FIELD ELEVATE · ABOUT
We build the operating layer between what a business knows and what it does.
Field Elevate is a hands-on AI team for growing businesses, based in Durham, North Carolina. We study one job, build the better route into the tools you already use, and stay until the numbers move.
Most growing businesses don't have an AI problem. They have a carrying problem — skilled people moving information between systems, checking what rules could check, rebuilding what machines could assemble.
We sit inside one real job, learn how it actually runs, and build the system that carries its routine steps. One accountable team, in-house, from discovery through production — measured on the same job, before and after.
// WHAT WE HOLD TO
Five rules. Kept on every job.
One job at a time
Scope is a discipline. We frame one decision and finish it.
The people keep the judgment
Human authorization at every consequential step. Always.
Measured, not marketed
Same job, before and after. If the numbers don't move, we say so.
Built by the people who mapped it
No handoffs, no outsourcing, no telephone game.
You keep the map
Even if we never build together, the discovery work is yours.
// THE TEAM
Small team. Deep bench of shipped systems.
FOUNDER / CEO
Michael "Dusty" Field
Frames the work. Sits with the people who do the job, names the decision it depends on, and owns the engagement end to end.
FIELD NOTE: WILL ASK TO WATCH THE BAD TUESDAY VERSION.
CTO
Sagar Prasad
Builds the system. Typed tools, policy gates, evaluations, traces — the discipline that makes the pilot survive production.
FIELD NOTE: TRUSTS NOTHING WITHOUT AN EVAL.
DIRECTOR OF SENIOR LIVING SOLUTIONS
Keira Duffy
Leads the senior living work. Sits with owners and operators, names the decisions that shape community performance, and connects them to the workflows a system has to carry.
FIELD NOTE: TRAINED IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY. WATCHES HOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORK.
HEAD OF RETRIEVAL
Lucy Field
Runs the most dependable retrieval pipeline on the team. Any ball, stick, or dropped snack comes back with sub-second latency and perfect recall. Attends every stand-up from beneath a desk.
FIELD NOTE: WORKS EXCLUSIVELY FOR TREATS. HAS NEVER NEEDED THE ASK REPEATED.
BASE
