AI development for Hamilton teams, inside your afternoon
We are in Vancouver, British Columbia. You are in Hamilton. Nobody from this shop is, and nobody pretends to be. The two working days touch for 5 hours, and that window is spent on decisions rather than on status.
- base
- vancouver, bc, canada (UTC-08:00)
- market
- Hamilton, Canada
- your clock
- UTC-05:00 (America/Toronto)
- overlap
- 5 hours a day, 09:00-14:00 in Vancouver
- presence
- remote only, no office in Hamilton
What fits in a 5-hour window
The overlap is real and it is bounded. Hamilton sits 3 hours ahead of Vancouver, so the shared part of the day runs 09:00 to 14:00 our time and 12:00 to 17:00 yours.
A partial overlap punishes projects that run on meetings and rewards ones that run on written acceptance criteria. We build for the second kind, which is how we would run it anyway.
What moves to writing is not a downgrade. A daily handoff note at the end of the Vancouver day, decisions logged when they are made, and review on the pull request itself means your morning starts with the answer rather than with a meeting invitation.
What Hamilton buyers usually bring us
The record for Hamilton lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
steel
Heat records, quality certificates and process documentation answer the recurring questions, once they are indexed by heat and by grade.
The golden-question set is the deliverable nobody thinks to ask for, and it is the only way to show that a change helped.
Closest service line: Knowledge bases and retrieval
health care
Clinical and administrative documents demand citation and access control at retrieval time, not a disclaimer at the bottom of the answer.
Recall gets measured before anybody comments on the wording, because a fluent answer drawn from the wrong passage is the worst outcome on offer.

Contracts, currency and where the data sits
This is a domestic engagement. Invoices are in Canadian dollars, the contract is Canadian, and nothing crosses a border on the way to you or on the way back.
Everything else is the same as it would be for a client down the street from us: scope, a thin slice in week one, then weekly increments you can stop at any time. The distance changes the schedule, not the contract.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Hamilton included. Most engagements are one of them, sometimes two.
- AI products, built end to end
- Knowledge bases and retrieval
- Codebase and team optimization
- Training and enablement
- Forward-deployed engineering
The languages, models and infrastructure underneath all five are listed on the Magic Ship stack page, with what each one is good for and where it is the wrong choice.
Other markets in Canada
Each one has its own page, its own overlap arithmetic and its own industries.
