Shandra Cohen — Co-Founder
I specialise in turning complex, high‑risk systems into clear, build‑ready logic that decision‑makers, developers, and operators can actually use. My background spans construction, utilities (electricity and water), public policy, and data‑driven systems, where I have worked extensively in data modelling, process definition, and governance‑grade documentation. I translate fragmented information — technical, operational, regulatory, or strategic — into structured workflows, measurable metrics, and defensible outcomes. I am currently focused on AI‑enabled product and process design, including defining MVP logic, workflows, and scope boundaries before significant capital is committed to development. My work typically sits before engineering, ensuring the right problem is being solved and that complexity is reduced rather than amplified. Recent work includes: * Defining end‑to‑end AI workflow logic and task intelligence for a construction SaaS platform. * Authoring governance and policy documentation for state‑level organisations. * Translating domain expertise into structured data models and decision‑ready artefacts across multiple industries I am available for a small number of paid, fixed‑scope engagements, including: * MVP logic and build‑ready documentation * AI and data workflow definition * Complex documentation requiring executive or board approval Process and metric design in regulated environments I value clarity, precision, and contained outcomes. If you are working with complexity that needs to be made usable, feel free to reach out. Currently available for a small number of paid, fixed‑scope engagements.
