AI Consultancy
Find out where AI can really help your business. Practical, honest advice from a developer building business systems since 1996.
A fixed-price review of your systems and the way your team works: where AI will save time, where it won't, and what to do first.
Sound familiar?
- You keep hearing that AI will change everything, but nobody can tell you what it would actually do for your business.
- Your team spends hours reading documents, re-typing data or answering the same questions.
- You've been sold "AI" before and it didn't connect to anything you already use.
- You'd like a plan you can trust before you spend money on development.
The AI & Automation Review
A short, fixed-price review that looks at your business as it really is: your systems, your data and the people who use them. You get an honest answer about where AI fits, and a clear first step.
Who it's for: owners and managers of growing businesses that run on a CRM, accounts package, online shop, portal or bespoke system, and want to know whether AI is worth it.
What we look at
- The jobs that take your team the most time
- How information moves between your systems, and where it gets re-typed
- The data you already have, and whether it's in a state AI can use
- Privacy, UK GDPR and who checks the results
- Running costs, so there are no surprises later
What you get
- A written report with your opportunities ranked by value and effort
- The quick wins you could start on straight away
- Where plain automation or a better integration would do the job more cheaply than AI
- One recommended first project, with a rough size and cost
- A one-hour walkthrough of the findings with you and your team

How it works
- A free 30-minute call. We talk about your business and whether a review makes sense. No obligation.
- The review. Remote or on site, we look at your systems, your data and the way your team works.
- Your report. Ranked opportunities, quick wins and one recommended first project, talked through with you.
- Your choice. We plan and build it with you, or you take the report and do nothing more. Either is fine.
Sometimes the answer isn't AI
We'd rather tell you that a simple integration will save more time than an AI project than sell you something you don't need. Most AI ideas also depend on your systems sharing data properly first, and joining systems together is what we've done for our clients for years.
AI where it helps, software where it matters
Meal Analyser shows how we use AI in a real product. Caterers enter a dish by its name, and AI suggests the ingredients and matches them to recognised emissions and nutrition databases. The software does every calculation itself, checked against a master spreadsheet, so the same dish always gives the same answer. AI then explains the results in plain language.
AI handles the slow, fiddly work, and proven software handles anything that has to be exactly right. Your review takes the same approach.
From review to a plan you can build on
When a project goes ahead, the next step is a solution plan: a detailed specification of what to build, how it connects to your systems, and how to go live safely. It's quoted from your review, from a minimum of 10 days. See what a full specification looks like.
Advice from people who build
Plenty of people can tell you about AI. We can also build it, and connect it to the CRM, accounts, helpdesk and online shop you already use.
Questions
Do I have to use you for the build?
No. The report is yours to keep and use however you like.
Can you work on site?
Yes. The on-site review includes two days with your team. Remote reviews work well too.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, happily.
Is our data safe?
We look at how your data would be handled before recommending anything, including privacy, UK GDPR and where the data would be processed. Nothing is sent to an AI service during the review without your agreement.
What if the answer is "don't do it"?
Then that's what the report will say, along with anything simpler that would help. An honest "not yet" is still worth knowing before you spend money.
How much will the build cost?
That depends on what the review finds. Your report gives a rough size for the recommended first project, and the solution plan gives a firm quote.
