What we install
Three outcomes. They compound.
Most engagements start with one. By month three, the systems are reinforcing each other — and the business is operating at a level it couldn't reach by hiring alone.
We bring the operating discipline and AI-native systems that used to be reserved for nine-figure companies into small and mid-sized businesses — installed, integrated, and running.
Founded by Peter Lewis — twenty-five years building enterprise platforms at Verisk and UKG, now operating a 5,000 sq ft franchise in Massachusetts that runs on agentic AI he designed himself.
Peter at IMAGE Studios Sharon — the small business that runs on the systems Cadence installs.
Most engagements start with one. By month three, the systems are reinforcing each other — and the business is operating at a level it couldn't reach by hiring alone.
We've installed the same operating model across very different businesses. The mechanics are different per industry. The outcome is the same.
A 5,000 sq ft multi-tenant facility supporting more than thirty independent professionals — running on agentic AI Peter built and operates personally. Built for one location; the architecture supports multi-tenancy.
Read the case →Cadence Advisers is taking on a small number of engagements in 2026. Cases will be published as outcomes earn the right to be cited.
We don't take cases for portfolio purposes. We take them because we think we can produce a defensible result — and we publish only when the result holds.
Cadence Advisers was founded by Peter Lewis, who spent twenty-five years at Verisk and UKG building and running enterprise technology platforms — including AIR Cloud, an eight-figure SaaS business he conceived and launched from zero. In 2024, he turned the same systems thinking on a small business: a 5,000 sq ft multi-tenant location in Sharon, Massachusetts, running on agentic AI he designed himself.
The firm exists to close the gap between what enterprise companies have access to and what small businesses do — now that AI has made the gap closeable.
