Who we work with

UK small businesses and SMEs — from sole traders and small trades businesses up to firms of around 50 staff, with a particular focus on service businesses.

How we work

Adrian leads on advisory, scoping and QA, and stays closely involved in business development throughout. All technical builds are delivered by trusted associates, so every engagement gets both a considered plan and hands-on delivery.

Every engagement is bespoke-scoped but fixed-price — quoted up front, no open-ended day rates.

Data quality is the foundation

AI advisory starts with your data, not the tool.

Willing to say no

If AI isn't the right answer, that's what we'll tell you.

Plain English, no hype

No jargon, no cheesy naming, no overselling what AI can do.

Retainer-only ongoing support

Support after a sprint is available, never assumed.
