Two decades building serious data systems, now applied to private legal and property records.
30A AI is run by Stephen McDaniel, who wrote widely used analytics and data-visualization references and taught enterprise data teams how to turn messy records into defensible answers. That is the discipline a law firm or property operator needs before sensitive files touch any AI system.
You are not buying a chatbot. You are trusting someone with sensitive files and messy records.
Audit-grade mindset
Decades spent building forecasting and analytics where being wrong was expensive. That is the mindset you want behind a private document system, not a generic prompt wrapper.
Built for restricted data
Years teaching enterprise teams how to handle data warehouses and sensitive records. The work starts with access, provenance, and source citation, not flashy prompts.
Local and accountable
The same architect who designs your workflow supports the deployment. No anonymous remote queue. No handoff to a junior after the contract signs.
He wrote books other analysts learned from.

Pat Hanrahan placed The Accidental Analyst at the center of his 2012 Tableau Conference keynote and credited it with changing how he thought about analysis and how he restructured his teaching at Stanford.
That discipline now runs 30A AI.
