer them before they ask: where the data lives, who can see it, what the AI is allowed to do, and how every decision can be explained later.

  • Canadian data residency

    Deployed in Canadian cloud regions on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, or on your own infrastructure. Your data stays in the country.

  • Your cloud, your keys

    We build inside your environment, under your identity provider and encryption keys. Nothing you send is used to train someone else's model.

  • Privacy by design

    PIPEDA and Québec Law 25 obligations are designed in from the first sprint, with a privacy impact assessment as a standard deliverable.

  • Measured, not guessed

    Every system ships with an evaluation suite, red-team results and a written definition of what good looks like, agreed with your team.

  • Every action on the record

    Agents act with the narrowest permissions that work. Each step is logged, attributable to a person or a policy, and reversible.

  • No lock-in to one model

    We choose models by evaluation, not by partnership, and design so a better or cheaper one can be swapped in without a rebuild.

How we handle security

Three ways to work with us.

Start small or start building. Every engagement has a fixed scope and price up front, and you only commit to the next step once the last one has delivered.

  • AI strategy sprint

    2 weeks

    Best for: You know AI could help, but not where to start.

    We interview the people closest to the work, map where time and money go, and rank the opportunities. You get a clear yes or no on each idea, with a business case for the top three.

    • Ranked list of AI opportunities
    • Cost, effort and payback for each
    • A plan you can take to leadership
    Start with a sprint

  • Build a solution

    Our core offer

    8 to 12 weeks

    Best for: You have a use case and want it running.

    We take one use case from prototype to a production system your team uses every day, through security review and with your people trained to run it.

    • Working system in your cloud
    • Integrations with your tools
    • Security, privacy and user documentation

Why we’re called IdeaSolved.

Every leadership team we meet has a list of AI ideas. Very few of those ideas ever become something people use every day. Ideas are easy; solving them takes engineering.

We’ve been building software for Canadian companies since 2018: web platforms, SaaS products, integrations and automation, for more than 75 clients. AI has changed how much can be solved. It hasn’t changed who does the solving: a small senior team that understands your business, tells you plainly what will work, and stays until it does.
