Why Michigan is different for cannabis dispensaries

Three factors shape every AI engagement we deliver in Michigan:

  • Sector adjacency. Michigan's anchor sectors — Automotive, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Agriculture — create cross-pollination patterns most agencies miss. We routinely apply automotive-adjacent automation playbooks to cannabis dispensary workflows here.
  • Regulatory posture. Michigan follows federal frameworks; auto OEM supply chain AI must consider ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity standards. Our compliance memo precedes every production deployment.
  • Talent + competitive density. Auto manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and technology drive Michigan. The senior-engineer scarcity in MI is exactly why outside delivery beats in-house ramp for most cannabis dispensary AI builds.

How we work

  1. Discovery (1-2 weeks, $1.5K-$3K, credited): We map your cannabis dispensary workflows, surface the top 3 AI opportunities ranked by payback, and write a fixed-price scope.
  2. Build (typically 4-10 weeks): Senior engineers ship production code with full observability, cost monitoring, and audit logs from day one.
  3. Launch + 30-day warranty: We monitor, tune, and fix anything that breaks free for the first 30 days post-launch.

Your competitors are deploying, your team is burning out on tasks AI handles for cents per call, and the talent to build it in-house is harder to hire every month. The fastest path forward is to bring in a team that's already done it. That's us.
