Nucleus — The Intelligence Layer for Your Business

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.

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

Always Watching

Connected to everything you already use. QuickBooks, your CRM, Google Business, Amazon, Shopify, your website, your reviews, your ads. Nucleus pipes all of it into one living model of your business — no rip-and-replace, no new software to learn.

Always Thinking

Nucleus 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 flags exactly what needs attention — before it costs you money.

Always Accountable

A real human owns your outcome. Software without accountability is just a dashboard. Every Nucleus client gets a Zanoma advisor who owns the outcome — walks the brief with you monthly, and picks up the phone when it matters.

Open your phone.
Know the three things that matter today.

Every morning at 7 a.m., Nucleus sends your Daily Brief — to Slack, email, or SMS. The top three moves, the top three risks, the top three numbers. Nothing else.

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.

Your competitors ran three new campaigns last month.
Do you know what they said?

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

Ad creative changes

We see new Meta and Google ads the day they launch, TikTok within 48 hours.

Review sentiment shifts

When a competitor's rating moves, you know why before their next customer does.

Ranking and content moves

Keyword wins and losses, tracked daily across your local market.

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 Read Tier. Ten to fourteen days for Act Tier. We do the integration work — you approve the connections.
Perfect. Nucleus connects to all of them. We don't replace your tools — we replace the layer above them.
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.
Yes. 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.
You do. Every Nucleus client is assigned a named Zanoma advisor who owns the outcome alongside you. Kevin Keranen, founder, reviews every onboarding personally.
No. Act tier lets you pick your bundle — Front Desk, Review Responder, Bookkeeper, or Listing Manager. Start with one. Add others when you're ready. The Daily Brief runs regardless of which agents you activate.
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.
