AI where it changes the economics

Most AI programmes stall in the same place: a portfolio of pilots nobody can rank. The work is deciding what is worth doing, proving it inside the operating business, and stopping the rest early.

Start a diagnosisRead how we work

Problems this solves

  • A pilot portfolio that needs ranking by value at risk rather than by enthusiasm
  • Digital transformation that has to work inside the operating business, not only on a slide
  • Product evolution where AI changes the product itself rather than the way it is built
  • Process optimisation with the savings stated as a number someone will be held to
  • A build-or-buy call on models, tooling and data that will still look sensible in two years

The deliverable

  • Two working sessions
  • A 12 to 18 page memo, working shown
  • A one-page board summary
  • Every model and source, yours to keep

What you can check before you call

The model we use to rank an AI portfolio by what it costs to find out is published, with its blocking rules and kill gate, and it also runs in the browser as a framework workbench. Behind it is the same method that produced the telecom analyses, down to what AI does at each step and what a person decides.

Where this usually starts

How an engagement runs

The first step is a one-day teardown. Each step stands on its own, has a fixed fee agreed before it starts, and you decide whether the next one is worth doing.

  1. Step 1

    One-day teardown

    A 90-minute working session on the decision in front of you, a written answer in two working days, and the model behind it, yours to keep.

  2. Step 2

    Two-week assessment

    Two working sessions, a 12 to 18 page memo with the working shown so your team can check every number, and a one-page board summary.

  3. Step 3

    Project

    Scoped to the engagement, with weekly checkpoints, until a first offering is in the market with your team running it. Every model and source is yours at the close.

The method, the tools and the analyses are public, so the work can be checked before any of it is commissioned.
