AI Operations · Run in Production First

AI That Runs Businesses.

Not Decks.

Troy runs his own software company with zero employees — 130+ AI systems do the work. Zon Spark installs that same operations layer inside ecommerce brands, and underwrites what a business becomes for the people acquiring one.

The Gap

Most businesses are experimenting with AI.
A few are running on it.

The difference isn’t the tools — it’s the operator. Troy has built and operated entire businesses solo using AI as the operating system, from concept to revenue to scale.

The same systems he recommends are the ones he runs his own operations on. StackEasy — a live SaaS product — is built entirely on the same AI infrastructure he deploys for clients. The consulting and the product aren’t separate. One proves the other.

How It Works

Audit. Install. Operate.

No strategy decks. No 90-day roadmaps before anything ships. Every engagement starts by putting dollars on the problem.

Step 01

Audit

One to two weeks inside your operation. You get the top five manual loops with dollars per month attached, an automation design for each, and the build order. The fee is credited to your first install.

1–2 weeks → dollars attached
Step 02

Install

The highest-leverage system from the audit, built in production with documentation and handoff. Fixed scope, fixed price, no hourly billing. Enterprise pilots scope from the audit findings.

Fixed price → you own it
Step 03

Operate

Optional and earned, never required: monitoring, self-healing, compliance upkeep, and one new automation every month. Your systems page us before they page you. Then on to the next layer.

From $2,500/mo → systems that watch themselves
The Operator

Troy Johnston

Troy has built and exited multiple businesses — an e-commerce brand and Seller.Tools, an Amazon seller SaaS, both multi-million dollar exits. He then spent four years as M&A Advisor at Carbon6, evaluating and acquiring software companies at roughly one per month.

That track record — operator, builder, acquirer, exited founder — is what makes the difference. The same systems thinking he applied across hundreds of acquisition evaluations now shapes how he architects AI for operators — and how he underwrites what a business becomes for acquirers.

Today he runs StackEasy — a credit intelligence platform — on 130+ automated systems, built and operated entirely solo. It’s not a case study. It’s the live proof of what the right AI infrastructure actually produces. Every system he recommends, he runs first.

The Fit

Built for operators,
not experimenters.

Zon Spark works with a small number of clients at any given time. That’s intentional. Every engagement gets Troy’s direct attention — not a junior delivery team.

✓  This is for you if
  • You run an ecommerce brand on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or DTC — or an agency or SaaS — with proven traction
  • You’re acquiring digital businesses and want to know what you’re really buying before you wire
  • You want AI embedded in your operations, not explained in a deck
  • You’re making decisions at a pace where weeks matter, not quarters
  • You understand that building real systems has a real cost worth paying
  • You want to talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager
–  Probably not a fit if
  • You’re still exploring whether AI is relevant for your business
  • You’re looking for a low-cost audit or a quick wins checklist
  • You need a 200-page strategy document to justify next steps internally
  • You want a large agency with 20 people on the account
  • You want someone to run a store for you — we automate your business, we never operate one for you

One conversation.
Real direction.

Thirty minutes. No pitch deck, no discovery-call script. You leave with a straight answer, including “you do not need me yet” if that is the truth.
