WELCOME TO
WILLIAM RICHARDS PHOTOGRAPHY

I strive to create photographs which reflect my personal vision using monochrome tones, primarily black and white. Here, you’ll see a wide range of subjects from human interest, nature, landscape, architecture, performance to, one of my favourites, the streets. Kindly write to me with any questions or to purchase archival quality prints, which I produce here in my studio. I hope you enjoy my work.

"When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!"

I purchased 5 of William's beautiful images that were a perfect fit for my office. Our workplace theme had a strong black and white theme that was complimented by the monochromatic images. Many thanks to him for letting us share and enjoy his work!

For ShopLine merchants

Your worst orders ship before anyone notices.

Stacked promos, fulfillment cost drift, and returns quietly turn profitable orders into losses. Most finance teams find out around thirty days later, in a month-end reconciliation, long after the goods are gone.

Agentis computes true net margin on every order in under a minute, while there is still time to act.

Working with SHOPLINE. HycosAI operates under a signed Development & Referral Agreement with SHOPLINE, executed June 2026. The agreement is non-exclusive. The ShopLine integration is in active development under that agreement. We are onboarding a small number of early merchants now, ahead of general availability.

Where the margin goes

Three leaks, all of them after checkout

Revenue dashboards show none of this, because none of it happens at the moment of sale.

Promo stacking

Codes, automatic discounts, and site-wide offers combine in ways nobody modelled. The order still converts. The margin does not survive it.

Fulfillment and 3PL drift

Quoted shipping and handling costs diverge from what you are actually invoiced. The gap widens per order, per lane, per season.

Returns processing

Inbound freight, inspection, restocking, and write-off land on a different ledger than the sale, so they rarely get attributed back to it.

How it works

Four steps, between the order and the pick list

  1. Ingest

    Order, ERP, and logistics data are pulled into one canonical view. Agentis normalizes across systems, currencies, and cost structures so a per-order figure actually means something.

  2. Compute

    True net margin is calculated for the individual order. Not blended, not category-average, not modelled at month end. Under sixty seconds at the 95th percentile.

  3. Flag and fix

    Loss-making orders surface post-order and pre-fulfillment, the one window where intervention is still cheap and nothing has shipped.

  4. Evidence ledger

    Every decision is written to a confidence-tiered audit trail. When your CFO asks where a number came from, the answer is a record, not a reconstruction.

What you get

Verified Recovered Margin, not another dashboard

We report against a single number: margin we can prove was recovered, order by order, with the evidence attached. It is auditable, and it is the metric we ask to be judged on.

Evidence is free. Vigilance is paid. The diagnosis costs nothing. You see exactly where your margin is leaking and how much of it is recoverable before any money changes hands. You pay only for continuous monitoring and remediation, once you have seen the finding for yourself.

Fit

Who this is built for

  • Physical goods only. Real inventory, real freight, real returns. If there is nothing to ship, there is no leak of this kind to find.
  • $2M to $20M GMV. Owner-operators, where a few points of margin decide the year.
  • $20M to $500M GMV. CFOs and VPs of Finance who need per-order evidence, not a blended average.
  • Apparel, home goods, and B2B/DTC hybrids. Categories where promotions, freight, and returns all bite at once.
  • ShopLine or Shopify. Agentis is platform-agnostic by design and not tied to one storefront.

Who we are

An infrastructure team pointed at commerce

All three founders built systems together at Ravello Systems, acquired by Oracle. We are not marketers who discovered finance. We are engineers who spent careers on correctness under load, and net margin per order is a correctness problem.
