What We Do

Two critical moments. One focus.

We work with companies at inflection points—either facing collapse or growing too fast to control. Different problems, same operational discipline.

Crisis Response

Crisis Stabilization

When you're facing existential threats—regulatory action, structural collapse, or operational breakdown—we stop the bleeding and restore stability.

What this includes:

Regulatory crisis management
Operational breakdown recovery
Critical system failure response
Multi-stakeholder coordination
Emergency infrastructure rebuild
Leadership restructuring
Vendor/partner preservation
Business continuity planning

Typical scenarios: Regulatory investigations, system failures, infrastructure collapse, leadership gaps, multi-market breakdown

Growth Phase

Scale Architecture

When you're scaling faster than your infrastructure can handle—systems breaking, processes failing, teams overwhelmed—we build foundations for sustainable growth.

What this includes:

Hypergrowth infrastructure design
Multi-market expansion frameworks
Process automation at scale
Operating model transformation
Performance optimization (10x→100x)
Team structure & hiring frameworks
Vendor/tech stack architecture
Operational playbook development

Typical scenarios: Post-funding scale, rapid deployment, infrastructure stress at volume, team capacity limits, M&A integration

Sectors

Deep expertise in high-stakes environments.

We specialize in industries where timelines are tight, stakes are high, and conventional approaches fail.

01

Defense Technology

Autonomous platform operations, hardware-software integration at scale, rapid deployment infrastructure. Sensitive contexts requiring discretion.

02

AI & Autonomous Systems

Edge AI deployments, ML ops at scale, secure model deployment, air-gapped architectures. High-assurance systems for demanding environments.

03

Fintech & Payments

Payment infrastructure, transaction systems at scale, regulatory compliance, banking partner relationships. Built for 10x stress events.

04

Regulated Markets

Healthcare, energy, critical infrastructure under regulatory pressure. Complex, time-sensitive interventions with multi-stakeholder coordination.

05

Critical Infrastructure

Secure operations in sensitive environments. Systems where failure is not an option and discretion is expected.

Engagement Model

Focused. Time-bound. Outcome-driven.

We don't do open-ended consulting. Every engagement has clear scope, defined timeline, and measurable outcomes.

01

Rapid Assessment

48-72 hours to understand the real problem—not the symptoms. Root causes and critical paths before action.

02

Execute & Stabilize

Hands-on implementation alongside your team. We deliver working systems and measurable progress, not presentations.

03

Transfer & Exit

Knowledge transfer and operational handover. Your team owns everything. We exit when you're self-sufficient—typically 90-180 days.

Outcomes, not presentations.

Defense Technology

Autonomous Systems — Deployment Infrastructure

A defense technology company scaling autonomous platform operations needed to accelerate deployment velocity while maintaining security posture across distributed environments.

Results

4x deployment velocity improvement
Secure architecture implementation
Operational playbooks for distributed teams
CI/CD pipeline optimization

Fintech

Global Operator — Infrastructure Transformation

A global fintech operator was constrained by legacy infrastructure—slow, outdated, and unable to support growth. They needed to migrate to modern systems while accelerating market expansion.

Results

5x increase in product launch velocity
8-figure revenue increase across 9 markets
Full infrastructure migration in under 12 months
Industry-leading speed to market

AI / ML Infrastructure

AI Platform — Scale Operations

An AI company experiencing explosive growth faced infrastructure collapse—deployment pipelines breaking, compute costs exploding, teams overwhelmed by operational complexity.

Results

70% reduction in deployment cycle time
Compute cost optimization at scale
Secure deployment capability
Operational playbooks for engineering teams

About INC3

INC3 is an operational practice for high-stakes environments.

We work with leadership teams in defense technology, autonomous systems, and critical infrastructure. Crisis stabilization or hypergrowth transitions. Time-bound, outcome-focused engagements where discretion matters.

Since 2011, we've worked with defense industrial base organizations and high-growth technology companies navigating complex operational transitions. Scaling infrastructure, navigating regulatory environments, restructuring under time pressure.

We take 2 engagements per year. We operate embedded with your team—making decisions, building systems, solving problems in real-time. When the engagement ends, your team owns everything we've built.
