We build the
operating system
facilities are missing.

Most cannabis facilities bleed money through bloated headcount, METRC paralysis, and the wrong genetics. We fix that — and we stay until the numbers prove it.

140% output increase · 66% labor reduction · Same facility, same square footage. We don't sell projections. We delivered this and can document every step.

Labor is the #1 controllable cost in cannabis. Most operators aren't controlling it. They're running 30 people for work that requires 10, using genetics that demand constant attention, and running compliance manually while their plants wait.

We walked into a 100,000 sq ft facility running at 40% of its potential. Eighteen months later: same building, same canopy, 140% more product, two-thirds fewer people.

We don't hand over a PDF and leave. We stay until the numbers we promised are on the screen. That's the JMAKN difference.

What we do

Six services.
One outcome.

Every engagement ends the same way: your facility runs better than it did before we arrived.

01
Operational Audit
We analyze your METRC data, labor logs, and plant movement. We show you exactly where you're losing money — before we charge to fix it. This is our entry point and our proof of value.
02
Process Engineering
SOPs, cross-training schedules, harvest workflows, tag-to-table optimization. Turning tribal knowledge into a repeatable, engineered system that survives staff turnover.
03
Genetics Reset
Wild-bred genetics designed for uniform height, resilience, and minimal touch. The right plant requires a fraction of the labor of the wrong one. Via Northern Sōl Farms.
04
Tech Integration
Scanners, taggers, custom METRC workflows. Minimize computer time. Maximize time on plants. Compliance without the paralysis that kills productivity.
05
Facility Build
When the audit finds an infrastructure bottleneck, our build arm executes the fix. One contract. One team. No finger-pointing between vendors. Design through CO under one roof.
06
Ongoing Management
For new market operators: full facility management. We build it, run it, and optimize it. You hold the license. We deliver the numbers. Available for Virginia and emerging markets.
The ecosystem

Four companies.
One supply chain.

Seed to sale. No other consulting firm walks in with genetics, a licensed build arm, and a live operating dispensary behind them.

Virginia Impact Licensee status — If your ownership group qualifies on 4 of 7 equity criteria, you get priority lottery access to those 5 licenses. JMAKN knows the criteria, the application requirements, and the timeline. We can help you evaluate your eligibility and prepare before the window closes.

We don't just consult existing operations. We walk operators into brand new markets.

JMAKN tracks every legal state — canopy tiers, METRC requirements, license costs, social equity criteria, application timelines. When a new market opens, we already know the rules.

Our management model is built for this: you find the right license holder, JMAKN manages the application, Sattva builds the facility, Northern Sōl sets up the genetics, and we run operations under a management agreement. You hold the license. We deliver the numbers.

Virginia applications open September 2026. The window is narrow. The competition is real. JMAKN is already tracking this.
