AI Consultancy
Identify where AI would earn its keep in your business and what it would cost. Then build it with your engineers, or hand over the plan.
What we look at
The work itself
We talk to the people who do the job and watch how it is done today. Most good ideas start here, not in a list of technologies.
InterviewsYour data
What you have, where it lives, how clean it is and who may use it. Poor data sinks more AI projects than poor models do.
DataYour systems
What a new tool has to plug into, and what your engineers can realistically run once we have gone.
SystemsThe risks
Privacy, security, accuracy and the cost of each use. We write down what could go wrong and what we would do about it.
Risk
Three documents
A ranked list
Each opportunity with a rough cost, a likely return and how sure we are of both.
A recommendation
Which ones to do first and which to leave. Sometimes the answer is a plain no.
A fixed price plan
For the ones worth building: scope, timeline and price, in writing.
If you go ahead
- Step 1
Prototype
A working version on your real data, early on, so you can see it instead of imagining it.
- Step 2
Test on real cases
Examples are collected from your business and the results scored, so quality is a number you can read.
- Step 3
Harden
Monitoring, cost limits, fallbacks and access controls, so it behaves on a bad day.
- Step 4
Hand over
Documentation, a walkthrough with your engineers and a named owner for what happens next.
The person who scopes it builds it
We are a small team of senior engineers, so the advice you get comes from people who will have to make it work.
No hand-offs
You talk to the people doing the work from the first call to the handover.
Advice that survives contact with production
We plan for upkeep, security and running cost, because we are the ones who would have to deal with them.
A no is part of the service
If a project would not pay back, you pay for the teardown and nothing more.

Questions about this service
We have a pilot that works. Why do we need a consultancy?
Pilots usually skip the hard parts: security, cost at scale, monitoring and who looks after it. We help take a working pilot into daily use.
Will you build the whole thing for us?
We can build it with your engineers, or write the plan and leave the build to your team. We agree which in the plan.
What if AI is not the right answer for us?
Then we say so, and you have paid only for the teardown.
Do you work with our existing cloud and tools?
Yes. We work with what you already run and only suggest changes when they clearly pay for themselves.
Still have a question?
Tell us what you are trying to do. We reply within one working day.
