What happens next

  1. Tell us the role, or the problem

    Same working day

  2. Scope, or a shortlist

    Two working days

  3. Start, with someone accountable

    Weeks, not quarters

  4. Ongoing review, not a handover

    Every month it runs

Where the constraint is technical

“Deep in your industry, not just your stack.”

ManufacturingSurface-defect detection on the production lineCamera-based quality inspection that finds and classifies surface defects at pixel precision, at line speed.ManufacturingRemaining useful life for rotating machinerySensor-driven prognostics that say how many cycles a machine has left, so maintenance is scheduled by condition rather than calendar.Financial servicesCredit scoring for thin-file applicantsDefault-risk models built from relational behavioural data, with the reason codes a regulated lender has to produce.Financial servicesPayments fraud detection with entity resolutionFraud scoring that first works out who is transacting — because fraud is a property of the actor, not the transaction.HealthcareImaging triage for screening programmesDICOM-native models that re-order the reading worklist, so scarce radiologist attention lands on the studies most likely to matter.HealthcareMechanism-of-action prediction for drug discoveryMulti-label models over gene-expression signatures that shortlist how a compound acts — narrowing wet-lab work before it is paid for.SaaS & technologyChurn prediction with named driversRetention models that say who is leaving and why — so retention spend targets the persuadable instead of the already-lost.SaaS & technologyReal-time recommendations for anonymous sessionsTwo-stage recommenders that personalise from the current session alone — the case that matters, because most traffic is not logged in.Professional servicesRetrieval-augmented answers over private archivesOn-premise RAG that answers from your documents with citations — built for firms whose archive cannot leave the building.Professional servicesSemantic matching and deduplication at archive scaleModels that recognise when two documents say the same thing — the quiet capability behind clean knowledge bases and find-the-precedent search.Public sectorEnergy baselines for building portfoliosCounterfactual consumption models that make retrofit savings measurable — the arithmetic pay-for-performance programmes stand on.Public sectorRoad-safety analytics at network scaleSeverity modelling and hotspot analysis over millions of incident records — evidence for where the next crore of road-safety spend goes.

Testimonials

They came back and told us the assessment would show we did not need the platform we had budgeted for. That call cost them the bigger project and is exactly why we kept working with them.
Priya RamanCTO, Northwind LogisticsAI readiness assessment
The architecture review named three decisions we would not be able to reverse cheaply. Two of them we had already made. Better to hear it in week two than in month nine.
Daniel OkaforVP Engineering, HarborlineArchitecture review
Four candidates, each with written evidence per competency, and they argued for the one we would not have shortlisted ourselves. She is now the strongest engineer on the team.
Marta LindqvistHead of Engineering, Aperture HealthPermanent placement
We inherited a codebase nobody would sign off on. The due diligence gave us a number for fixing it and a number for living with it, which is what the board actually needed.
James WhitfieldCTO, LedgerpointTechnical due diligence
Two engineers embedded in our sprints inside a month. Three quarters on, both are still here and neither has been swapped out — which is not what we had come to expect from offshore.
