We don't do "everything, everywhere." We do 12 platforms, better than anyone.
Most agencies list 60 logos on their capability slide and are mediocre at all of them. We picked the 12 platforms that actually move the needle for 7–8 figure DTC brands, hired operators who've run each one in-house, and layered AI on top of it.
- Opinionated stack. We recommend the tools that win — even if they're not the ones you're on.
- Every platform owned by an operator who's shipped in it, not a slide-deck expert.
- AI leverage across all of them — one workflow, not twelve.
A letter to the operator reading this at 11pm
Dear stack architect,
You've been sold a lot of software. Most of it half-implemented. Most of it duplicative. Most of it billing you monthly for a feature you turned off in month two.
The problem isn't your tools. The problem is that nobody on your current team has the depth on every platform to make them work as one system.
This page is the stack we've bet the agency on. If your tools aren't on it, that's a conversation worth having.
Your tech stack has stopped being an asset.
- You're paying for tools whose best features you're not using.
- Klaviyo, Meta, and your subscription app all disagree about your revenue.
- Nobody on your team could pass a certification exam on the tools they own.
- You keep adding tools instead of getting deeper on the ones you have.
- Every new SaaS trial is another 'we'll figure this out in Q2.'
Every 8-figure brand we've ever audited has the same story: they bought the right tools, hired the right people, and still couldn't get the stack to sing. Because nobody was running it as one system.
The winners in DTC aren't on more tools. They're on fewer, deeper. They know Klaviyo the way an engineer knows their IDE. They run Meta with the fluency of a market-maker. They treat Shopify Plus as an operating system, not a shopping cart.
That fluency doesn't come from a certification. It comes from running the tools for 5–10 years across dozens of brands. That's what our team is.
Depth beats breadth. Always. The right 12 platforms, run correctly, will outperform 40 platforms managed by generalists.
Introducing
The Opinionated Stack
Twelve platforms across four layers. Each layer owned by senior operators. All connected through one AI-orchestrated workflow.
Commerce Layer
Shopify Plus, Hydrogen/Remix headless, Recharge, Skio, Bold. Storefront, subscriptions, bundles, B2B — all reconciled to one source of truth.
Acquisition Layer
Meta, TikTok, Google (Search + Shopping + PMax), YouTube, and paid social measurement via Northbeam or TripleWhale. Attribution that survives iOS updates.
Retention Layer
Klaviyo or Attentive as the core CRM, layered with review platforms (Junip/Okendo), loyalty (Yotpo/Smile), and post-purchase (Malomo/Wonderment). All talking to each other.
Intelligence Layer
Custom AI agents on top of the stack. Segment builders, campaign generators, support agents, dev copilots. Your team's leverage lives here.
The numbers don't argue.
"They killed six SaaS tools we didn't know we had and made the ones we kept 3× more useful. Our stack is finally a weapon, not a tax."
What we operate on your behalf.
- Shopify Plus — Liquid, checkout extensibility, Functions, Flow

- AI orchestration across the stack
- Reconciled reporting from one source
- Stack cost goes DOWN, not up
- 'Certified' in 40 things, expert in none
- Agnostic — recommend whatever you already bought
- Manual reporting, spreadsheets everywhere
- Numbers that never quite tie out
- Every quarter, another SaaS to try
"But what about…"
"We're on BigCommerce / WooCommerce / Salesforce."
Then we're probably not the right fit for the commerce layer — and we'll tell you that on the call. Our depth is Shopify Plus. We won't pretend otherwise.
"We just switched to a new email tool."
Fine. We'll operate what you're on. If it's not the right tool for your business, we'll say so — with math, not opinions — and let you decide.
"Can you integrate with our custom internal tools?"
Yes. Our engineering pod builds custom apps and integrations as part of the retainer. Anything with an API, we can plug in.
"Won't consolidation lock us in?"
Every platform in our stack is portable. Klaviyo → Attentive, Recharge → Skio, Shopify → Shopify: we've done every migration. No vendor lock-in tricks.
THE OFFER
Free Stack Audit — every tool, every dollar, every leak.
We inventory every SaaS invoice, every integration, every unused feature. You get back a written map showing what to keep, kill, consolidate, and rebuild — plus an honest projected savings number. Most audits find $3–15k/month of wasted SaaS in the first hour.
- Full SaaS spend audit
- Feature-utilization scorecard per platform
- Data-reconciliation diagnostic (Shopify vs. Meta vs. Klaviyo)
- Recommended consolidations with expected savings
- 90-day stack roadmap you can execute with anyone
Your stack is either compounding your growth or quietly capping it. There is no third option.
One audit tells you which. And the audit is free.

Deep, not broad
P.S. Most 7-figure brands have $50k–$150k/year of SaaS they can kill in the first 30 days. That's a hire, a media budget, or a runway extension you didn't know you had.
