Programs
Build. Teach. Defend.
Three interlocking pillars. Each pillar earns revenue that funds subsidized access for tradesmen who can't pay — and donor dollars amplify the ones that already do.
Pillar 1
BUILD — AI tools for the trades
Tools that solve problems tradespeople actually have. Voice-first, offline-capable, priced for one-truck contractors ($99–$299/mo). Earned revenue funds mission expansion and free-tier access.

Pillar 2
TEACH — Applied AI literacy with the trades
Curriculum written by tradesmen, delivered to tradesmen. No computer-science prerequisites, no fluff. Free tier for low-income tradespeople funded by grants.
Who buys what: apprentices and journeymen buy their own seat in the certificate. Owners expense crew rollouts and corporate training. Both are first-class citizens here.
- Weekend workshops
"AI for Electricians," "AI for Contractors," "AI for Mechanics." One-day, in person or remote. - AI-Ready Tradesman certificate
4-week online program. Practical skills: prompting, automation, doc generation, safety. - Corporate crew training
Contractor-wide rollouts for mid-size shops. Customized to stack and trade. - Trade-school partnerships
Drop-in modules for apprenticeship programs and community colleges.
Pillar 3
DEFEND — Cybersecurity from AI threats
Small shops are the easiest targets and the least protected. AI-powered phishing, voice cloning, credential attacks — we audit, monitor, and train against them.
- Threat audit
$2k–$5k. End-to-end review. Report + remediation plan. - Monthly monitoring
Ongoing retainer. Incident response on call. - Crew training
Voice-clone drills, phishing sims, password hygiene.
