Yikes Dude · AI Studio · Austin, TX
AI for businesses that ship.

The method
Interview. Analyze. Execute.
The way we approach every engagement, regardless of whether it ends in a 200-page evaluation, a custom agent, or a multi-tenant platform shipped to production. Borrowed from a long arc of work that started before Yikes Dude, the methodology that once produced a 200-page operational scan and seeded a spun-out QA/QC product.

Interview
We watch how the work actually happens. Not how the org chart says it does.

Analyze
We score systems, vendors, and data against where AI moves the needle.
- 03
Execute
Thin slice in week one. Real software, real data, real users by week six.
