For investors, accelerators & portfolio operators
Every company in your portfolio has an AI narrative now. Some are real, some are stalled, and some are theatre. I tell them apart quickly, and I tell founders what I see.
£2–3k / month • rolling, cancel any month
A pattern-spotter on call across the portfolio. Founders book time when something is stuck: an AI rollout that stopped, a delivery ceiling, a build-vs-buy call they can't settle. You get a quiet early-warning system; they get answers from someone who builds.

One company, one stall, one written diagnosis. The AI Rollout Stall Diagnosis names the constraint and the first intervention, in a document the founder can act on and you can read. Small enough to expense, useful enough to forward.
Read about the diagnosisWhen you put me in front of a founder, you are spending your own reputation. So here is exactly what the engagement looks like, with no surprises in it:
Before anything
A call with you, not the founder. You brief me on the company, the stall, and the personalities. I tell you whether I think I can help. If I can’t, I say so and nobody’s time is wasted.
Days 1–2
I talk to the people closest to the problem. Founders get someone who has shipped production AI and run transformations, not a methodology deck.
Within a week
You and the founder get the same written diagnosis: the constraint named, the first intervention identified, in plain language.
Then I leave
If the company wants the fix built, that is a separately scoped sprint and their decision. No retainer ambush. Your introduction stays clean.
Fair warning, because it protects you: I am direct. I tell founders what I see, quickly, including when the problem is the founder. If you want someone who softens the message, I am the wrong referral. If you want the company unstuck, that directness is the service.
How every engagement runs
Find where the constraint actually sits. Not where the org chart says it should be.
Build the thing that proves the pathway exists. Working software, not a slide.
Transfer the capability to your people while it is being built, not after.
Every engagement has a defined end. Extension is your choice, never my pitch.
I leave. The capability stays. If you want a consultant who embeds for eighteen months, I am the wrong person.
Thirty minutes. Tell me about the stall. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
