History becomes a decision in three steps. Each one is auditable.

Most engagements begin in a room, not an API. Decades of business history rarely export cleanly; it sits in ledgers, dealer management systems, registration archives, auction records, and the memory of the people who kept them.

We digitize on site where needed, and we interview the record-keepers — a column heading from 1987 often needs the person who wrote it.

Extraction is the easy half. The work is reconciliation: the same part under four names, prices in two currencies across a redenomination, a gap where 1994 flooded the basement.

We resolve entities, normalize units, and declare gaps instead of filling them silently. Every figure in the final tables links back to the page it came from — so a skeptical owner can check us against their own cabinet.

We train forecasting and pricing models on the structured history — demand for a category next quarter, the price a contract should carry, the buy that decades of cycles argue for.

The output is a recommendation with its reasoning attached. The decision stays with the person who owns it.
