Three services. One aim: the right solution.
Consultancy to work out what’s wrong, bespoke builds to fix it, and education so your team can fix the next one themselves. Each lists what we deliver, how long it takes and what it costs. Where a page says 'from', it means the lower bound of a real scope, not a teaser.
All services
Consultancy & Strategy
We find out what’s actually wrong.
Most businesses don’t have a technology problem. They have a process problem wearing a software subscription. We map how the work really moves, look hard at what you’re paying for, and tell you what to fix. Sometimes that means building nothing at all.
- Process mapping
- Software and subscription audit
- Build versus buy
- Technology strategy
- Data readiness
- Cost reduction
2 to 4 weeks for an audit. 4 to 6 weeks for a full strategy sprint.
DetailsBespoke Solutions
We build it around how you work.
Custom management systems, internal applications, CRMs, client portals, workflow automation and AI-powered tools, designed around your actual process rather than someone else’s idea of it. When an off-the-shelf product is genuinely the better answer, we say so and help you set it up properly instead.
- Management systems
- Internal applications
- CRM and client portals
- Workflow automation
- AI-powered tools
- Integrations and migration
A single automation is 2 to 4 weeks. A prototype is around 6 weeks. A production system is 3 to 6 months.
DetailsEducation & Enablement
We teach your team to build it.
The tools that let a small team build its own internal software got good very quickly, and most businesses haven’t noticed yet. We teach your people to use AI coding tools and modern development workflows properly, so the next internal tool you need doesn’t require a purchase order or a consultant.
- AI coding tools
- Practical training
- Workshops
- Guided implementation
- Internal tooling
- Ongoing technical support
Agreed per engagement. Workshops are scheduled around your team; guided implementation runs for as long as the build takes.
DetailsFixed price against a written scope
We don’t bill by the hour for defined work. You get a fixed price against a signed specification, so the cost of a change is a conversation rather than an invoice surprise. Open-ended discovery and long-running partnerships are the exceptions, and we say so up front.
- Fixed scope, fixed price
- Agreed in writing before the build starts.
- Staged payments
- Split across delivery milestones, not paid up front.
- No hourly billing
- For clearly scoped work, the risk of the estimate sits with us.
- Audit fee credited
- Go on to a build within 90 days and the audit fee comes off the first invoice.
Where AI, automation and product development fit
They’re tools inside the three services, used where they genuinely save work. They aren’t the whole identity of the business. Here’s what each service draws on, including the one thing we’re not selling yet.
- Process improvementMapping how the work moves, and changing it before any software is involved.
- Software auditWhat every subscription costs, what it’s used for, and what it could be replaced with.
- Technology strategyBuild, buy or change the process, worked out problem by problem with the costs attached.
- Management systemsBespoke internal applications built around your process and owned by you.
- Workflow automationRemoving the retyping, the chasing and the copy-paste between systems.
- AI-powered featuresExtraction, drafting, classification and search, inside your own systems and data.
- Product developmentBuilding and operating software products end to end, including our own.
- Autonomous AI agentsIn developmentIn development and not for sale. The evaluation and guardrail work isn’t finished, and until it is, a workflow automation or an assistant inside a system is the honest recommendation.
- Team trainingAI coding tools and a modern development workflow, taught on your own problems.
- Guided developmentYour team builds something real with us reviewing the design and the code.
Everything we sell, and what each one is for
12 defined packages across 3 services. Each one links to exactly what it includes, and every build is fixed price against a written scope.

- 01Transformation ProgrammeConsultancy & StrategyConsultancy, build and enablement delivered together as one multi-phase programme.
- 01Operations & Software AuditConsultancy & StrategyA focused assessment of how the work moves, what the software costs and where the money is going.
- 02Single Workflow AutomationBespoke SolutionsOne high-value workflow, built properly and deployed to production.
- 02Multi Workflow AutomationBespoke SolutionsA connected set of workflows across a department.
- 02System PrototypeBespoke SolutionsA working, deployable prototype that proves the concept with real data.
- 02Production SystemBespoke SolutionsA management system or internal application your team depends on daily.
- 02Advanced PlatformBespoke SolutionsA multi-tenant platform serving many organisations, with bespoke AI at its core.
- 02Support & MaintenanceBespoke SolutionsOngoing monitoring, maintenance and iteration on systems we have built.
- 03Team WorkshopEducation & EnablementPractical training on AI coding tools and a modern development workflow, run on your own problems.
- 03Guided ImplementationEducation & EnablementYour team builds something real and we’re alongside them while they do it.
- 03Ongoing Technical SupportEducation & EnablementA technical counterpart for a team now building its own tools, for when they get stuck.
The things people ask before they commit
Businesses where the way the work moves has become the problem: too many tools, too much retyping, a spreadsheet nobody else understands, or software that was built for someone else. Size matters less than whether there’s a real process to improve, and the smallest engagement is a short audit.
Not always, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. A build has an upfront cost a subscription doesn’t. It tends to win when per-seat fees keep growing, when the workarounds are costing real hours, or when your process is what makes you different. We do that arithmetic with you before you commit, and if a product you can buy fits, we’ll tell you to buy it.
Then that’s what we tell you. Sometimes the fix is a process change, a module you already pay for, or cancelling a tool. The audit is priced to stand on its own, so we have no reason to steer you towards a build.
Yes, that’s our Education & Enablement service. We train your people on AI coding tools and a proper development workflow, using your real problems, then support them while they build. You keep the capability rather than renting it from us.
Fixed price against a written scope. We agree a specification first, then quote against it. We don’t bill by the hour for clearly defined work, which means the risk of the estimate sits with us rather than you.
Yes. Source code, infrastructure and data transfer to you on final payment. Handover includes documentation and a deployment another engineer can perform. There’s no lock-in and no licence to keep paying.
Where it genuinely removes work, yes: drafting, summarising, pulling data out of documents, searching your own information. It sits behind an abstraction so the provider can change, we document which provider sees your data and where, and we never send your data to one that trains on it without your sign-off. Plenty of good solutions involve no AI at all.
Not yet. Autonomous agents are in development and deliberately not for sale until the evaluation and guardrail work is done. Most requests described as needing an agent are better served today by an automation or a system with an assistant built into it.
An audit is 2 to 4 weeks. A single automation is 2 to 4 weeks. A prototype is around 6 weeks. A production system is 3 to 6 months. Training is scheduled around your team. Every proposal carries a dated plan.
No, but data quality is one of the biggest drivers of cost. Part of the audit is telling you honestly what state your data is in and what it would take to use it.
Every build includes a post-launch tuning window and a documented handover. After that you choose: we maintain it under a monthly support arrangement, your own team takes it on (we can train them for that), or you hand it to someone else.
