Thinks
Cross-T is starting work…
Example on a made-up company, Cactus Wren Builders. Nothing is real or sent.
Hands you
Its work lands here, for you to approve.
Learns from your feedback. Never trains on your data.
1 · What we solve
The answers are scattered.
Email, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, shared drives. Each holds part of the picture, nobody sees all of it, and the things that fall between them cost you money.
What we do: connect what you already use, read-only, and let Varde compare it every week. You get the misses, with the dollar value and the fix.

Everything we solve
Six problems, one private system.
The owner is the bottleneck
Ask your business anything. Get the answer with the source attached.
Records nobody can find
One private, searchable view across email, drives, advisors and entities. Your files stay in your own Microsoft 365. Varde is just the smart front door.
Late money, missed follow-ups
Your 7 am list: who to chase, what is overdue, what needs you today.
Company data in personal AI
Staff paste files into their own AI accounts. Give them a private one instead.
Work done, never billed
Lab tests, change orders, extra hours. We match what was done against what was billed.
Mistakes in quotes
Every quote checked against the customer’s drawings and specs before it goes out.
2 · What it costs you
What is it costing you?
Move the sliders to match your business. It takes ten seconds.
Hours lost looking for answers
Your estimate, in your browser. The starting values are round numbers, not a benchmark.
Leaking every year
$45,000
1,000 hours a year spent looking for answers
And the costs that never show up on a report:
- Invoices past 30 days that nobody chased
- Work done and never billed
- Company files pasted into personal AI accounts

Real system, sample company. Nothing you do here leaves your browser.
And it stays private.
Free or paid, a personal AI account is not your company’s. Varde runs in your own environment, and nothing goes to public AI tools.

What people paste in
A personal AI account
Free or paid, signed up by the employee
- No agreement between your company and the AI service
- Settings decide if it is kept or used for training
- Your company cannot see what was shared
- Leaves with the employee when they leave
Illustration. Paying for a personal plan does not make it your company’s. What an AI service does with data depends on the plan and its settings.

About
Officer at heart. Technology development by profession.
I've lived in the Valley for 8 years. Before that I served as a Norwegian Army officer alongside US forces, and since then I've worked in logistics, tech development and cybersecurity. Pine Hill and VardeTM are how I give back to the businesses here.
Born in Norway, where cairns mark the way across the mountains. Varde remembers your business, learns from your feedback, never trains on your data, and stays yours.
You work with me directly.

Book a coffee
The first stone is a conversation.
This fall I'm giving 10 Valley owners a free working session. Bring one headache, like quotes, billing or paperwork, and leave with a straight answer on whether AI can take it off your plate. No pitch and no strings. In Fountain Hills, anywhere in the Valley, or by video.
