The infrastructure layer between you and everything you're trying to build.

Practical, durable AI infrastructure for the way you actually work. No reseller margin. No demoware that doesn't survive Monday morning. Just systems engineered around your operating reality - whether that's a mid-market business or one ambitious operator.

02 / Two Tracks

One firm. Two operating contexts - built differently for each.

A business and a person are not the same problem. A team needs throughput, governance, and shared rails. An individual needs leverage, focus, and a system that thinks the way they do. We build for each on its own terms.

● Track 01 · Operations

For your business

Automation, data pipelines, and AI workflows engineered around how your team actually moves work. We come in, watch the operation, and replace the parts that bleed time.

  • .01Workflow automationQuoting, intake, reporting, handoffs - the daily friction.
  • .02Data pipelines & integrationYour systems, talking to each other, with a memory.
  • .03AI workflows & copilotsTools your team will actually use after week two.
  • .04Governance & observabilityYou can see what the system did and why.
Engagement options → SMB · Mid-market
● Track 02 · Personal OS

For you, personally

A personal operating system - the structured AI infrastructure for how you work, think, and execute. We design it around your actual day, not someone else's productivity religion.

  • .01Daily operating systemInputs, queues, decisions, follow-through - one architecture.
  • .02Knowledge infrastructureCapture once. Retrieve forever. Build on top of it.
  • .03Thinking & writing systemsDrafts, decisions, and dialogue with your own archive.
  • .04Calm operating postureLess app-fatigue. More leverage. Quieter weeks.
Engagement options → Founders & high-output operators
03 / Field-tested

We don't pitch infrastructure. We operate on it.

Every pattern we ship - daily operating systems, knowledge pipelines, agentic workflows - runs in production for us first. These are the systems we built for ourselves and use every day.

In development
04 / How it works

Three phases. One throughline: systems that hold up.

No 90-page decks. No theatrical kickoffs. A short observation period, a build phase scoped to what's actually important, and a long tail of operating it with you so the thing keeps working when no one is watching.

01Discover

Observe before prescribing.

We sit alongside your operation - or your week - and map the real flow. Where time leaks, where decisions stall, where a system would change the math. No tool selection on day one.

Operator interviews & shadowing System & data inventory Friction map & opportunity brief
02Build

Scoped, durable, yours.

A focused build phase against a written spec. We pick boring, durable foundations - not the thing that was viral last week. You own the artifacts, the prompts, the data, the integrations.

Architecture & written spec Iterative builds with weekly demos Evals, fallbacks, observability
03Operate

Run it. Refine it. Hand it off.

Most AI projects fail in the third month. We stay through it. Adoption support, tuning, monitoring, and a clear off-ramp when your team is ready to drive without us in the passenger seat.

Adoption & team enablement Monthly tuning & review Documented handoff & runbooks
05 / Why Meridian

Built by operators, for the way work actually happens.

We are not a venture-backed platform. We are not a model reseller. We are a small, deliberate firm that builds AI infrastructure for clients we can sit across the table from.

Principal

David Erickson II

Founder · CMA

Fourteen years inside founder-led businesses - operations, turnaround, finance. CMA. Currently EVP at a multi-entity holding company. Meridian is the practice built from the toolset I use to run my own operation. I bring in trusted hourly help where it sharpens the build; the work stays accountable to one person.

.01

Operator-first lens.

Every system we ship has to survive a real Tuesday. We design for the person at the keyboard, the team at the standup, the founder at 6am - not a slide.

.02

Upstate SC roots, regional focus.

Headquartered in Travelers Rest with a working radius across the Upstate. We meet in person, we know your industry, and we are accountable to people who can find us at lunch.

.03

We use what we ship.

Every workflow, every personal OS pattern, every pipeline - we run versions of it ourselves, every day. If it doesn't work for us, it doesn't make it to your build.

.04

Durable over flashy.

We pick the boring foundation that will still be here in 18 months. Vendor-portable, well-documented, observable. Less ceremony, more compounding.

.05

Transparent engagement.

You will know what we are doing, what it costs, and what you own at the end. Three engagement shapes; no surprise invoices; clean off-ramps.

06 / Engagement Model

Three shapes. Pick the one that matches the problem.

No mystery pricing pages, no "contact for quote" theatre, no ten-page MSAs. Three transparent engagement structures, scoped to fit how your work actually arrives. We will tell you which one fits in the first conversation.

07 / Start a conversation

The first conversation is just a conversation.

Tell us a little about the operation, the person, or the problem. We'll come back within two business days with whether we are the right fit, and what a sensible first step looks like. No pitch deck. No pressure.
