Find where AI would actually pay. Prove it on your own records against a number agreed beforehand. Only then build it. You can start at any stage, and nothing is built until the proof clears.
Most AI consulting is sold as one undifferentiated engagement, which makes it impossible to tell what you are paying for or to stop when the answer turns out to be no. We sell three, in the order they should be bought, and each one produces something you keep.
Find maps the operation and puts a number on it: where the hours and the margin actually go in your week, a ranked and costed shortlist of the two or three things worth building, and the figure the system will be measured against, written down before anything exists. You leave with that map whether or not you continue.
Prove is the gate. We build the smallest working version and run it on your records rather than a demo, then score it against the figure agreed in Find. It returns a straight yes or no.
Build and Run only happens after the proof clears. A production system wired into the stack you already have, that you own outright, measured against the baseline set before a line of it was written.
The conventional order is to quote the build and then discover during the build whether it was ever going to pay. That risk sits entirely with you, and it is why so many pilots quietly never reach production.
Inverting it has a cost on our side, which is that we cannot take on every business that asks. Some operations do not have the volume or the margin to justify a build, and that shows up in Find rather than four months later.
You find out in half an hour instead of a quarter. We would rather lose the build than sell one that does not pay, because a system nobody uses is a reference we cannot name.
We will not put a model in charge of arithmetic. Pricing, eligibility and anything with a correct answer is computed deterministically, and the model reads and routes rather than decides.
We will not hand you a system you cannot leave. Your code, your data, your infrastructure, with no arrangement where it stops working if you stop paying us.
We will not invent a number to win the work. Where we have a mechanism and no measurement, we describe the mechanism and say so plainly.
Owner led companies from $5M in revenue, across the UK, Ireland, the United States and Australia, concentrated in construction, trades and services.
The pattern that matters more than the sector is a business where revenue is growing and margin is not, usually because headcount has grown faster than output. That is the gap these systems are built to close: fewer people doing more, rather than more people doing the same.
Nothing here is sold as a silo. Most engagements start with one of these and pull in the next once the first is paying for itself.
The things owners actually ask on the first call.
There is no published rate card, deliberately. A system that saves a ten person office four days a month is not the same product as one that saves a sixty person operation the same four days, so a single price would be wrong for one of you. Engagements are fixed in scope rather than open ended, and you see the number before committing to the stage after it. If the arithmetic does not support a build, we say so on the first call.
No, and that is the one part of the model we do not flex. Until a proof exists neither side can price the build honestly, including us. What you can skip is Find, if you already know precisely which bottleneck you want tested.
That is usually the better arrangement. Your team knows your systems and will still be there in two years. The part worth buying in is the unfamiliar part, not the whole build, and the Find output is deliberately written so an internal team can execute it without us.
An automation agency generally starts from the tooling and works towards a use case. We start from your P&L and work towards whether a machine belongs there at all, which sometimes ends with us telling you it does not. Both can be right for a given business; they are answering different questions.
You do not buy the build. That is agreed in writing before you pay for the proof, not offered afterwards as a goodwill gesture.
Half an hour with a founder, not a sales rep. We tell you straight whether a machine fixes this, what it would cost, and what it would return.
