Your company's best thinking shouldn't live in one head.
ADAMAS is a decision ledger that runs in the background — it records the why behind decisions you already make, links them, and turns them into the documents your team needs. The reasoning stays in the company, not in one person's head.
Keep the reasoning. Lose the bottleneck. Your team stops waiting on what only you know.
For founder-led companies scaling from $2M to $5M+. Runs on your hardware — not the cloud.
This is the product: the decision ledger. Click through the live sample →The most valuable asset in your company is trapped in a few heads.
It lives in Slack threads, whiteboards, call recordings, and the founder's memory. Today's tools store information — none capture the reasoning behind the decision.
When people leave
Critical context walks out the door. Onboarding the next person takes months because nothing was ever written down in a structured way.
When investors ask "why?"
"Why did you choose X over Y?" There's no record of the decision, the context, or who made the call. The reasoning is gone.
When the founder is the bottleneck
You're too small for a COO, too large to do it all yourself. You can't delegate because the knowledge has never been extracted from your head.
When decisions get repeated
In engineering and technical work, a single missed decision context can cost $50k–$500k in rework. Decision amnesia is expensive.
"Not what you should do next — but what you and your company decided, and why."
You can't predict the future. You're the first to master the past — every decision your company makes, and the why behind it, captured and never lost again.
Not a note app. Not a CRM. Not a chatbot.
And it isn't process optimization. It's a system of record for decisions — what was chosen, by whom, and why — so the reasoning is there when someone needs it.
A decision ledger — the first system built specifically to capture why decisions were made, structure them, link them, and generate the exact business assets your company needs at each stage of growth.
Decisions stop getting lost in chat threads, call recordings, and your memory. ADAMAS captures each one, structures it, and links it — so anyone can find what was decided and why, without asking you.
It plugs into everything your company already runs on.
Your decisions are already happening — scattered across the tools your team lives in every day. ADAMAS connects to all of them, listens, and turns that noise into structured memory.
Reads the noise from every source and surfaces the decisions that actually matter — the why, the who, and the trade-offs.
A structured, searchable record of every decision — the context, the owner, and the trade-offs — when you need it.
Three steps. No setup required from you.
We are with you from the first interview to the live handover. You won't be configuring anything or managing a system — you'll be getting one back.
The Clarity Audit
A structured deep-dive. We interview you, map where critical decision-memory lives — and where it's missing. You receive a clarity report. This is the foundation everything else is built on.
Your Vault Is Built
Founder-delivered, end to end: your local vault is built and the decision ledger loaded — you work directly with the founder, not a team you've never met. Hermes — the AI agent that powers ADAMAS — runs locally on your hardware, 24/7.
The Ledger Compounds
Every decision logged makes the ledger more useful. Onboarding docs, hiring frameworks, investor materials — all generated from the same structured source. The longer it runs, the more it's worth.
Built for the founder who knows they're the bottleneck.
- Segment
- Founder-led service & SaaS companies, $2M–$5M+ revenue
- Team
- 5–50 people, flat hierarchy, founder still hands-on
- Industries
- Engineering, technical services, specialty SaaS
- Mindset
- Practical, skeptical of hype, wants a system — not a chatbot
The buying trigger
- A key person leaves and their knowledge goes with them
- A hire fails because there's nothing to onboard them into
- An investor asks "why did you decide that?"
- The founder realizes they simply cannot scale themselves
The economics of AI just flipped.
Privacy-sensitive founders distrust cloud-only tools for their core IP. With ADAMAS, the local vault is a feature — not a compromise.
A one-time machine you own does the work — and your company's knowledge never leaves it. The default is an Apple Mac mini M4 (~$600–$1,000 in 2026); for larger local models, 128 GB AMD Ryzen AI Max+ or NVIDIA DGX Spark machines run ~$1,800–$4,000.

In early access. We publish results, not promises.
ADAMAS is in early access with founding clients. No logo wall, no invented praise — case studies appear as engagements complete, each with at least one hard metric and the client's written approval. Until then, the proof is the product itself.
The longer it runs, the harder it is to leave. Not by lock-in — by value.
We keep your data in open formats you can export any day. What grows is the part no competitor can copy.
Your history is one-of-one
Every decision captured as it happened is context that can't be reconstructed later — even with the same open tools. A two-year ledger isn't a file you copy; it's reasoning that only exists because you logged it in the moment.
The format is open — on purpose
Markdown + JSON, the public Decision Ledger Standard. Export any time; the vault is yours. The switching cost was never the format — it's the accumulated why, which is exactly why clients stay.
It pays off more each quarter
Onboarding a hire, answering "why did we decide that," prepping for diligence — each gets faster as the ledger deepens. The subscription's value rises while the price holds.
Start with a build. Run on the subscription.
ADAMAS is an ongoing intelligence subscription that starts with a done-for-you build. The longer it runs, the more your decision ledger compounds — and the more it's worth.
Anchor the math first: a single missed decision context costs $50k–$500k in rework. Getting started — audit plus build — is $5,000, then from $300/mo as the ledger compounds. The whole first year costs less than 1–10% of one lost decision.
We map the knowledge trap, interview you, and deliver a clarity report.
If the audit surfaces nothing worth fixing, we refund it.
Credited toward your buildWe build the vault, load the ledger, and deliver a live system — your onboarding into the subscription. No setup required from you.
- Vault deployed on hardware you own
- Ledger seeded with the decisions from your audit
- Your key sources connected (read-only)
- First three generated assets (e.g., onboarding doc)
- Team walkthrough + 30 days of fixes included
Your vault runs 24/7 and compounds. We keep it sharp — ongoing capture, asset generation, and strategic reviews — priced to your team size. Two months free on annual.
The ledger runs, captures, and generates assets. Quarterly strategic review.
Everything in Foundation, more sources and assets, and a monthly review as decisions accelerate.
Higher decision volume across more domains, role-based views, and priority support.
Upload your data; ADAMAS evaluates, orders, enriches, and updates assets automatically — no build required.
Every build is founder-delivered, so capacity is genuinely limited — we take on a small number of builds per month.
The questions founders actually ask.
We already use Notion / Obsidian / spreadsheets.
Those tools store information. ADAMAS captures the reasoning behind the decision and generates the next asset automatically. The difference is between a filing cabinet and an operating system.
We can just write things down.
You already know that. The problem isn't writing — it's structuring, linking, and surfacing the right knowledge at the right moment. ADAMAS does that automatically.
Is this just AI hype?
The AI is the engine, not the product. The product is the decision ledger — a structured, local-first knowledge layer that compounds over time regardless of which model powers it.
What hardware do we need?
ADAMAS is hardware-flexible — these are examples, not requirements. The default is an Apple Mac mini M4 (about $600–$1,000 in 2026); for larger local models, 128 GB AMD Ryzen AI Max+ or NVIDIA DGX Spark machines run about $1,800–$4,000. A typical local-first setup replaces about $200–459/month in cloud-AI subscriptions.
Does our data leave our company?
No. The vault is local-first and runs on your hardware. That's the point — your most valuable IP stays on-premise, which is exactly why privacy-sensitive founders choose it.
