Services

Pragmatic AI, data and engineering leadership for regulated businesses.

AI Readiness & Strategy Audit

Don't jump blindly into AI. We assess your stack, data and workflows to pinpoint where AI will actually drive ROI - and where it is just hype.

  • Data infrastructure and readiness assessment
  • Tool evaluation: LLMs, copilots, internal AI agents
  • Security, privacy and compliance review
  • Step-by-step AI implementation roadmap

Data & Retrieval Readiness for AI

Most AI projects die on data plumbing. We design the retrieval and knowledge layer - canonical models, RAG and GraphRAG, vector stores and evaluation sets - grounded in your regulated reality.

  • RAG and GraphRAG PoCs with rigorous evaluation sets
  • Vector store and knowledge base selection (Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB, Neptune, MongoDB)
  • Data contracts, lineage and governance for AI consumption
  • Enterprise data architecture: canonical, Data Vault, dimensional

AI Agent & Workflow Automation

Build AI agents that actually do work - triage tickets, draft documents, query systems, escalate decisions. Designed for production, not demos.

  • Process mining and high-ROI use case selection
  • Tool-using agents wired into CRM, ticketing, docs, data platforms
  • Evaluation harness and guardrails before launch

Technical Architecture & Advisory

One-off, fixed-scope architecture reviews for teams that need a senior second opinion - without committing to a retainer.

  • Cloud architecture reviews across Azure, AWS and GCP
  • Scalability, security and cost optimisation
  • Architecture Decision Records and standards

Custom Solution Prototyping

Before committing large budgets, validate your concept. We build rapid technical Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to test feasibility and user value.

  • Feasibility-first technical PoCs
  • User-value tests before scale spend
  • Clear go / no-go recommendations

Fractional CTO / Head of AI

Senior technical leadership on tap. 20+ years of data and platform architecture across insurance, banking and investment management - available one to two days a week.

  • Board-level reporting and roadmap ownership
  • Hiring loop for AI and data engineering talent
  • Architecture standards and vendor / build-vs-buy calls
