MIKE RODGERS · FOUNDER, RODGERS INTELLIGENCE GROUP

Mike Rodgers works directly with clients from a Denver base. He scopes the problem with operators and executives, builds the first production path, and stays close to the build and the handover until your team can run it.

How Mike works

SCOPE BEFORE PROMISES.

The person who scopes the workflow stays close to the build and the handover.

01

Scope with operators

Mike maps the workflow with the people who run it: what happens now, who touches it, where it slips.

02

Agreed build boundary

A written scope: what is in, what is out, and which systems the work crosses.

03

Acceptance checks

What working means, written as checks and agreed before any build starts.

04

Handoff

Source, configuration and operating notes go to a named owner on your team.

How he builds

FOUR DELIVERY MODES

The right mechanism for the work, not one hammer for every job.

DETERMINISTIC CODE
For repeatable workCode with tests, not a prompt that drifts.
FOCUSED MODELS
For reading and classificationBounded model calls that sort, extract and label.
GOVERNED AGENTS
For multi-step workApproval boundaries, completion evidence, a reviewable record.
HUMAN-OWNED REASONING
For ambiguityJudgment stays with the people who own the outcome.
Questions

REAL QUESTIONS, PLAIN ANSWERS.

Does Mike do the work himself?

Yes. The person who scopes the workflow stays close to the build and the handover.

What does an engagement look like?

A diagnostic conversation, a written scope, acceptance checks agreed before the build, then a handoff to a named owner on your team.

Where is Mike based?

Denver, Colorado. Mike works directly with clients from a Denver base.

What does it cost?

The One-Workflow Review, and everything else on this site, is scoped and priced after a short conversation.

Next step

How we use outside tools

THREE TIERS. NEVER LABEL A PARTNER.

A formal partner requires a written agreement and references. We do not list any here. What is below is the working set our builds use today, separated into the running tier and the compatible tier.

Tier What it means Listed today
Formal partner A written partner or referral arrangement with a real firm, named with permission. On today: none. None. Adding a partner is a Gate-D approval that names the firm and the scope.
Tech we use A tool we hold an account for, run workloads on, or have shipped in a real RIG project. Listed without endorsement. Vercel (hosting + serverless), Stripe (test mode only), GitHub (private repos), a managed Postgres instance, an internal LiteLLM-style gateway on a fleet host.
Compatible A tool we are ready to build with on a client engagement, but have not shipped inside a RIG project. Supabase, Neon, Convex, Airtable for data, Clerk, Kinde for auth, Twilio Segment for messaging front-ends. We choose at project start, not before.

This page does not speak for any vendor listed. Names appear because they are the tools a buyer is likely to compare against, not because they have an arrangement with RIG.
