Two Routes

Pick the one that fits your situation.

Most UK AI buyers waste 3 to 6 months evaluating consultancies before any work begins. We make the slower path faster, and offer a faster path for the people who already know what they need.

Why this exists

The cost of choosing wrong.

UK AI consulting is a £4 billion market with extreme quality variance. A bad pick can burn six figures and a year of opportunity cost.

67%

Of AI projects never reach production

Most consulting engagements end with a strategy deck and a proof-of-concept that is never deployed. Production deployment is where ROI lives.

3-6mo

Wasted in vendor evaluation

The average UK enterprise AI procurement cycle takes longer than the actual implementation. Faster paths exist when you know what you need.

£4K/day

Big-four daily rates

Many UK projects are delivered better by specialist firms or practitioners at half the rate. Brand prestige rarely correlates with shipping AI to production.
