# DataOngoing.ai

> AI automation for private-equity portfolios, measured in basis points: a few hours of operating-partner time in, hundreds of engineering hours and margin out, delivered as working code in two-week sprints.

DataOngoing.ai is the AI automation consultancy of DataOngoing LLC for private-equity sponsors, operating partners and portfolio CFOs and CTOs. We turn a few hours of executive time into hundreds of hours of automated work and measurable basis points of EBITDA: 48-72 hour AI technology diligence, agentic close and consolidation into one set of books, and shop-floor devices and documents posting straight into the ledger. Every outcome is published in a 100x time ledger with its source class.

DataOngoing.ai is the AI automation consultancy of DataOngoing LLC. https://dataongoing.com is the NetSuite managed-services practice. Founder: Kyle Castor, Founder & Principal Architect (https://jkcastor.com), 13 years in enterprise systems. Contact: 2doai@dataongoing.com / (844)-991-3648.

Three numbers, never confused: 100x is executive time invested vs hours returned (the ledger). 10x is the fee guarantee. 10-50x is delivery speed vs the conventional baseline (the benchmark).

## The 100x time ledger

- [The 100x Time Ledger: Executive Hours In, Hours and Dollars Out](https://dataongoing.ai/100x-roi-ledger/): 100x ROI for time invested means that for every hour an operating partner, CFO or CTO puts into an engagement, the automation returns about one hundred hours of work or the equivalent margin over twelve months. 100x is the design target for every engagement. The ledger below shows measured rows between roughly 15x and 90x on time, one self-reported internal row near 80x, and projected rows above 100x. Every figure states its source class so it can be checked.

Automation | Executive hours in* | Returned over 12 months | Multiple on time | Source class
Month-end close pipeline: 8 hours to 15 minutes per close | ~6 | ~93 hours/yr; 32x faster per close cycle | ~15x | Founder track record, pre-DataOngoing
Transaction pre-processing and label automation: 200,000 to 30,000 transactions/month; 250,000+ labels/yr | ~8 | 720 hours/yr (60 hours/month recovered) | ~90x | Founder track record, pre-DataOngoing
Native banking integration replacing AP middleware | ~4 | $200,000/yr in middleware fees eliminated | Dollar return; see bps conversion | Founder track record, pre-DataOngoing
Automated dunning and milestone-triggered billing: overdue AR $6.5M to $1.4M | ~4 | $5.1M of liquidity returned (one-time) | Cash return, not time | Founder track record, pre-DataOngoing
Catalog and BOM schema consolidation (881 to 315 items) with a single-scan traceability workflow | ~10 | $280,000/yr in administrative and operational labor recovered; 100% lot traceability | Dollar return; see bps conversion | Measured, consulting engagement
Perishable FIFO lot allocation and profitability close: 14-hour spreadsheet close to a 20-minute automated run | ~6 | ~164 hours/yr (13.7 hours per close, 12 closes); 100% auditable lot-level reconciliation | ~27x | Measured, consulting engagement
AI document intake (OCR) pipeline posting into the ERP | ~5 | 2,881 documents processed to date; per-document manual time not yet published | Measured volume; hours pending | Measured, consulting engagement
Programmatic file organization: 367 files categorized | 0.05 (about 3 minutes) | 3.5-4 hours of manual sorting avoided per run | ~80x | Self-reported, internal
Sales-order Single Entry Point router replacing 42 script deployments | ~4 | 1,065 hours/yr recovered; $55,725/yr (at 2,500 saves/day, $30 loaded wage, $150 developer cost) | ~265x (projected) | Projected
Sales-order form latency: 44.02 hours of user wait in 25 days across 42 scripts | ~4 | 373 hours/yr recovered at an 84.8% latency reduction (measured baseline, projected recovery) | ~93x (projected) | Projected
Roll-up multiple expansion: 5.9x entry to 8.5x exit, +$28.5M on $11M EBITDA | n/a | Enterprise value, not hours | n/a | Modeled composite

Source classes: measured = Measured, consulting engagement; founder-role = Founder track record, pre-DataOngoing; self-reported = Self-reported, internal; projected = Projected; modeled = Modeled composite.

