Independent diagnostics for production AI
Blocked teams rarely have a problem they can't solve. They have one they can't see.
UnblockedOps is an independent diagnostic practice for teams running AI on Kubernetes. I find the cost and security blockers hiding between your prototype and production, then hand the fix to your team to run. Like an inspector, I diagnose. I don't sell you the repair. That independence means the only thing I'm selling is clarity.
What I do
A focused, thorough diagnostic that uncovers why you're stuck and hands your engineers a plan tailored to the schedule and resources you actually have, with a number and an owner on every fix. It starts with a free First Look and ends with a plan that's yours to keep.
The full picture, the wall, the offer, and who it's for, is on the Diagnostic page.
Why I only diagnose
A capable team can fix almost anything it can see clearly, so the work I do is helping your team see what they couldn't, not fixing it for them. I stay on that side of the line on purpose. I earn nothing from the repair, so the only thing I'm selling is clarity. It's the same reason you trust an inspector who doesn't also do the renovation.
That doesn't mean I hand over the plan and vanish. For a set window after the Diagnostic, I'm on call to help your team get the plan in motion.
Who I am
UnblockedOps is run by Clayton Lemons, twenty years chasing hidden problems from kernel drivers to the GPU clusters where AI runs in production today. More about Clayton →
