Bear Roots LLC · Established 2026

An AI and technical services firm, built for work that has to actually run.

We design, build, and maintain the systems organizations and households depend on — automation that removes repetitive work, research that answers real questions, and design that holds up in the field.

Capabilities

Built in-house, on infrastructure we operate.

We run our own stack rather than reselling someone else's subscription. That keeps ongoing costs honest, keeps your data where you can see it, and means the person who scoped the work is the one who builds it.

  • Scheduled and triggered jobs
  • Custom tooling and connectors

Web & Infrastructure

  • Custom WordPress development
  • Self-hosted deployment
  • Domains, DNS, and business email
  • Containerized services
  • Monitoring and maintenance

Research & Data

  • Procurement and grant databases
  • Competitive and market analysis
  • Structured reporting with sources
  • Data cleanup and migration

Design & Media

  • Brand systems and style guides
  • Print production and signage
  • Photo restoration and retouching
  • Image and video processing
  • Document and template systems
Engagement

Three ways to work with us.

Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins. Larger projects run as a deposit up front with the balance due on delivery.

Model 01

Advisory

Hourly consultation for organizations that have the capability in-house and need direction, a second opinion, or a plan they can execute themselves.

Model 02

Project

A defined build with fixed scope, fixed fee, and a delivery date. You receive the working system, documentation, and a walkthrough at handover.

Model 03

Retainer

Ongoing care for systems already in place — monitoring, updates, support, and a standing allocation of hours for changes as they come up.

How we work

No surprises, no open-ended invoices.

Consultation

A no-charge conversation, about thirty minutes. You describe where the time and money are going. If there is nothing here worth building, we say so.

Written scope

What gets built, what it costs to build, and what it costs to run — documented and agreed before work starts. No billable hours accrue until you approve it.

Build and handover

You receive the working system, documentation, and training. Accounts, domains, and data are registered in your name and stay that way.

Request a consultation

Tell us what needs solving.

Describe the situation in a few sentences. You will have a reply within one business day, and the first conversation carries no charge or obligation.

Unsure which practice area applies? Say so — determining that is part of the consultation.
