Intelligence
2024
Vessel is a document intelligence layer built for professional services firms. It reads, connects, and surfaces relevant context from large document corpora — the kind of knowledge that used to live only in senior partners' heads.
The firm had fifteen years of institutional knowledge locked in documents no one read. Every new engagement started from scratch. The challenge was making that knowledge accessible without making it overwhelming.
We rejected the chatbot interface entirely. Vessel surfaces knowledge in context — at the moment a team member needs it — rather than requiring them to go looking. The intelligence comes to the work, not the other way around.
In controlled trials, teams using Vessel spent significantly less time on background research. The quality of first-draft outputs improved measurably. The work is ongoing.
Stratum
Infrastructure that disappears.
