All of it runs on one spine: diagnose what is actually stuck, prove the fix on real work, embed it until your people run it without me, then leave. Start as small as you like. Each rung earns the next one, and none of them locks you in. The climb is the same everywhere, the three Adoption Levels: doing the work faster first, then changing how the work works, then work that wasn't viable before. Most organisations stop one level in. If you run a fund or an accelerator, there is a dedicated page for portfolios.
LEVEL 1 · TASK ACCELERATION
Tools chosen, people fluent, tasks quicker. The right place to start — and the wrong place to stop.
LEVEL 2 · WORKFLOW REDESIGN
Handoffs, verification and decisions redrawn around the speed. Task gains become operating gains.
LEVEL 3 · NEW CAPABILITY
Work that didn’t used to be economic becomes possible. Reached through Level 2, never around it.
Level 1 is where most engagements rightly begin — and, done properly, it starts Level 2 on its own. Level 3 is reached through Level 2, never around it. The levels, measured.
01 · Diagnose
3 minutes
Finds your level
A natural-language survey that gives you a personalised read on where your organisation actually stands with AI. Automated, honest, and a sensible first step if we have never spoken.
Take the survey →02 · Diagnose
90 minutes
Finds your level
One structured session on where progress has actually stalled: your AI adoption, your transformation, or the shape of the organisation itself. AI is one lens, not the assumption. You leave with a first reading, the three structural causes most likely holding things there, and what I would test first. Credited in full against the next rung within 30 days.
Read more →03 · Diagnose
2 days
Finds your level
For the rollout you are about to run, before anything has gone wrong. Two days with the people closest to the handoffs, then one document: where the constraint will move when it ships, and the three things to change before it does. Then I leave.
Already rolled out and levelled off? The AI Maturity Diagnosis is the same two days pointed backwards.
Read more →04 · Prove & embed
2–6 weeks
LEVEL 2 · WORKFLOW REDESIGN
When the document points at something worth changing: a deeper diagnostic, a working proof on real work, a redesign of decision rights, the last mile into daily use, or a cohort that builds the capability in your teams. Each is fixed-price with a defined end, and each is scoped from the pre-mortem rather than from a sales call.
The sprints, in detail →05 · Leave
2–3 fixed days a week
A standing seat with one organisation: fixed days a week on a problem queue you feed, re-scoped every quarter with a break clause both ways. Diagnosis, prototype and handover happen inside it. Never a dev lead, never an interim head of anything.
Occasional days rather than a standing pattern? That is Advisor on Call, the same rate bought as needed.
Read more →Why publish prices? Because you should be able to qualify me out without a sales call, forward this page to whoever signs it off, and never discover the number was "it depends". Bespoke work happens, but it starts from these shapes.
Introducing me to a client of yours? There is a dedicated page for partners that says exactly what happens when you do.
The free survey · what comes back
Three minutes of questions. A personal report in your inbox: where your constraint most likely sits, the thing that’s easy to miss, one thing to stop doing now, and the first thing I’d test. Written for your situation — not a score out of ten.
Take the survey →Rung 04, in detail
Five shapes, one spine. The pre-mortem or the diagnosis says which one fits; you never buy two of these at once, and none of them is a route into an open-ended tail.
2–4 weeks
The full organisational diagnostic for transformations that are not landing. A CFO-ready account of what is structurally stuck and what to change, in what order.
Read more →2–4 weeks
Build the thing that proves the pathway exists. Working software in your context, your people in the build, clean handoff at the end.
Read more →4–6 weeks
The diagnosis named the constraint. This sprint redesigns the decision rights and feedback loops that hold it in place, proven on real work, then handed over.
Read more →3–6 weeks
Proving it works is not the same as it being used. Your people running it on real cases until it is load-bearing without me. Closes on an adoption checkpoint, not a date.
Read more →Tailored
The honest Level 1 entry: tool choice, fluency and adoption built into how your teams already work, with the habits that seed Level 2.
Read more →From the field
A FTSE 250 technology executive sensing a bottleneck in outcomes — and unable to get a straight answer about why. The diagnosis put one in writing: work arriving unshaped, delivery queuing behind a handful of people. The answer was process. Not capacity, not AI.
Lever: Process — not capacity, not AI
A household-name global brand wanting to explore how AI changes the flow of value: not a tool rollout — a working design for an AI-first product-operations team, built on team and alignment work first so the design had people ready to carry it.
Lever: People + shape + tech
A consultancy whose product is technical reports had directors as the bottleneck: every document queued for senior review. Two targeted AI experiments moved the constraint.
Lever: Tech — placed at the constraint, not sprayed across the firm
Details anonymised. Clients are never named without permission.
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.
Get it into live use with your people, on real cases, until it is load-bearing without me in the room.
Every engagement has a defined end. Extension is your choice, never my pitch.
I leave, and it keeps running. If you want a consultant who moves in for eighteen months, I am the wrong person — the whole point is that you don't need me.
A short conversation is usually enough to know. If none of them fit, I will tell you that too.
