CASE STUDIES
Proof, not promises.
Client engagements and platform builds from the Blackfrog bench. We mark what’s measured versus what’s identified, we don’t post until the work is real, and we don’t name names unless the client opts in.

/ FROM THE PLATFORM BENCH
Products we’ve built and run ourselves — same discipline, different rooms. Every one keeps the expert in charge.
RestaurantIQ
A weekly profitability analyst for restaurants: 43,501 real orders analyzed in a live pilot, ~$1,900/mo of pricing opportunity identified — every number traceable to the query behind it.
Footprint
A local business’s whole digital footprint — and every competitor’s — audited and scored automatically every week, with a human reviewing every finding.
Literature synthesis
~16,500 scientific abstracts turned into fully cited answers in about thirty seconds — zero uncited claims allowed, the researcher stays the validator.
Client studies are anonymized at each firm’s request. Platform metrics are from production systems we operate.
The next case study could be your numbers.
Bring something you already know the answer to — a priced bid, a completed job, last month’s numbers. The first conversation is the Mirror Test: the platform has to hand you back your own truth before you trust it with anything new. Measured, not projected.
Practical AI for small and mid-sized business. Working products, verified numbers, and your experts in charge of every decision.
