The people who draw the strategy
take it all the way to production.

The same person who shapes the strategy with leadership writes the code and ships a system that runs in production. Our members come from top-tier global strategy firms and from product teams in Japan and abroad, and bring both to every engagement.

Why Ambidextrous

One team,
no game of telephone.

From executives to consultants, from consultants to engineers: requirements get thinner every time they change hands. At Stellar AIz, the person who talked to leadership designs and builds the system, so the original intent reaches production.

Typical consultancies and AI startups

Separate consultants and engineers, stuck at the PoC

Executivesrelay →Consultantsrelay →Engineers

Consultants have never built AI, so they don't truly understand it
Engineers find it hard to talk with clients from a business perspective
A grounded production architecture is barely touched

Stellar AIz

From business problem to implementation, end to end

Leadership & front line⇄Consultant-engineers

We do the PoC engineering ourselves and find AI uses that deliver impact with leadership and the front line
The same people design the production architecture, so moving from PoC to production is smooth
We discover business requirements as we go, building them from scratch with you
