Every business has leaks. We find yours in 15 minutes.

Nucleus is the always-on brain for your company — built on frontier AI, connected to every tool you already use. It watches your revenue, your reviews, your competitors, and your numbers. Then it tells you exactly what to fix, every morning.

What it is

It's not another tool.
It's the operating system your business has been missing.

01 / Always Watching

Connected to everything you already use.

QuickBooks, your CRM, Google Business, Stripe, Meta and Google Ads, your reviews, your inbox. Nucleus pipes all of it into one living model of your business. No rip-and-replace. Auth once, flow forever.

02 / Always Thinking

Reasons across your entire business every morning.

It reads your numbers, reviews, competitors, ops, ads, and finances. Then it scores your business across six dimensions and ranks the top moves by dollar impact, confidence, and how fast the opportunity decays.

03 / Always Learning

Measures the outcome of every action you take.

Tag a move as acted on, noted, or noise, and Nucleus measures what happened. By week two it knows your judgment. The Briefs get sharper week over week — not generic, not static, not another dashboard.

A current client said it best

"We were losing leads every single weekend. Now our AI picks up every call, books the appointment, and sends a confirmation — all before I even see the notification. It paid for itself in the first week."
— Marcus T., Owner, Regional HVAC Company

Six dimensions

Every business runs on six universal dimensions.
Nucleus scores yours every morning.

No business escapes them. The scores aren't vanity metrics — each one rolls up findings from your actual data into a 0–100 score with a one-line rationale.

Acquisition

Lead flow, channel mix, cost per acquisition, conversion velocity, attribution health.

Retention

Repeat rate, LTV trend, churn signals, time-to-second-purchase, win-back response.

Operations

Capacity utilization, SLA adherence, throughput, no-shows, schedule efficiency.

Finance

Cash position, AR aging, margin trend, variance vs. plan, runway, anomaly flags.

Reputation

Review velocity, rating trajectory, response latency, local discovery rankings.

Compliance

Licenses, insurance, contracts, regulatory deadlines, audit-ready status.

How Nucleus turns your business into an operating system.

Six layers, built in this order. Every client's stack lives inside the same Nucleus architecture.

01

Ingestion

Connect every tool you use in under a week. Auth once, flow forever.

02

Normalization

Your chaos, mapped to one clean model of your business. One schema, everything in one place.

03

Scoring

Six universal dimensions: Acquisition, Retention, Operations, Finance, Reputation, Compliance.

04

Benchmarks

Your numbers vs. the median business in your vertical. Anonymous. Always current.

05

Playbooks

Codified industry judgment. "If X happens, trigger Y." Proven playbooks from years of agency work made operational.

06

Accountability

A human advisor walks the brief with you every month. The layer software can't replace.

Competitive intelligence

Your competitor launched three new ads last month.
You'll see them while they're still new.

Nucleus monitors your top competitors across ads, reviews, rankings, and content — and flags moves while they're still actionable, not three weeks old in a quarterly report.

Ad creative changes

New Meta and Google ads the day they launch. TikTok within 48 hours. With creative, copy, and offer captured.

Review sentiment shifts

When a competitor's rating moves, you know why before their next customer does — and what they're doing about it.

Ranking and content moves

Keyword wins and losses tracked daily across your local market. New landing pages, new offers, new categories.

Two ways to put AI to work in your business.

Brain first. Workforce next. One human advisor either way.

Answers to the questions every SMB asks first.

No. Nucleus is a six-layer architecture — ingestion, normalization, scoring, benchmarks, playbooks, and a human advisor who owns your outcome. It's connected to your real tools, scored on your real data, and benchmarked against your vertical peers. ChatGPT doesn't know what a healthy med spa looks like. Nucleus does.
Seven days for Nucleus. We do the integration work — you approve the connections. No surprise API calls, no vendor surprises.
Perfect. Nucleus connects to all of them. We don't replace your tools — we replace the layer above them. Think of it as the operating system for your business stack.
You own your data. CSV/JSON export delivered within 7 days of cancellation. That said, clients stay because switching means re-plumbing 20+ integrations and losing 18 months of benchmarks.
Enterprise-grade AI infrastructure, SOC 2 compliant, tenant isolation by default. Your data is never used to train any AI model — not ours, not anyone's. We've built Nucleus to be paranoid about your business.
You do. Every Nucleus client is assigned a named Zanoma advisor who owns the outcome alongside you. Kevin Keranen, founder, reviews every onboarding personally.
Nucleus runs on universal business dimensions — Acquisition, Retention, Operations, Finance, Reputation, Compliance. Every business has all six. If your vertical isn't listed, book a call and we'll tell you in 15 minutes whether Nucleus fits.
