Messy data and AI, sorted.
We clean up spreadsheets, turn PDFs into Excel, and set up AI for teams. The price is fixed before any work starts, and every delivery comes with a change log, so you can see exactly what we did.

AI setup for teams
We set up AI for your team in Claude, ChatGPT or the assistant you already use: shared workspaces, custom assistants for the tasks you repeat, your tools connected, one automation or internal tool, a training call and a written playbook. Each assistant gets the background, the tools and the rules its task needs, and nothing more.
from US$300
We also build dashboards and self-updating reports in Excel or Google Sheets. They cost US$400 to US$1,500, and we quote the exact price once we know what you need.
How it works
Five steps. You know the price before we start any work.
- 1
Send a sample
Email a sample of your file, or describe your setup. A few rows are enough. Leave out anything sensitive.
- 2
Get a fixed price
We reply with a fixed price and a delivery date before any work starts.
- 3
We do the work
We work on copies only, so your original files are never changed. We use AI to work fast.
- 4
It is checked before it reaches you
We check the numbers against your original files, and then an experienced professional reviews the delivery.
- 5
You get new files and a change log
You also get a short list of questions about anything in your data that could mean two different things. The price includes one round of your answers: you answer our questions once, and we update the files at no extra charge.
Nothing is guessed.
When something in your data could mean two different things, we keep what your file says and send you a short list of questions. The price includes one round of your answers: you answer our questions once, and we update the files at no extra charge.
Merging two records that disagree, reading a date that could be day first or month first, filling a blank, deleting a row: each of these changes what your data means. We flag these cases and ask you. You decide.
We ask. You decide.

Questions people ask first
What does “AI-assisted, human-verified” mean?
We use AI to work fast, and an experienced professional reviews every delivery before it goes to you. Before that review, we check the numbers against your original files: the rows that came in against the rows that went out, and the totals before and after.
What happens when my data is unclear?
We do not guess. When something in your data could mean two different things, we keep what your file says and send you a short list of questions. The price includes one round of your answers: you answer our questions once, and we update the files at no extra charge.
How fast is it?
Small cleanup jobs can be done in as little as 24 hours when our schedule allows. Standard delivery is 2 to 4 days for data jobs and 3 to 10 days for AI setup, depending on the tier. Your quote states the delivery date before any work starts.
What do you need from me to quote?
A sample of your file, or a description of your setup. A few rows are enough to see the problem. You get a fixed price and a delivery date before any work starts.
What happens to my files?
We use your files only for your job, and we delete them within 30 days of your approval of the delivery. If you send a sample and do not go ahead, we delete it within 30 days of our quote. We work on copies and deliver new files, so your originals are never changed.
Is there anything I should not send?
Yes. We do not take files with government ID numbers, full payment card numbers, health records or passwords. If your file has any of these, take them out first. Bank details that are part of your documents, such as statements and invoices, are fine. So are card numbers that show only the last four digits. We keep them confidential, like the rest of your data.
What if something is wrong with the delivery?
If we made a mistake, or the delivery does not match what we agreed, we fix it at no charge. If you ask for something new, we give you a fixed price for it first, and we start only when you agree.
Who do you work with?
Businesses of any size, including one-person businesses and the self-employed. We do not take on work for personal use.
Who is behind NorthSort?
NorthSort is a Canadian company. Its founder has over 15 years in business and construction management, built the estimating and job-costing systems those businesses ran on, and has started several software companies. An experienced professional reviews every delivery before it goes to a client.
