# IQ Source — AI Consulting & Enterprise Software Development

> For a more detailed version of this document, see https://www.iqsource.ai/llms-full.txt

> IQ Source is a B2B technology consultancy based in Costa Rica, founded in 1999. We specialize in AI agent operations, enterprise software development, and digital transformation for companies in Latin America, the United States, and globally.

## What We Do

IQ Source operates at the intersection of AI consulting and software engineering. Our core differentiator is the AI Maestro program: we do process archaeology on real business workflows, deploy AI agents with controlled autonomy and calibrated risk thresholds, and operate them in production until the client's team takes over.

We also serve as a technology partner for specialized software companies (industrial automation, XR/AR, IoT, vertical SaaS) that need complementary capabilities — backend, web, mobile, enterprise architecture — delivered white-label under their brand.

## Core Services

### AI Maestro Program
Deployment and operation of AI agents in real business processes. Three-stage engagement: Process Archaeology + Advisory (delivers Process Reality Map, AI Opportunity Score, Agent Blueprint), Implementation & Deployment, and ongoing AI Maestro Residence with monthly health checks.

### IQ RFP — Public Tender Intelligence
Tender intelligence for Latin American public procurement. We ingest each state's open contracting data (Open Contracting Data Standard), run semantic classification over the technical description of every tendered item against a specific catalog, and cross demand in one country against supply available in another. Two sides are served: manufacturers and distributors that hold product but have no channel in the buying country, and local bidders already registered with the state who lack representation of the product being requested. Charged as a commission on the award actually won, with no entry fee and no subscription. Page: https://www.iqsource.ai/iq-rfp/

### Technology Partner for Software Companies
White-label development partnership for niche software companies. We fill capability gaps in backend, web, mobile, and enterprise architecture so they can deliver to their own clients without building a new internal team.

### Fractional CTO
On-demand executive technology leadership for startups and growing companies. Includes AI agent operations strategy, vendor oversight, and technology roadmap.

### Enterprise Software Development
Custom web applications, mobile apps, APIs, enterprise integrations, dashboards, legacy modernization. Tech stack: Next.js, React, Astro, Flutter, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Vercel, Google Cloud.

### AI & Machine Learning
Predictive analytics, intelligent automation, AI-powered business process optimization. Integration of Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs into enterprise workflows.

### SEO & AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
Search engine optimization plus AI answer engine optimization. We create structured content with schema markup and FAQ so both Google and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI) surface our clients' information.

### Digital Marketing
Full-stack digital marketing: strategy, automation, growth, SEO/AEO, data-driven optimization.
