Systems Consultancy

Careful systems work, done out loud.

Hekswerk is a one-person systems consultancy. The work is always the same shape: take a complex situation, map what depends on what, build something durable, and hand you documentation you own. It currently runs in three rooms: automation builds, relocation planning, and AI verification & research.

Published methodology Clear scope boundaries Privacy-first handling

One craft, three rooms.

Each service stands on its own, with its own scope and pricing. What they share is the method: mapping, dependencies, durable structure, and handoff.

AI Verification & Research

I check AI work for a living, including my own.

LLM evaluation, dataset quality assurance, and evaluation-harness review for AI quality-assurance platforms, the working anchor of the practice. Behind it sits a self-funded research program with its methods published in the open.

Relocation Systems Planning

A move this big deserves a plan that can hold all of it.

Structured planning for Americans making complex moves to Europe, mapping the whole move so nothing falls through the gaps between your specialists. Currently in a founding-cohort beta; formal launch in 2027.

Quickstart Automation

One workflow, built well.

Fixed-scope, privacy-first automation builds for small businesses and independent professionals. One scoped workflow per engagement, delivered with documentation, walkthrough recordings, and full credential handoff. From $750.

Ask about an automation build

Start with the shape of the problem.

The front door is intentionally plain: tell me what is going on, choose the engagement that fits, and we build from there.

01

Tell me what's going on.

An intake for relocation, an email for automation or verification work. Plain language is enough; messy is fine.

02

Choose the right scope.

Every engagement is fixed-scope with visible pricing before it begins. If it's not a fit, I'll say so honestly.

03

Leave with artifacts.

The work produces written deliverables you keep and own: maps, timelines, documentation, working systems.

You can read how I think before you ever pay me.

I publish my methodology in the open: how I find the systems hiding in a complex situation, how I label what's confirmed versus what's still a guess, how I check evidence, and how I treat real human capacity as a planning fact rather than something to pathologize. The same library is growing a research wing: the essays and findings behind the verification work.

Read it before you decide.

If the way I work doesn't match what you need, that's genuinely useful to know early; the library is the fastest way to find out, before you've committed to anything.

A builder who shows the wiring.

I'm Levi Banks, a systems consultant in Portland, relocating to the Netherlands in late 2026, which means the relocation service is something I'm living in real time, not theory. I've done freelance AI verification work since 2024, I build automation for small teams, and I run a self-funded AI research program on my own hardware.

The thread through all of it: I take things that feel like an impossible tangle and turn them into something you can see, hold, and act on. The magic, if there's any, is just careful systems work done out loud: method published, scope stated, evidence checkable.

I'm autistic and ADHD, and I live with chronic illness. That's not a footnote; it's why the practice is built around written artifacts, bounded scope, and systems that don't run on brute force, for my clients or for me.

What you tell me stays with me.

I use what you share only to understand your situation and write back to you directly. I don't sell it, and I won't add you to a marketing list.
