Accepting new engagements

Three ways to work
with Luddan Services

AI-augmented consulting, the Nexum home platform, and rapid prototyping — delivered by a one-person firm that moves at machine speed.


01
AI-Augmented
Consulting

I deploy custom Claude AI agent fleets into your existing workflows — finding where hours disappear, automating the repeatable parts, and measuring the documented time and cost savings. You keep the upside; I take a share of what I prove.

  • Workflow analysis: where time and money actually go
  • Custom agent fleet scoped to your specific problem
  • Local-first deployment — your data stays on your hardware
  • 6-month measurement window with shared savings upside
  • You own the deliverables; I retain the methodology
  • No fabricated ROI figures — measurements or nothing

Pricing model
$75 / hr + 15% savings share
Hybrid: hourly floor covers discovery and delivery time. 15% of documented, measurable savings over the 6-month window. Project-based flat rates available for defined scope. Contact for a discovery call.

How an engagement works

  1. 1 Discovery call (free) — 30 min. I ask where your team spends time. You describe the pain; I identify the automation surface.
  2. 2 SOW + NDA signed — scope, timeline, success metrics, and the background-IP / foreground-IP partition defined up front.
  3. 3 Delivery — agent fleet built, deployed, and tested on your environment. No cloud dependency required.
  4. 4 Measurement window — 6 months of tracked baseline vs. post-automation. Savings calculated from real data.
  5. 5 Close-out — you keep the deliverables and runbooks. I take 15% of proved savings.

02
Nexum
Home Platform

Nexum is a private, local-first home super-app — a single browser tab that controls every smart device in your home, surfaces your personal feeds, and runs an on-device AI assistant. No subscription. No cloud account. No data leaving your building.

  • Runs on a small server on your LAN (Raspberry Pi, mini PC, or NUC)
  • Multi-user — each family member logs in with their own account
  • Per-user dashboard: clock, weather, calendar, email, news, stocks
  • Full home device control panel with real-time status
  • On-device AI (Ollama) — no Anthropic API key required for daily use
  • HTTPS by default, LAN-only — not exposed to the internet

Rapid Prototyping
& 3D Parts

Parametric design and FDM printing for functional parts, brackets, mounts, enclosures, and prototypes. Every design goes through an analytical stress screen before printing. Every physical deliverable carries a brand block and print ID for traceability.

  • Parametric generators — change a dimension, not a whole drawing
  • FEA-lite pre-screen: yield-strength check before first print
  • Multi-color AMS prints: white, black, red, blue PLA
  • Build volume: up to 256 × 256 × 256 mm
  • Print ID + brand block on every deliverable for traceability
  • Iteration-ready: designs version-controlled, re-printable on demand
  • Defense-aware: NDAA-2026 compliance understood; non-DoD printer disclosed

Materials & lead times

  • PLA — general purpose, stiff, excellent detail. 1–3 day lead.
  • PETG — moisture-resistant, flexible, good for enclosures. 1–3 day lead.
  • ASA — UV-stable, outdoor-rated, automotive-grade. 2–4 day lead.
  • Multi-color (AMS): up to 4 colors per print, no extra lead time.
  • Expedited available — contact to discuss.
