Saskatchewan (SK), Canada
AI development for Saskatoon teams, on your working day
Vancouver, British Columbia is where the work gets done, and Saskatoon is one of the markets it gets done for. Nobody from this shop sits in Saskatoon. The 6-hour daily overlap is what makes that a detail rather than a problem.

6 hours of your day, every working day
Saskatoon runs 2 hours ahead of Vancouver. On a normal working day the two calendars overlap from 09:00 to 15:00 Vancouver time, which is 11:00 to 17:00 where you are.
With a window like that, most decisions never become documents. We review together, we cut scope together, and the written record exists for the archive rather than as the only channel.
The parts that still get written down are written down anyway: acceptance criteria, the decision log, and what changed in each weekly increment. A shared clock is not an excuse for an undocumented project.
What Saskatoon buyers usually bring us
The record for Saskatoon lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
mining
Geological reports, drill data and plant telemetry describe the same orebody in three formats, and the product is what makes them agree.
We ship something narrow early and widen it, because scope found in production costs less than scope argued about in a document.

agricultural technology
Field telemetry arrives sparse and noisy. The model is the small half; gap handling and an alert threshold you can defend in front of a grower is the rest.
The eval harness gets built beside the first feature, so week three can prove that week two did not quietly make the output worse.

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.
The commercial part stays deliberately boring. Fixed acceptance criteria per increment, weekly shipping, and a written record of every decision. Nothing about working from Vancouver instead of Saskatoon changes what you are buying.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Saskatoon 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.
