About
Built for companies that spend on outcomes, not software
Most technology advice comes from people who profit from the answer they give you. We don't take vendor commissions or referral fees. We start with how your business works, then help you find the right technologies and projects to improve your bottom line.
Charles Warren III
Founder & Principal, CIO Weapon
Charles Warren III didn't start as an advisor — he started as the person who had to make the technology actually work, and that has never changed. He spent the first stretch of his career implementing ERP and business systems at a volume most consultants never approach. That volume built the pattern recognition to diagnose most problems on the first day, not after three weeks of discovery.
He's also sat in the operator's chair, including as the CIO of a $900M public company, so he can translate between the boardroom and the build and tell a real risk from a vendor's talking point.
What sets the work apart is a refusal to guess. He's still in the weeds every week. One day that means building an AI proof of concept to test a process change. The next, it's fixing a SQL problem that took a system down. The advice is grounded because his hands are still on the technology.
Today the practice targets the decisions where the stakes are highest and the sales pressure is loudest: software and platform selection, technology leadership gaps, and separating durable AI advantage from expensive theater. Clients are growth-stage and mid-market companies across a variety of industries, where technology decisions show up in the P&L within quarters, not decades.
