AI, growth and operations advisory
More tools.
Better numbers.
We help growing companies win more customers and run leaner, with AI where it actually pays.
No pitch deck. You speak with a senior partner and get a written summary, whether or not you hire us.

We spend more on ads every year. The leads aren't getting any better.
My team spends hours every week copying data from one system to another.

What we solve
Where are you stuck?
Pick the one that sounds most like you.
AI implementation & automation
Turn AI spend into a number your CFO recognises.
We find the AI use with the clearest payback, build it into the tools your team already uses, and measure it against a baseline. Tools that don't earn their place get cut.
- Engagement
- AI Pilot-to-Production Sprint
- Typical length
- 6 to 8 weeks
Growth
Fix the leak before you buy more traffic.
We trace where leads drop out, from first click to signed deal, then fix the biggest leaks: targeting, landing pages, follow-up speed and the hand-over to sales. It is usually cheaper than more ad spend.
- Engagement
- Growth Sprint
- Typical length
- 6 to 8 weeks
Operations
Take the copy-paste out of the week.
We find the tasks your people repeat every day, connect your systems, and automate the work that doesn't need a person: data entry, reporting, follow-ups and hand-overs.
- Engagement
- Automation Sprint
- Typical length
- 4 to 8 weeks
Systems, data and BI
One source of truth your team trusts.
CRM, finance, operations and marketing tools connected, cleaned and documented, with dashboards that answer the questions leadership actually asks.
- Engagement
- Systems & Data Foundations
- Typical length
- Scoped after the diagnostic
Diagnose first
Find the three changes worth funding.
A two-week diagnostic looks at how you win customers and how work gets done, then ranks the changes by value, effort and risk, including where AI fits and where it doesn't. You leave with a 90-day plan.
- Engagement
- Growth & Operations Diagnostic
- Typical length
- 2 weeks
How we work
Three stages, each measured against your numbers.
We start with how you win customers and how work gets done, not with a tool. Then we make one change, prove it against a baseline, and only then scale it.
Diagnose
We look at how you win customers and how work gets done: your funnel, systems, data and team.
- Your baseline: the numbers we will be judged on
- Where leads and hours are being lost
- The top changes, ranked by value and effort
- A 90-day plan your leadership can approve
Prove
We make the highest-value change, inside the tools your team already uses.
- One change live, not a slide deck
- Results measured against a baseline
- Your team trained to run it
Scale
We roll out what works and keep improving it.
- The next changes, in order of payback
- Marketing, systems and AI working together
- A one-page monthly report against your baseline
- Fixed scope and price, in writing, before we start.
- The senior people you meet do the work.
- If it doesn't pay, we tell you, and we stop.
Capabilities

| Strategy and build | Both, one team | Strategy first, build often handed off | Build only |
| First result | In weeks | Usually a multi-month programme | Fast, rarely tied to a business goal |
| Pricing | Fixed scope, agreed in writing | Large retainers | Hourly, open-ended |
| Measured against a baseline | Always | Sometimes | Rarely |
Who you'll work with
“Companies don't need more AI tools. They need someone who owns the result. That's the job we take on, and the person you meet on the first call is the person who does it.”
Questions
What leaders ask before they call.
How much does it cost?
Every engagement has a fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. The Diagnostic is a fixed fee, credited to your project if you go ahead. Projects are priced on scope, so you know the number before any work begins.
Do we need clean data before we start?
No. The diagnostic shows exactly which data your first changes need, and we fix only that.
We're not a technical company. Will this work for us?
Yes. We handle the build, work inside the tools your team already uses, and train them to run it.
How do you keep our data secure?
We work inside your systems where possible, sign an NDA and a data processing agreement, and follow your security policies.
Do you only do AI?
No. AI leads many of our conversations, but the work spans growth, systems and data. We help you use AI where it clearly pays for your business, and we tell you plainly when it doesn't.
