AI Consulting & Systems Architecture

AI That Builds Businesses.

Not Decks.

Most consultants recommend tools. Troy runs 130+ live automations in his own operations — and builds the same infrastructure for operators who are done theorizing and ready to move.

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.

Operator. No agency.
No team. No junior delivery. Just AI doing the work.
The Work

Four disciplines.
One outcome.

A business that runs smarter, scales leaner, and stops depending on headcount to grow.

Workflow Automation

Your team is doing work that shouldn’t require a human. Troy replaces those manual loops with AI-powered workflows that run 24/7 — so your people focus on what actually moves the needle.

Immediate ROI
🏗

Systems Architecture

Your operations run on people, not infrastructure. Troy maps your critical paths end-to-end and rebuilds them with AI at the core — so growth stops meaning your next hire.

Built to Scale
🤖

AI Stack Integration

Your tools don’t talk to each other. The gaps between them lose leads, eat hours, and slow decisions. Troy wires them together with AI logic so data flows automatically.

In Production
📈

Business Optimization

You’ve built something real — but somewhere between revenue and operations there are leaks you can’t see yet. Troy finds them, closes them, and builds the visibility that makes the gains compound.

Data-Driven
How It Works

Three steps. Live systems.

No strategy decks. No 90-day roadmaps before anything ships. Troy moves fast and builds directly in production.

Step 01

Discovery Call

We dig into where your business is bleeding time and money. Where growth stalls. Where the manual work is hiding. No pitch. No agenda except understanding your operation.

30 minutes → honest assessment
Step 02

Strategy & Scope

Troy maps the highest-leverage AI interventions for your specific situation. You get a clear picture of what gets built, what it produces, and what it costs — before any commitment.

No surprises → clear outcomes
Step 03

Build & Deploy

Troy builds it. Tests it. Hands you a live system with clean documentation so your people know exactly how to use it. You own the asset. Then on to the next layer.

Delivered in production → you own it
The Operator

Troy Johnston

Troy has built and exited businesses three times — 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 clients.

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 a digital-first business — ecommerce brand, agency, or solo operator — with proven traction
  • 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

One conversation.
Real direction.

30 minutes. No pitch. No agenda. Just an honest look at where your business is and what AI can actually do for it.
