Services is the new software.
Become AI-native across every department.
AI can now do the work, not just power the tools. I help companies rebuild how each department actually delivers - so you ship outcomes, AI-native, not just adopt another tool. Fractional and hands-on, by Sigmaschool’s founder, Deric Yee.
Across your org
Fractional, hands-on, and delivered by Deric himself - see what that looks like at dericyee.com/work-with-me. No pitch, no commitment - just a conversation about what AI-native could look like for you.
Meet Deric
You’re working with the founder, not a sales team.
Deric Yee founded Sigmaschool and has spent years building and shipping AI-native software - the site you’re on, the quizzes, the games, the internal tools. He’s now taking on a small number of fractional engagements to bring that same AI-native build craft into established services businesses.
It’s hands-on and personal: you get Deric in the room, figuring out where AI can genuinely do the work in your service - then building it.

Services is the new software.
And it’s coming for every services business - including yours.
For two decades, software sold the tools to run a business. AI flips that: software can now do the work itself - selling the outcome, not the seat. And the prize is enormous. The global market for services and labour is measured in the tens of trillions, dwarfing software’s hundreds of billions.
“Software sold the tools. AI sells the work.”
It’s already happening across legal, accounting, customer support, recruiting, marketing, design and back-office ops - services being rebuilt so AI does the heavy lifting. For an established firm that’s both the threat and the opening: go AI-native yourself, or watch a faster, AI-native challenger do it to your market.
Where we fit
We’re the build partner, not the know-it-all.
We’re not going to walk in claiming we understand your industry better than you. Here’s the honest split of who brings what.
You bring the domain. We don’t pretend to.
We’re not experts in your field - you are. Twenty years of hard-won judgement about your clients and your craft stays yours. We’re not here to replace it.
We bring AI-native engineering.
Agents, LLMs, automations, full-stack apps - built and shipped, not slideware. It’s what we train people to do and what we build every day.
We’re exploring this too - so let’s learn together.
This is new ground for everyone. We’d rather partner honestly and figure it out with you than oversell a playbook nobody has yet. Partner, vendor, or a small pilot - your call.
A first step
Small, real, and low-commitment.
No giant transformation programme. We start by shipping one thing.
A chat
Tell us where the work piles up - the repetitive, expensive, human-heavy parts of delivering your service.
Map it
Together we find where AI can actually do the work in your service - not where it just looks impressive in a demo.
Prototype one workflow
We build an AI-native version of a single, real workflow. Small, shippable, measurable. No big bang.
If it works, build it for real
Roll it out together. Partner or vendor, whatever structure fits - we stay flexible because we’re still learning too.
Ready to make your service AI-native?
Tell Deric about your business and where the work piles up, and he’ll be honest about what AI can actually do for it. Fractional, hands-on, and figured out together. No pressure either way.
- You keep your clients and your brand
- Partner, vendor, or a small pilot - your call
- A real conversation between partners, not a sales script
