Plan of a typical small business, showing what can be installed in each room.

  • Sales: quotes are prepared from your templates and go out the same day.
  • Accounting: invoices are entered as they arrive and payment reminders go out on the right date.
  • Management: the weekly report builds itself from your existing tools.
  • Stockroom: purchase orders and delivery notes are read and matched with no re-keying.
  • Meeting room: your teams are trained on their own files, in one or two days.

The diagnostic, Monday through Friday

€2,500, fixed price

  1. Monday and Tuesday

    Immersion

    I observe your processes role by role, with the people who run them.

  2. Wednesday

    Findings

    You approve

    The first gains, identified and quantified. You can adjust the scope.

  3. Thursday

    Roadmap

    Priorities, costs, expected returns and technical prerequisites.

  4. Friday

    Decision

    You decide

    An actionable plan you can carry out with me or without me.

The week before, we agree on the scope in writing and I get the access I need.

What a small business wants from AI is time back.

  • Quotes that go out the same day.
  • Follow-ups that no longer get forgotten.
  • Reports that build themselves.

The tools are within reach of any company. What is usually missing is someone to connect them to your actual files and stay until your teams use them every day.

That is what Cinq. does. The same work I have done for large corporations, scaled to the size and budget of a small business.

Selected work

Systems I have worked on, at a startup or on consulting engagements. Each one is documented on baptistebouault.com, with its status, its timeline and how every figure was measured.

  • Analytics platform for a national retail network

    30 out of 30figures recomputed independently, matching after correction

    A 2.6 GB sales file goes in; the network analysis, 36-month simulations and written interpretations come out. The figures are computed by deterministic engines, and the model only puts them into words.

  • Audit of a legacy scoring engine

    304 teststo reproduce every score to the hundredth

    Resilience scores had dropped with no explanation. The three successive versions of the engine were rebuilt to the hundredth before looking for the cause, which was found and reported with a governance note.

    Measuring what generative engines answer when asked about a sector, without prompting them with the brand. First real audit run on May 29, 2026 for a national retailer, with the report validated on June 1.

Portrait of Baptiste Bouault

Baptiste Bouault

AI engineer, founder of Cinq.

You work with me from the first call to go-live, with no sales intermediary and no subcontracting.

I am the CTO of an artificial intelligence company. Before that, I spent six months consulting for large French corporations and co-founded a healthtech startup that reached 2,500 paying users in three months.

I studied at ESSEC, majoring in Data & AI, and at UC Berkeley. Cinq. is how I make this expertise available to small and midsize businesses. I work across France, on site or remotely.

Your data

What happens to the documents and system access you entrust to me, from the first conversation to the end of the engagement.

  • Confidentiality is in the contract

    The terms of sale cover everything you share, from data and processes to system access and documents, for five years after the engagement ends. I sign your NDA or mine on request, at no extra cost.

  • What goes where, in writing

    Your data stays on your own systems or on GDPR-compliant services. Before anything is automated, the diagnostic sets out in writing which data goes through which service.

  • Encrypted storage, restricted access

    The documents and access you entrust to me are stored on Google Drive, encrypted at rest and in transit, protected by two-factor authentication and restricted to my account.

  • Nothing shared outside your project

    Your information is never discussed with other clients or used in my marketing without your written consent. If you would rather the engagement not appear among my references, just ask in writing at kickoff.

  • Deletion at the end of the engagement

    On request, all documents and data are deleted at the end of the engagement. Only the records the law requires are kept, such as invoices for ten years.

  • The deliverables are yours

    Once the final payment is made, the diagnostic, automations and tools produced belong to you. I keep no right to use them without your written consent.

These commitments in full, in French: privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Why “Cinq.”?

Cinq means five in French. Everything starts with a diagnostic of five business days, Monday through Friday. Every engagement that follows has a start date and an end date, set before work begins.

Why a fixed price rather than billing by the hour?

Because the risk should sit with me. A fixed price makes me scope the work carefully before starting, and you decide on a final figure rather than an estimate.

We have no technical skills in-house. Is that a problem?

No, that is the case for most small businesses. Systems are delivered with training for your teams and written documentation. The goal is for you to run them on your own.

Which tools do you use?

The ones that fit your case and your budget. Usually, off-the-shelf language models connected to your existing tools, with custom development where it is justified. Cinq. has no commercial agreement with any software vendor.

Where do we start?

With a free thirty-minute call. If a diagnostic does not make sense for you, I will tell you, and you will come away with two or three concrete ideas.

Tell me what takes up your time.

A free thirty-minute call is enough to see whether a diagnostic makes sense for your company. I reply to emails within one business day.
