Automation with the evidence left in · Sacramento and Northern California
Most AI implementations fail. We will not sell you one of those.
We research the hours first. If nothing is worth building, we say so and you pay nothing. If one workflow clears the bar, we define the success gate and the human exception path before code or money changes hands.

Proof you can inspect
Two live products. Two observable problems.
This is the public evidence roster. Both products publish a dataset and methodology so the headlines can be challenged.

Fictional example · not a client result
See the output standard before sharing an email.
The construction example separates observed facts from assumptions, shows low/likely/high ranges, names the limitations, and recommends one bounded pilot with a pass/fail gate.
Shared planning model
- 48 working weeks per year
- $35 loaded hourly cost
- Capacity value, not guaranteed cash savings
- Exceptions and judgment stay with a person
How it works
Five steps. One measurable decision.
This is the same process described on our full process page and in the assessment itself.
- 01
Research before we talk
We study your operation, hiring, and tools to identify where repetitive work is consuming measurable time.
- 02
A free, specific assessment
You receive a private assessment link with observed facts, explicit assumptions, opportunity ranges, and limitations.
- 03
Review it without a call
Read the evidence on your own time. If the opportunity is too small or automation is the wrong answer, we say so.
- 04
Scope one bounded pilot
If you want to proceed, a 30-minute working session sets the success gate, human review path, fixed scope, and price.
- 05
Deploy, test, and hand off
We integrate one workflow, test it on real output, document the exceptions, and measure it against the agreed gate.
The house rule
Automation is not always the answer. We will tell you when it is not.
Who you work with
You work directly with the person who builds it.
John Arndt
Founder, Soxoa
Every engagement starts with real research. You get a complete picture of where your team is losing time, a system built to fix the worst of it, and support until it is actually working. No decks. No theory.
Checkable, today
What we can actually show you today
No client logos and no case studies, because there is nothing we can publish that you could verify. Here is what you can check instead.
Two products running in public
MentionedOn and Intakra are live, and each publishes its dataset and methodology so the headline numbers can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Inspect the products and their evidenceThe output, before you are a customer
The assessment format is published in full as fictional worked examples: observed facts separated from assumptions, ranges rather than promises, and the limitations named.

Where John Arndt worked before Soxoa: twelve years deploying technology inside those companies. This is employment history, not a customer list.
A registered California company
Soxoa LLC was registered with the California Secretary of State on April 2, 2025, and operates as a service-area business out of Sacramento, CA.
Free assessment
See what we find before you talk to anyone.
Share your company, website, and email. We return a private assessment with sources, assumptions, ranges, and one recommended pilot. No call is required to read it.
We do not run third-party marketing analytics on this form or the public site.
Straight answers
The claims, with the hedge up front.
Is the assessment a sales call?
No. The form requests the research. We email a private assessment link when it is ready, usually within 24 hours. A call is optional after you have read it.
Are the examples client case studies?
No. The public examples are fictional planning models. They show the evidence standard, assumptions, ranges, and pilot gates we use; they are not claims about real companies.
What if automation is not worth it?
Then that is the recommendation. Automation is not always the answer, and we will tell you when the hours or risk do not justify a build.
What does a build cost?
The assessment is free. Fixed-scope Quick-Win Builds start at $5,000 only after the workflow, success gate, and exception path are clear.
