Human scale, enterprise scope

Change the system, not the symptom.

If you want systems that work for humans, you have to design systems for humans.

Cognisint designs human-scale solutions to enterprise-size challenges powered by innovative, intelligent, ethical tech.

We are building intelligent workflows powered by ethics-first AI, privacy by design, and a focus on user satisfaction, retention, and sustainability.

Cognisint designs ethical tech infrastructure that reduces burnout instead of amplifying it.

Core Concepts

Full workflows for in-house teams, government, and nonprofits—reducing manual review, surfacing what matters, and keeping legal operations coherent and humane.

Ethical AI

Hallucinations, errors, or just plain old lies–no matter what you call AI fabrications, they're not just annoying; they create real dangers for you and your stakeholders. Our ethically-centered tools are designed to minimize risk and deliver a better AI experience no matter what model you use.

Privacy-First Architecture

Least-privilege access, auditable MCP infrastructure, and data boundaries that match real-world legal, regulatory, and organizational requirements.

Modular Platform

Experience

Built by someone who knows.

Right now, Cognisint is a one-person technology solutions studio with a legal and public-sector focus, leveraging lessons from more than two decades in law to develop practical solutions—software, workflows, and policy frameworks—not just bullet points on a resume.

Its products and patterns are active R&D: real code, real experiments, and real playbooks that can be brought into client work wherever there is a shared vision and values.

Bespoke Consulting Engagements

Every organization faces unique challenges. Instead of a one-size-fits-us fee schedule and billing for time in 12-minute increments (no matter how wisely or productively the time is used) Cognisint uses tailored engagement modes—from a single focused project to an ongoing advisory relationship. Pricing is structured to match your scope, timeline, and goals.

Project-Based
Defined scope, clear deliverables. Ideal for specific challenges like workflow design, policy development, or technology assessment.
Hourly Advisory
Flexible, on-demand guidance for questions as they arise. Perfect for ongoing strategic input without long-term commitment.
Retained Consulting
Ongoing partnership with dedicated availability. Best for organizations seeking sustained transformation and continuous improvement.
Deliverable-Based
Priced per specific output—reports, assessments, training materials, or custom tool development.

Let's Design Your Engagement

Every engagement begins with a complimentary discovery conversation to understand your challenges, goals, and constraints. From there, we'll propose a structure and scope that makes sense for you.
