Muskegon, Michigan — Founded by R. J. Saunders

A shield for the ideas worth protecting.

AAO-T is a holding company built on one rule: love over greed. Every product underneath it exists to stand between people and something that would otherwise take advantage of them — in their pet's bowl, their car, their statehouse, their own mind.

The Name

Every idea housed here follows from the same instinct: find where people are being quietly taken advantage of, and build the tool that makes it visible. Not automation for its own sake — protection.

That instinct isn't a brand strategy. It's where the name comes from.

Randall — from Old Norse RannĂșlfr: rand (shield) + Ășlfr (wolf). Saunders — from the Greek Alexandros: defender of the people. Shield-Wolf, Defender of the People. The name wasn't chosen. It was already there.
