About ai consulting & strategy
Most organisations do not have an AI problem — they have a prioritisation problem. There are more plausible use cases than budget, and the ones that sound most impressive are frequently not the ones that pay.
Finding where value actually sits
We look for repeated, high-volume tasks involving unstructured text or images, where a moderate accuracy improvement produces a real cost or revenue effect. Those are usually unglamorous — support triage, document processing, internal search — and they are usually where the returns are.
Data readiness determines what is possible
Ambition is constrained by data. We assess what you actually hold, its quality, how it is governed, and what would need to change. Frequently the first recommendation is a data project rather than an AI project.
An honest roadmap
You get a prioritised roadmap with effort, expected value, running cost, and risk for each item — including the ones we recommend not doing, and why.
What the engagement includes
Use case discovery workshops
Structured sessions with the teams closest to the work.
Data readiness assessment

- 1
Discovery & feasibility
We assess the use case, data readiness, and whether AI is genuinely the right tool before proposing a build.
- 2
Prototype & evaluation
A working prototype measured against defined accuracy and cost criteria, so the decision to proceed is evidence-based.
- 3
Production build
Hardening, guardrails, monitoring, evaluation harness, and integration with your systems.
- 4
Monitor & improve
Ongoing quality monitoring, prompt and retrieval tuning, and model updates as the landscape changes.

Common questions
Do we have to build with you afterwards?
What if the answer is that AI will not help?
