Signing Software Before Naming The Problem
Contracts get signed before anyone in the room agrees on which workflow the tool is supposed to fix.
AI & Data Innovation
In 12 Working Days, You'll Know Exactly Where AI Pays Off.
We spend twelve days inside your operation, rank what we find by how much it's genuinely worth fixing, and leave your team holding a plan they can run themselves. No tool shopping list attached.

— The Problem
Everyone's Convinced. Nobody's Agreed On Monday Morning.
Every vendor demo looks convincing and every case study sounds inevitable. None of them tell you which of your own processes to touch first, or what it costs you if you guess wrong.
Months Of Talking, No Way To Compare Options
Without a shared way to score one idea against another, the same meeting repeats itself for months.
Leadership Time Burned On Talk, Not Output
Each week your leaders spend debating AI is a week they didn't spend building something that ships.
Nobody Wants To Own A Failed Pilot
One bad pilot, and it's your name on the slide explaining to the board what went wrong.
— What You Get
Here's What Lands In Your Inbox, And When
Each stage closes with a document your team can actually use, never just a check-in call.
1Day 1–2
The Reality Check
We spend a working session with your leadership team, no slides involved. By the end of it, we've named your five biggest time drains, the three processes that break most often, and a handful of quick wins nobody had bothered to write down.
Deliverable: A one-page brief listing your biggest time drains, your least reliable processes, and the quick wins available now, each one priced in hours.
2Day 3–6
Process Maps & Cost Analysis
We select the three to five processes with the biggest payoff and walk through each one step by step, marking where it breaks down and putting a dollar figure on every delay.
Deliverable: A set of process maps with every bottleneck flagged, what each process costs you today, and what it would save you automated.
3Day 7–8
Competitive Gap Analysis
We check what similar companies in your industry are already doing with AI, which off-the-shelf tools solve part of your problem today, and whether you're behind the pack or sitting on a chance to jump ahead of it.
Deliverable: A short brief covering what your peers are doing, what tools already exist, roughly what they cost, and where your biggest gaps sit.
4Day 9–10
Prioritised Action List
Every opportunity uncovered so far gets scored on three things: impact, effort, and how ready you are to act on it. Then it's ordered into a sequence with a budget and expected return attached to each one.
Deliverable: A ranked list of your best opportunities with projected ROI attached, handed to you as a spreadsheet you keep and control.
5Day 11–12
The Action Plan
The document you take into the boardroom: what to do in the next 30 days, where you should be at 90, what the next year looks like, what it will cost, and how you'll know it's actually working.
Deliverable: A 3–5 page plan covering your first 30 days, your 90-day roadmap, a 12-month outlook, the budget involved, and the metrics that prove it is working.
— Why It Works
One Engagement, A Clear End Point.
There's no monthly invoice waiting to appear after this. You pay once, for a fixed scope, and what you walk away with is a plan that belongs to you, not a reason to keep us on retainer.
Two Weeks, Not One Quarter
Most strategy engagements run a full quarter before you see anything. Ours runs twelve working days and ends with a plan in hand, not an invoice that keeps coming.
One Number: $2,500
We agree the number before day one. There's no hourly clock running, no scope quietly expanding, and nothing new on the invoice when we deliver.
A Plan Your CFO Can Approve
Nobody hands you a slide full of software logos here. What you get is a sequenced plan with a budget, a timeline, and a return your board can actually sign off on.
A Scoring Model We Didn't Invent Yesterday
The Impact, Effort, and Readiness model we use has been run and adjusted across engagements in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and SaaS. It isn't a first attempt.
We Don't Disappear At Handoff
Your audit lead stays on call for 30 days after we hand the plan over, so you have someone to think decisions through with while your team starts moving.
If You Want It Built, Say So
Prefer not to build it yourself? Our AI Transformation and AI Agents teams can pick the roadmap up from where the audit leaves off.
— How It Works
Three Steps, Start To Finish
Discovery Call
30 min · Free
We spend thirty minutes on your business and your mandate, and tell you plainly if the audit isn't the right fit. No pitch, no pressure either way.
The Audit
12 days · $2,500
Four or five people from your side, twelve days on ours. We run all five stages: reality check, process mapping, competitive read, prioritisation, and the action plan. Your team stays involved the whole way through.
Execute
Day 13+
Five documents, thirty days of us still being reachable, and a plan ready to run. Want us to build it instead? That's a separate conversation. This one stands on its own regardless.

$2,500 is a rounding error next to six more months spent talking about it instead of doing it.

Who Actually Gets Value From This
This audit is built for
- SMBs with 20–500 employees and $1M–$100M in revenue
- Senior leaders who can actually approve a budget
- Teams told to "figure out AI" with no roadmap yet
- Teams that already tried a tool or two and saw little return
- Leaders who need something board-ready, not another vendor pitch
Probably not a fit if
- Fewer than 20 employees, the economics don't work yet
- You want the automation built, not just mapped out
- Your strategy's already done and you just need hands to build it
- You can't free up 4–5 people for 12 days
FAQs
Before You Book A Call
What we're asked most before someone books the discovery call.
$2,500, and that number doesn't move once we've agreed the scope on the discovery call. No hourly rate, no add-ons.
Twelve working days, start to finish, ending with the Action Plan in your hands.
Four to five people: whoever owns the budget decision, someone running operations, someone technical, and someone from finance. Nobody else needs to be pulled in.
About 10–12 hours total, spread across those four or five people over the twelve days. The mapping, scoring, and writing are on us. Your team just needs to show up for the working sessions.
Five documents: the Reality Check brief, Process Maps with the cost analysis attached, the Competitive Gap Analysis, a Prioritised Action List as a spreadsheet you keep, and a 3–5 page Action Plan covering the next 30, 90, and 365 days.
In most cases, yes. Teams that say AI "didn't work" usually pointed it at a process that was never going to move the needle. We check whether what you're already using is aimed at the right workflow, and redirect it if it isn't.
Yes, if you want that. Our AI Transformation, AI Agents, and Intelligent Automation teams can take it from there. But nothing about the audit depends on that follow-on; take the plan to whoever you like, us included.
Start with the 30-minute discovery call. Nothing gets booked or billed until we've confirmed it's actually a fit. We only run four of these a month, so if your timeline matters, don't wait too long to reach out.
Twelve Days From Now, You Could Have A Plan Instead Of Another Meeting.
