Two practitioners.
No handoffs.
We kept seeing the same thing: AI investment without clear P&L connection. Consultants who deliver decks, not systems. Teams excited about technology but stuck on where to start. We left to build something different.
Our Story
Built from frustration.
Justin and Kellan spent a combined 17+ years at P3 Adaptive building data, AI, and operational solutions for mid-market companies. Different skill sets, same observation: most AI consulting was broken.
Companies were spending six figures on assessments that produced strategy decks nobody executed. Pilots launched with fanfare and died quietly. The gap between AI hype and actual business results kept growing.
So we started Tiny Bottle AI. The name says it all. You don't need an ocean of AI. You need a concentrated dose in exactly the right place. Big results from small, focused moves.
Justin Mannhardt
Co-Founder & Principal
7+ years building data and AI solutions for mid-market companies at P3 Adaptive. Deep expertise in Power BI, DAX, and the bridge between business strategy and technical implementation.
Justin sees what most consultants miss: the connection between a company's data infrastructure and its P&L. He builds solutions that make that connection explicit and measurable.
Kellan Danielson
Co-Founder & Principal
10+ years designing systems that make businesses work. Finance, operations, technology, process. At P3 Adaptive, Kellan led engagements that connected the dots between how companies operate and how they grow.
Kellan brings the operational lens. He knows that the best AI solution is worthless if it doesn't fit how people actually work. Adoption is a design problem, not a training problem.
What We Believe
AI should serve the P&L
Not the other way around. If it doesn't connect to a number your board cares about, it doesn't matter how impressive the demo is.
Start with the business
The best AI strategy starts with understanding the business, not the technology. Your P&L tells us where to look. Your operations tell us what's possible.
Adoption is a design problem
Not a training problem. If people don't use it, you built the wrong thing. We design for operational reality, not org chart theory.
Ship fast, measure everything
Iterate with purpose. A working prototype in two weeks teaches you more than a strategy deck in two months.
Let's talk.
No pitch deck. No discovery questionnaire. Just a conversation about your business and where AI might move your numbers.
