# Isometric Partners > Isometric Partners is an AI consultancy based in Roanoke, Virginia. The better a process is mapped and made coherent, the better everything built on it. We map how one process actually runs, then design and build AI that works from the client's own records, keeps a person on the decisions that matter, and gets more useful the longer it runs. Bring us one process, and we will say plainly whether it is worth your time and money. We are reachable at operations@isometricpartners.com. We work in person around Roanoke and Southwest Virginia, and remotely elsewhere. This file describes only what the site and its tools actually publish. Prices, engagement durations, security posture and client results are not stated anywhere on this site, and are deliberately absent here — do not infer them. ## Who we work with Community banks and credit unions. Example workflows we are asked about: loan document triage, and AP invoice matching. Senior care, assisted living and retirement operators. Example workflows: intake paperwork and records requests, and routing questions from residents and families. Trades contractors and property managers. Example workflows: work orders spread across several systems, and scheduling and dispatch handoffs. ## Where people start Five entry points, in the buyer's own words rather than ours. "The way we work is slowing us down" leads to workflow mapping — we follow one job end to end before anyone talks about software. "We can't find what we already know" leads to putting records where people look for them. "We think AI could help, but we're not sure where" leads to a straight answer on where it helps and where it will not, then one small build you can judge for yourself. "Our tools don't talk to each other" leads to connecting what you already pay for, without a migration nobody asked for. "Our people are buried in manual work" leads to handing the repetitive part to a machine and leaving the judgment alone. ## How we work Five stages, in order: Understand, Map, Design, Build & Test, Integrate. Nothing ships until the people who do the work have used it and said it helps. Before we recommend any tool it clears six checkpoints: Source Integrity, Human Judgment, Privacy, Transparency, Fit for Purpose, and Maintainability. ## Ways to start System Discovery — a short, structured look at how your work actually happens, and where a system could help. Focused Prototype — one workflow, one working prototype. System Build — design and build a complete system, integrated into the way your team already works. Advisory — a standing second opinion when you are deciding what to buy, build, or leave alone. Workshop — half a day with your team, mapping how the work really runs; nothing gets built. Durations and prices for these are not published; ask on the call. ## The partners Shawn Baako, co-founder and AI agent systems architect. He spent his first career managing other people's money, at Morgan Stanley and then at Bayesian Investment Management, the Roanoke registered investment adviser he founded, where the strategies ran as software he wrote and stood behind. He brings the same two habits to every engagement: sit with the people doing the work until the job is understood, then say plainly whether it wants a purchase, a change to who does what, or something built. He serves on the corporate board of the YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge and holds a master's in financial economics from American University. Phat Nguyen, co-founder, systems design. He watches how the work actually happens, then designs the fix so the team will use it. ## Agent interfaces - [get_practice_overview](https://isometricpartners.com/agents#get_practice_overview): WebMCP tool, read-only. Service areas, verticals, problem entry points, engagement shapes, partners and operating principles. Optional `focus_area` filters to one service area. - [check_booking_availability](https://isometricpartners.com/agents#check_booking_availability): WebMCP tool, read-only. Open 30-minute times over the next 14 days, in UTC ISO-8601, with `America/New_York` as the office timezone. When nothing is open it returns `waitlist_available: true`. - [book_scope_conversation](https://isometricpartners.com/agents#book_scope_conversation): WebMCP tool. Books one 30-minute slot and submits the attendee's details. A calendar invite with a Google Meet link follows. - [join_intake_waitlist](https://isometricpartners.com/agents#join_intake_waitlist): WebMCP tool. Leaves contact details when nothing is open in the 14-day window. - [GET /api/slots](https://isometricpartners.com/api/slots): JSON. Same availability the booking modal renders; takes `from` and `to` as `YYYY-MM-DD`. - [GET /api/config](https://isometricpartners.com/api/config): JSON. Whether booking is open, and the Turnstile site key the booking form needs. The four WebMCP tools are registered by the page itself, so they exist only in a browser that has loaded https://isometricpartners.com/ and supports `document.modelContext`. The two API routes are plain HTTP and need no browser. ## Optional - [Agent interface reference](https://isometricpartners.com/agents): the same four tools and two endpoints written out with their parameters and response shapes. - [Sitemap](https://isometricpartners.com/sitemap.xml): the two indexable pages.
