Champlin Enterprises · AI Engineering for Mid-Market Businesses
Find the three places
AI pays for itself
in your business.
Free 30-minute audit. One-page plan emailed within 48 hours. For mid-market businesses ($10M–$200M) who want AI to actually work — not another slide deck.
A 30-minute call. A one-page plan. No pitch deck. No follow-up sales sequence.
What we engineer
Four things, done at the
same standard.
Custom software, mobile apps, headless WordPress, and SaaS platforms. Same senior engineer on every line of code. No template work, no offshore handoffs, no agency markup.
Custom Software
Internal tools, customer portals, data-driven applications. Built for the businesses that know their process better than any vendor ever will.
More on custom softwareMobile Apps
Native iOS and Android, or Kotlin Multiplatform for shared logic. One codebase, two app stores, zero compromise on feel.
More on mobile appsHeadless WordPress
Your team keeps the WordPress editor they already know. Your visitors get a custom-engineered frontend on the same stack we ship for Fortune 500. By design.
See how we build websitesSaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant from day one. Auth, billing, admin tooling — the operational plumbing that turns a tool into a business you can run.
More on saas platformsWhat we fix
The problems we're built for.
If one of these sounds like your Monday morning, we're probably a fit.
AI · Production
Your AI pilot works in staging. It's not surviving production.
Hallucinations, latency, cost overruns, or inconsistent outputs. You need someone who has shipped real LLM systems — not another demo.
Team · Bottleneck
Your engineering team is bottlenecked, and the deadline isn't moving.
You need a senior engineer alongside your team — fast — to unblock the critical path without onboarding a whole vendor.
Legacy · Modernization
You inherited a codebase and need a credible path forward.
Architecture review, migration plan, and costed options — in writing, by someone who has rebuilt this kind of system before.
Scale · Rebuild
Your platform can't handle the next 10x.
Database bottlenecks, service boundaries, and infrastructure costs that stop scaling with revenue. Senior-level judgment on what to rewrite and what to keep.
M&A · Diligence
You need technical due diligence on an acquisition target — fast.
Code audit, security review, and architectural assessment. Written report suitable for the investment committee. Typical turnaround: one to three weeks.
Prototype · Ship
You have a working prototype. You need it production-ready.
Security, observability, auth, payments, and the hundred details between a working demo and a product real customers will pay for.
A recent ship
Replaced a $40,000/year enterprise PM stack in twelve weeks.
One engineer. One codebase. Built as our own SaaS at zenpm.work — same stack and standards we'd ship for you.

Start here
A Sprint is how most businesses start.
One problem. One engineer. One ship date. A working prototype, a migration unblock, or a technical audit with an action plan you can execute on Monday.
Most businesses don't need a six-month build. They need one thing shipped, shipped right, this month. That's a Sprint.
Beyond the Sprint: Build engagements typically $40K–$250K. Fractional engineering retainers quoted individually. Full pricing and engagement types on the Services page.

How this works
Four steps. No surprises.
01 · Apply
Tell us what's broken.
One form. Real budget, real problem, real timeline. We review every application within five business days. If it's not a fit, we say so on the same email.
02 · Conversation
Thirty minutes with the engineer.
Not a discovery call. Not a sales pitch. You talk directly to the person who would write the code. If we're the right fit, you'll know by the end of the call.
03 · Scope
One page. Fixed price.
No 40-page statement of work. One page: the outcome, the timeline, the price. You sign it or you don't. If the work changes, we rescope together.
04 · Ship
Code in production.
You get working software on the promised date. You own it completely — no proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in. We stick around as long as you want us. No longer.
About
28 Years.
One Standard.
A software engineering consultancy that ships. Custom applications, AI-first products, and mobile apps for a small number of operators who can tell the difference.
About Champlin Enterprises
Fit
Who this is actually for.
You, if
- You're an operator or senior leader with a real P&L on the line
- You want to work directly with the engineer writing the code
- You've been burned by an agency that disappeared behind an account manager
- You want AI used as leverage, not as a marketing talking point
- Your budget starts at $10K and scales with the outcome you need
Not you, if
- You're shopping on price or collecting three quotes
- You want a WordPress theme install or a five-page brochure site
- You need a team of junior devs to churn through a backlog
- You're looking for a free audit or a discovery-call sales pitch
- You want a vendor you can manage — we're a partner, not a vendor
Three seats. Every quarter.
A real problem. A real budget. A bias toward shipping. If that's you — the door is open. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly, on the same email.
