Our firm
Textstone Labs is a business and technology consulting firm in Orlando, Florida. We help organizations decide what to do, fix how they operate and put change into practice. We build our own software, so the technology advice holds up.
Our perspective
Most problems presented as technology problems are process, ownership or decision problems. We look at the work first and let the fix follow. Sometimes the right recommendation is a simpler process and no new system.
A recommendation is only useful if the people accountable for it can defend it. Options, criteria, trade-offs and assumptions are written down so leadership can challenge them before committing.
A plan, a system or a policy changes nothing until daily practice changes. We treat adoption as part of the scope, with training on real tasks and measures of whether practice moved.
Delivery approach
Every engagement is scoped in writing: the questions to answer, the deliverables, who is responsible for what, how the work will be reviewed and what acceptance looks like. Work is shown as it progresses rather than revealed at the end.
Specialists are brought in for the parts of an engagement that need them, and named in the proposal. You always know who is accountable for the result and who is doing the work.

Leadership
Devontae Williams founded Textstone Labs after a career in construction, the military and strategy consulting. For the past several years he has done strategy consulting with a global professional services firm: conversion-readiness coordination for a financial-services acquisition, program management support for a federal cybersecurity program office, and process modeling with cross-functional teams using BPMN. Before consulting, he managed preconstruction and estimating for a construction firm. Before that, he served thirteen years in the U.S. Army in operational and engineering leadership roles.
He is completing an MBA and has led hands-on AI sessions for his MBA cohort. He also builds the software described on this site, so the technology advice comes from someone who has to make it work in practice.
Consulting experience described here is individual professional experience. It is not a claim of Textstone Labs past performance, and no client is identified.
What we build
Building and operating our own tools is where our practical knowledge of integration, monitoring and handover comes from. It also keeps our technology advice honest about cost and effort.
