The scope of a global consultancy, without the global-consultancy bill.
Strategy, software, cloud, data and AI, planned, built and run by a small senior team working with AI agents. Fewer people on the project, and a smaller bill.
Scope and price are agreed before any work starts. We reply within one business day.

Advise first, then build and run.
Start with a fixed-scope engagement that answers one question. When the answer is go, the same team designs, builds and operates the system, with the plan as its brief.
Advise
Short, fixed-scope engagements with a deliverable you can act on.
AI does the legwork. Senior engineers make the calls.
Agents read the documents, map the systems, write the first drafts and the boilerplate, and run the tests, in parallel. That is where the weeks and the cost go away. Judgment, architecture and sign-off stay with people.
Day 1–2
Scope
A short call to pin down the question, the systems involved and the deadline. Scope and price in writing the same week.
Week 1
Discover
We sit with your team. Agents digest your documents, data and code while we map the workflow and who decides what.
Week 2+
Deliver
Advisory work: a report where every recommendation links to its evidence. Builds: a prototype on real data in days, then production with tests, guardrails and a security review.
Ongoing
Run
The same engineers monitor, tune and extend the system, and train your team to own it.
Decided to build? The same team that wrote the plan designs and ships the system, with the plan as its brief. See build services
The same breadth, without the overhead.
Large consultancies staff a project with a pyramid of analysts across several offices. We replace that labour with AI agents and keep the senior judgment. Fewer people on the project means a smaller invoice.

What you get
A deck and a handover
Working software, and the team that built it stays to run it
Who signs off
Engagement partner
The senior engineer who did the work
Work you can check, on data we protect.
AI makes delivery fast. These rules make it trustworthy.
A senior engineer owns every deliverable
Agents draft. People decide. Every recommendation, design and pull request is reviewed and signed off by a named senior engineer.
Evidence, not opinion
Advisory findings link to the document, dataset or interview they came from. Builds ship with test sets and a measured baseline.
Your data stays yours
We scope what models can access, redact sensitive fields and never use client data to train models. NDA before scoping.
Your choice of model and cloud
Model-agnostic: US and Chinese labs or self-hosted open-weight models, on public cloud, private cloud or on-premise, chosen per use case.
Questions before you start
Is it cheaper because the work is worse?
No. It is cheaper because fewer people are on it. Agents handle the reading, drafting, boilerplate and testing. Senior engineers do the parts that need judgment. You pay for the second, not the first.
Can you really cover the same scope as a large consultancy?
For technology work, yes: strategy, software, cloud, data and AI, from the first assessment to running the system. If a request is outside our depth, we say so and point you elsewhere.
Do we need a lot of data to use AI?
No. Many useful systems start with documents and processes you already have. We assess your data in the first days and tell you honestly if AI is the wrong tool.
Is our data safe?
We scope what models can access, redact sensitive fields, and can deploy on private cloud or self-hosted models. Data handling terms are agreed in the contract before we touch any data.
What about hallucinations and wrong answers?
We ground answers in your own sources and cite them, test against evaluation sets before launch, and keep a human in the loop for high-risk actions.
Which AI models do you use?
We are model-agnostic. US labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta) and Chinese labs (Alibaba Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Zhipu), plus self-hosted open-weight models, are chosen per use case for quality, cost, language support and privacy, and can be swapped later.
How long does a project take?
An advisory engagement takes one to six weeks depending on scope. A prototype takes days to a couple of weeks. Most production MVPs take 8–12 weeks depending on integrations. We give a detailed timeline after the first week.
Can your engineers join our team instead?
Yes. Senior engineers join on contract, follow your process and report to your managers. Pick team augmentation in the form and tell us the stack.
Built for teams that need enterprise-grade technology without an enterprise-grade budget.
Established companies
Operations, finance and IT leaders at mid-size and large businesses modernising how work gets done.
Which systems should we modernise first, and what will it cost?
Where would AI actually remove work, not just add a chatbot?
Can we do this without a forty-person vendor team on site?
Startups and scale-ups
Founders and product leaders who need senior engineering without a senior payroll.
Can we have an MVP in production in eight weeks?
What should the data and AI stack look like before the next round?
Can senior engineers join our team for six months?
Projects we can talk about.
