About

BottleneckLabs.ai builds custom AI systems for mid-market professional-services firms: contract review, proposal drafting, document search, quality documentation. Ara Mamourian founded it and is the only person named anywhere on the site. Engagements run six weeks on a flat fee, and the firm states a $12,000 to $100,000 range fixed after a written scoping plan the client reviews first. Five engagement write-ups carry before and after figures, but no client is named in any of them and the returns are the firm's own estimates. The blog is current, with dated posts from December 2025 through May 2026 that show cost models and scoping decisions. The firm also runs three products of its own.
