New to AI? Let’s have a chat
and see where it actually helps.
I work with owners and small teams who know AI is a thing — but want a calm, honest guide instead of another sales pitch. We talk, I take a look, and you leave with a plan you understand.

Sign up free and run the 7-pillar diagnostic on your own. You’ll see your top findings and pillar scores immediately.
The full scored roadmap, AI assistant on your data, and a written report are unlocked after a short intro call or video meeting — so we can tailor the plan to where you actually need help.
Who you actually get
One senior consultant. From the first call to the last line of the report.
The big firms put a partner in the room to win the work, then hand you to a rotating cast of juniors learning on your time and your budget. That isn't this.
- ·A partner sells the work, then disappears.
- ·A "pod" of juniors learns the ropes on your time — billed at consultant rates.
- ·Reports stitched from templates, padded with jargon, light on real decisions.
- ·Vendor "partnerships" quietly steer recommendations.
- ·Six-figure invoices. Months of slides. Implementation? "Out of scope."
- Same person, every conversation. The one who sat in your Fit Call writes your report and walks you through it.
- No juniors, no pods, no handoffs. Twenty years of operator experience, applied directly to your business — not learned on it.
- Plain English, on purpose. If you can't repeat the recommendation to your team on Monday, I haven't done my job.
- Zero vendor commissions. I get paid by you, full stop. The picks are the picks.
- Fixed scope, fixed price. You see the number before we start. No "phase two" surprises.
You're not a logo for a case study. You're a business owner who needs a straight answer — from someone who'll still pick up the phone six months from now.
A quick word from the founder
Office junior in 1989. Managing director by my thirties. Still picking up the phone today.
I came up the long way round — UK financial services, shop floor to boardroom, running my own brokerage and packaging firms, traded through the credit crunch and rebuilt on the other side. Thirty-odd years of doing the work, not just talking about it. Now I bring that same operator’s eye to AI — without the jargon or the upsell.
Under the hood
Plain on the surface — serious underneath
Behind every conversation sits a structured diagnostic. Seven pillars, scored against benchmarks for businesses your size. You see the friendly summary; we keep the working in the appendix.
Business overview
Where you are, where you're heading, what you're already trying.
Sales & lead handling
Where leads leak, response times, follow-up gaps.
Admin & operations
The repetitive work eating team capacity.
Customer service
Response time, repeat questions, ticket-to-answer flow.
Marketing
Visibility, content cadence, brand voice consistency.
Finance & cashflow
Where money leaks, month-end bottlenecks, audit posture.
Compliance & risk
Where AI must stay on rails — DPAs, human-in-loop, ownership.
Readiness scoring
Each pillar scored 0–20 with insights and benchmarks.
Board-ready report
Written by a senior consultant — not a template generator.
Costed 90-day roadmap
Phased: Foundations · Activation · Scale.
AI assistant on your data
Sourced answers across your CRM, drive and knowledge base.
Vendor-neutral picks
What to buy, what to skip, what you already have a licence for.
Most people I meet aren’t looking for “AI transformation”. They just want a steady hand.
You’ve probably tried a couple of tools, watched a few videos, and you’re wondering what’s actually worth your time. That’s where I come in. We start small, pick one or two things that genuinely move the needle for your business, and grow from there — at your pace.
If you’re a bigger team, that’s fine too — the same calm, practical approach scales up.
A taste of what’s possible
Small, sensible wins — not sci-fi
A few of the things we usually find in the first conversation.
Stop drowning in inbox admin
Drafted replies, smart triage, and short summaries of long threads — so you stay in control without losing your evenings.
Get the boring docs done faster
Quotes, proposals, suitability letters, reports — pulled together from your own info, in your tone of voice.
Find answers in your own files
Ask questions across your CRM, drive or knowledge base in plain English — and get sourced answers, not guesswork.
Quietly automate the repetitive bits
The little copy-paste jobs that eat hours a week. Small, safe automations that your team will actually use.
How it works
Four easy steps. No homework.
We talk
A 20-minute Fit Call. You tell me what your week looks like and we both check there’s a match.
I take a look
I dig in a little — your tools, your bottlenecks — and pick out the ideas with the best return for the least disruption.
You get a plan
A short, plain-English roadmap you can actually use, with what to try first and what to leave alone.
I implement (if you want)
Optional, never assumed. If a recommendation needs hands-on work, I can build it for you — or hand the plan to your team. No obligation either way.
