AI strategy, security and implementation

Turn AI from experiments into working systems your business can trust

We help midsized companies and growing enterprises decide where AI pays off, secure it, connect it to the systems they already run, and train their people to use it. Business strategy grounded in Kellogg School of Management research, enterprise-grade engineering and security, and AI systems we run in production every day.

How ready is your company for AI?

Leaders answer eight business questions for a readiness score, a score for each area, and a 30-day action list your team can start on its own. IT and security leads can add eight technical questions for a deeper result.

Part 1 · Business · 8 questions

For leaders. Enough for your score and action list.

03 · Our work

We build and run AI systems, not slide decks

Every system here was designed, built and is operated by our team. We use on ourselves what we recommend to you.

AI strategy product

RadarSuite.ai

Built and operated by Pedagogix for our sister company, Sawhney Enterprises. Its AI Radar tells leadership teams where to invest in AI, how much, and how far their programs have come, across twelve areas of the business. Companion radars cover growth, innovation and mission. Includes organizations and invitations, AI scoring and long-form reports, search across uploaded material and subscription billing.

What it shows: we turn business strategy into working AI software, and we can start your engagement with the same tool.

radarsuite.ai
AI-native simulations

Pedagogix SIMS

AI-native business simulations used in business school classes. It runs in production and connects to universities' learning platforms over LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability), carrying live class traffic every day. AI features stay off until a customer switches them on.

What it shows: systems people rely on during working hours, integrated with the platforms they already use.

pedagogix.ai/platforms/sims
AI on an organization's own documents

Pedagogix OS

A platform for learning, assessment and AI-assisted grading, with editions for higher education, K-12 schools and executive education. The AI answers from each customer's own documents, each customer's data is walled off from every other, and each edition runs in its own cloud project.

What it shows: multi-tenant AI with strict data separation, the approach a company needs for its own documents.

pedagogix.ai/platforms/pedagogix-os
Customer-facing AI

Website chat assistant

Answers visitors from what the website says, every day, around the clock. It says it is an AI, never quotes a company price, and saves a new lead as soon as a visitor gives their details.

What it shows: a customer-facing assistant that stays inside the rules you set.

Try it on pedagogix.ai
Voice AI

AI phone assistant

Answers the company phone line, says it is an AI and that the call is recorded, answers questions from approved facts, and logs the caller for follow-up by the right person.

What it shows: voice AI connected to the same facts, rules and lead records as the website.

AI agents connected to business systems

Sales and marketing operations

Our own operations run on AI agents that research prospects from public sources with a link for every fact, draft emails and replies, sort incoming email, watch competitors and plan each day. They connect to CRM, Microsoft 365 mail, LinkedIn and Google Analytics through their APIs (application programming interfaces).

What it shows: agents that prepare the work, with a person approving before anything is sent, posted or spent.

04 · Why Pedagogix

Strategy, security and engineering under one roof

Builders, not advisers only

We run AI agents in our own operations every day. You get advice proven in production first.

Security first

Enterprise IT and cybersecurity discipline. Controls come before features, and your IT team can check every one.

Business payoff, not hype

Kellogg faculty insight keeps every project tied to a measurable business result.

Your team stays in charge

We work alongside your IT team. You own the code, the connectors and the data. No lock-in.

05 · Security and control

Controls we run today, and bring to you

These run in our own systems now. Your IT team can audit each one.

  • ✓
    Least access. Each connection gets its own account with only the rights it needs. Our AI reads two named Microsoft 365 mailboxes, read only, with no tenant-wide permission.
  • ✓
    Read first, act later. AI starts by reading and drafting. Any change (send, order, update, spend) waits for a person, and the system records who approved it.
  • ✓
    Sensitive data stays out of the model. Names, contact details, deal values and private prices become placeholders before anything reaches an AI model, and are put back inside your system.
  • ✓
    Every action audited. Each change goes through a role-checked function and writes an audit record.
  • ✓
    Keys in a vault. API keys live in a secret manager, never in code, logs or a browser.
  • ✓
    Spending caps. Each AI agent has a limit per run and per month, so costs stay predictable.
  • ✓
    Facts with sources. Agents use published or approved sources and show where each fact came from.
  • ✓
    Private models when needed. For the most sensitive data, we train a private model on it and run it in your own cloud or on your own servers, so the data never leaves your control.
  • ✓
    Honest AI. Customer-facing assistants say they are AI and hand off to a person when they should.
1Person asksSigned in with their company account and role
2AI plansSensitive fields masked before the model sees them
3MCP connectorOnly the tools and data allowed for that role
4Approval gateReads go through. Changes wait for a person
5Audit logEvery call recorded for your IT team

We match the tools you already run. With Microsoft 365 we work inside Entra ID (Microsoft's sign-in and access service) and your existing security policies. Connectors run in your own cloud account wherever possible.

06 · Industries

Where AI often pays off first

Common starting points. We confirm the right ones with you in the assessment.

Manufacturing and distribution
  • Answers from SOPs (standard operating procedures), work instructions and ISO quality records, with the source cited
  • Order, shipping and invoice mismatches caught before they become chargebacks
  • First-draft quotes from price lists and terms, approved by a person
Retail and consumer brands
  • Customer and retailer questions answered from your product and policy data
  • Product rules that vary by state, country or sales channel, checked before an order ships
  • Product descriptions and listings drafted for review
Professional services

  • First drafts of proposals, reports and client updates
  • Intake and scheduling assistants that hand off to the right person
Healthcare and care services
  • Scheduling, intake and routine questions handled by an assistant that says it is an AI
  • Policy and procedure answers for staff, with the source cited
  • Patient data kept out of AI models unless your agreements and policies allow it
Transportation and logistics
  • Dispatch and exception alerts explained in plain language
  • Billing and paperwork checks before they go out
  • Driver and customer questions answered from your own rules
Education and training
  • Our home ground: AI-native simulations, AI-assisted grading and course design
  • Integrations with learning platforms over LTI
  • Corporate training built on your company's own situations

Every industry shares a few uses: an assistant that answers from your own documents, AI that drafts emails and reports for a person to approve, sales and marketing operations, and internal IT and HR (human resources) help.

09 · Questions

What clients ask us first

Do we have to replace our systems?

No. We connect AI to the systems you already run. Replacing systems is rarely the fastest way to a payoff.

Will our data be used to train AI models?

We use business AI services whose terms keep your data out of model training, we keep sensitive fields out of the model where we can, and we document exactly what goes where so your IT team can approve it.

What if our data is too sensitive for any outside AI service?

We train a private AI model on your data and run it in your own cloud account or on your own servers. The data and the model stay under your control, and nothing goes to an outside AI provider.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The code, connectors, prompts and documentation are yours, and they run in your own accounts wherever possible.

Will you replace our IT team?

No. We work alongside your IT team, and we hand over the runbooks and training they need to run everything after launch.

How soon will we see results?

The assessment takes two to three weeks. A first working system typically follows within one quarter of the first meeting.

Can you take on a large program?

Yes. We staff each engagement to its scope and timeline, and a senior architect leads it from the first meeting to launch.