## Services

- [AI Automation Consulting for Private Equity Portfolios](https://dataongoing.ai/ai-automation-private-equity/): DataOngoing.ai is the AI automation consultancy for private-equity sponsors, operating partners and portfolio CFOs and CTOs. We take a process that costs a portfolio company hours every week, rebuild it with schema-governed agents and native ERP code in a fixed-price two-week sprint, and state the result in basis points of EBITDA margin. A few hours of executive time in returns hundreds of hours of automated work out, and every outcome is published in the 100x time ledger with its source class.
- [48-72 Hour AI Technology Diligence Read](https://dataongoing.ai/services/ai-technology-diligence-read/): A flat-fee, AI-driven technology diligence read on a NetSuite or ERP target in 48-72 hours, with a quantified risk matrix and a costed remediation plan. 100% of the fee is credited to downstream remediation. Your time: 2-3 hours: one access grant, one read-out. Turnaround: 48-72 hours from access. Price: $12,500 flat fee, 100% credited to remediation.
- [Two-Week Basis-Point Sprint](https://dataongoing.ai/services/basis-point-sprint/): A fixed-price, fourteen-day production sprint that removes one named margin leak or bottleneck in a portfolio company with working code and a schema-governed agent where one belongs. If it does not run in production, the milestone is not billed. Your time: 3-5 hours: scope sign-off, one mid-sprint review, acceptance. Turnaround: 14 days. Price: Fixed price, quoted after the diligence read.
- [One-Set-of-Books Close Automation](https://dataongoing.ai/services/close-and-consolidation-automation/): A fixed-scope 100-day program that consolidates acquired entities into one governed NetSuite OneWorld tenant with an agentic close: chart of accounts harmonization, automated intercompany eliminations and a consolidated period close compressed from roughly 21 business days to 3. Your time: 6-10 hours across the program: chart of accounts decisions and two reviews. Turnaround: 100 days. Price: Fixed scope, quoted after a one-week consolidation assessment.
- [Floor-to-Ledger Device and Document Automation](https://dataongoing.ai/services/document-intake-automation/): Edge devices and an AI document-intake (OCR) pipeline posting directly into the ledger, quoted per site: no re-keying, no per-user warehouse licenses, and documents processed by an agent instead of a clerk. Your time: 3-4 hours per site: floor walk and device list sign-off. Turnaround: 2-3 week sprint per site. Price: Quoted per site after a device and document audit.
- [Technology Due Diligence for Private Equity](https://dataongoing.ai/technology-due-diligence-private-equity/): DataOngoing performs technology due diligence on NetSuite and ERP targets in 48 to 72 hours rather than the conventional four to six weeks. We read the codebase, script deployments and role permission tables directly instead of interviewing stakeholders, then deliver a board-ready risk matrix with a dollar-quantified remediation cost before capital is wired. Basis-point lever: Avoided discount at close.
- [Financial Statement Consolidation in NetSuite](https://dataongoing.ai/financial-statement-consolidation-netsuite/): DataOngoing consolidates acquired entities into a single NetSuite OneWorld tenant so a portfolio company reports from one governed set of books. We harmonize the chart of accounts, automate intercompany eliminations, and compress the consolidated period close from roughly 21 business days to 3, which is what makes the financials defensible at exit. Basis-point lever: Close speed and working capital.
- [Print, Scan and Weigh Consolidation Across a Portfolio](https://dataongoing.ai/print-scan-weigh-consolidation/): DataOngoing unifies the physical device layer across acquired sites: printers and MFP fleets, barcode and RFID scanners, and bench, floor and forklift scales all post directly into a single NetSuite instance. Operators stop re-keying weights and labels, print queues stop crashing, and the portfolio stops paying for warehouse software it does not need. Basis-point lever: Labor and freight basis points.
- [The 100X Speed Advantage: How We Work, and the Arithmetic Behind It](https://dataongoing.ai/how-we-work-10-50x/): DataOngoing delivers AI automation, diligence and consolidation work 10 to 50 times faster than conventional consulting because we run AI-driven static analysis against the actual codebase and metadata instead of weeks of stakeholder interviews, staff every engagement with principal architects only, and ship working code in fixed-price two-week sprints. Speed is what makes 100x on your time possible: a few hours of operating-partner input returns hundreds of hours of automated work, and every row of that claim is published in the 100x ledger.
