Get AI working in your business — properly.

We're a small UK consultancy that helps businesses cut through the AI hype and ship the things that actually move the needle. No vapourware, no buzzwords, no PowerPoint without proof.

No sales pitch · No commitment · Honest answers

Why some AI projects fail

Pattern 1

Vendor-led. You bought what a vendor sold you, not what your problem needs. Cost: months wasted, often hundreds of thousands.

Pattern 2

Demo-driven. The prototype was impressive, production was a disaster. Hallucinations, latency, cost, integration — none of it figured out.

Pattern 3

Internal politics. Engineering wanted to build, executives wanted to buy, ops wanted neither, legal blocked everything. Nothing shipped.

What we do

Four ways we work with you

AI strategy advisory

We help your leadership team understand what AI can — and can't — do for your business. Honest, no-hype assessment of opportunities, risks, and realistic ROI.

You walk away with
  • AI opportunity audit
  • ROI projection
  • Risk register (incl. data privacy + IP)
  • Roadmap with milestones

Build vs buy decisions

Should you license an off-the-shelf AI product, integrate via API, or build something custom? We've made these calls across dozens of UK businesses. We'll help you avoid the expensive wrong path.

You walk away with
  • Vendor shortlist + pricing analysis
  • Build cost estimate
  • Total-cost-of-ownership comparison
  • Recommendation memo

Implementation

Hands-on integration work — Anthropic, OpenAI, local models. RAG pipelines, vector databases, agentic workflows, evaluation harnesses. We've shipped the full stack live.

You walk away with
  • Working pilot in 4-6 weeks
  • Production deployment
  • Monitoring + evaluation
  • Handover to your team

Training your team

Workshops for technical and non-technical staff. From "what is an LLM" through to "build a RAG pipeline" — pitched at the right level for your audience.

You walk away with
  • Half-day exec briefing
  • Two-day engineer workshop
  • Custom training material
  • Follow-up office hours

How we work

Predictable, low-risk engagement

1

30-min free call

We'll talk through what you're trying to do and tell you honestly whether we can help. No pitch, no commitment.

2

Scoped engagement

If there's a fit, we propose a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement. You know exactly what you're paying for.

3

Deliver

Most engagements run 2-8 weeks. We work alongside your team, not in isolation, so knowledge transfers.

4

Hand over

You finish with documented systems, trained staff, and the option of ongoing retainer if you want it.
