// PRODUCTION-GRADE AI FOR REAL-ESTATE FINANCE

You can't hire a senior AI engineer fast enough.

Your calculators drift. Your pilot stalled at the integration layer. Your SDR can't cover evenings. We've already built the fix — five eligibility engines in production, a CRM that replaced HubSpot for a 100k-user platform, voice intake that answers in 90 seconds. Shipped, not advised.

// 02 · WHY NOW

The senior AI engineer your team needs costs $400K and takes 6 months to hire.

You've already burned a budget on the consultant whose pilot stalled. Your in-house team is fully booked. The hire takes two quarters, and the candidates who can actually ship are at OpenAI or Anthropic.

The alternative is already shipping. Production-grade AI engineering, embedded as a fractional partner, starting at $7,500/month. The stack senior AI engineers run: voice agents wired into your dialer, Claude-powered lead enrichment, CRM consolidation, sequence orchestration. No equity to carve out. No recruiting cycle to wait through.

Where Advisory Labs starts
// 04 · CAPABILITIES

What we ship in production.

// CAPABILITY 01 — VOICE AI INTAKE

Voice AI intake

Sub-90-second lead response. Retell + Claude + Deepgram. Prompt versioning and drift detection built in — the agent's behavior is auditable at every version, not a black box that drifts silently between deployments.

The voice layer handles intake, triage, and initial qualification — it knows when to escalate to a human and when to route the lead directly. Not a demo-quality bot: a 402-file TypeScript stack, running in production.

402 TYPESCRIPT FILES · PRODUCTION · SUB-90-SECOND SLA
// CAPABILITY 02 — AGENTIC ENRICHMENT

Agentic enrichment

Confidence-labeled lead qualification. Multi-source verification across ATTOM, Zillow, Redfin for HEI; lead-source attribution and dedup for brokerages; borrower signals for mortgage shops. Every field carries a confidence label. "Unknown" is returned when confidence is low — no hallucinated values.

PER-FIELD CONFIDENCE · NO HALLUCINATED VALUES
// CAPABILITY 03 — ELIGIBILITY LOGIC

Eligibility logic outside the LOS

Admin-driven program configuration across HEI, HEA, and SLB. Five production eligibility calculators shipped. No calculator drift — the rules live in config, not in prompt strings. Encompass and LendingPad remain untouched.

5× PRODUCTION CALCULATORS · ENCOMPASS / LENDINGPAD SAFE
// CAPABILITY 04 — CRM CONSOLIDATION

CRM consolidation

HubSpot-replacement CRM patterns built from first principles for real-estate finance operations. Unified deal panels, real-time push, role-based access, SMS and email sequence orchestration. 101 Prisma models. 1,096 production migrations. 92% test coverage.

The system runs in production, not in a staging environment waiting for a go-live decision. Migration safety gates, Sentry instrumentation, and CI/CD are part of the default stack.

101 PRISMA MODELS · 1,096 MIGRATIONS · 92% COVERAGE
// 05 · WHAT WE SHIP

Four capabilities. All production-tested. Deployed as your stack needs them.

// 01

Voice AI agents

Retell / Vapi + Claude + Deepgram. Sub-90-second lead response. Prompt versioning + drift detection.

// 02

Agentic lead enrichment

Right vendor per vertical: AVMs (ATTOM, Zillow, Redfin) for HEI, lead-source attribution + dedup for brokerages, borrower signals for mortgage. Confidence label per field. No hallucinated values.

// 03

CRM consolidation

HubSpot replacement or augmentation. Unified deal panels. Real-time push. Role-based access.

// 04

Sequence orchestration

SMS / email / voicemail drops. Business-hours gating. TCPA-aware. Multi-touch attribution.

// 06 · HOW WE WORK

Four stages. Each one a real "no" point.

Most agencies want a contract before they understand the problem. We work backwards. Free teardown first. Audit second. Build only when both sides know what we're shipping. Retainer only if both sides want it.

  1. // 01
    30 MIN · NO COST

    Free Teardown

    A working session, not a sales call. We look at your actual lead flow and tell you where the drop-off is. No quote at the end by design.

  2. // 02
    2 WEEKS · $5,000 (HEI/Mortgage: $7,500)

    Audit

    Stack audit + 90-day roadmap + prioritized ROI estimates. The deliverable is what you should actually build, in order.

  3. // 03
    6–8 WEEKS · $25,000–$50,000

    Build

    Fixed scope, fixed price, production deployment. Voice AI, enrichment, CRM, or sequences — scoped after the audit.

  4. // 04
    6-MONTH MIN · $7,500–$15,000/MO

    Retainer

    Embedded engineering. Direct contribution, not just review. On-call for production. Roadmap ownership.

// 08 · WHY ADVISORY LABS

We're not an AI consultant. We're the engineer you call when your AI consultant's pilot stalled.

  1. // 01

    We've shipped it, not advised on it.

    Five production AI-augmented CRMs in real-estate finance. Live code, running today.

  2. // 02

    Production discipline, not pilot theater.

    7-specialist review pipeline. 92% test coverage. Migration safety gates. Sentry. CI/CD.

  3. // 03

    Vertical specialists.

    80%+ of shipped work in HEI / brokerages / mortgage / home services.

  4. // 04

    Agentic AI with judgment.

    Web-search enrichment + voice agents with drift detection + strategic non-use of LLMs where deterministic scoring is better.

  5. // 05

    No junior bait-and-switch.

    Solo operator. The person on the pitch is the person who ships.

// THE WHOLE PITCH
Most consultants ship slides. We ship code. The difference shows up in your migration count six months in.

// 09 · BRIEF US

Tell us what's broken.

We'll come back with one of three things: a teardown invite, a pointed question, or an honest "this isn't us." Most briefs get a reply within two business days.

By submitting, you'll get a response from Advisory Labs directly. We don't add you to a list. We don't send drip campaigns. We read it and reply.
