What we do
A factory floor.
A consulting desk.
And a lab behind both.
Most firms in this market pick one. An advisory that never ships, or a build shop that never asked whether the thing should exist. We run all three, deliberately — and the lab is what keeps the other two ahead of the rulebook rather than behind it.
Why three and not one
The advice is worth more when the same people have to build it.
A recommendation nobody has to implement drifts. A build nobody questioned gets made anyway. Keeping the Consulting Desk and the Factory Floor inside one firm means the person writing the roadmap knows they will be handed it back — and the person writing the code was in the room when the decision was argued.
The AI Lab is the third leg, and it is not marketing. It exists because the questions our clients face arrive before the rulebook does: what adequate adversarial testing means under Article 9, how you govern an agent that does not wait for a human, what a carbon claim has to look like to survive a challenge in five years. We answer those on our own time, publish the method, and sell the work.
The three desks
Pick the one that matches where you actually are.
If you know what you want built, start at the Factory Floor. If the decision is still open, start at the Consulting Desk — and it is allowed to end in “not this year”. If nobody has an answer yet, that is a Lab question.
Build it
Factory Floor
Four classes of system: production LLM systems with evals, governed multi-agent workforces, decision-support tooling, and model evaluation and red-teaming infrastructure. Every one leaves a running system and the evidence behind it.
Decide it
Consulting Desk
Seven advisory services, from a scored opportunity portfolio to a governance and assurance layer mapped to the obligations you are actually under. Each names its method, its gate, and the artefact you hold at the end.
Research it
AI Lab
Red-teaming under Article 9, governance models for agentic AI, ISO 42001 pathways, six prototypes documented as they run — and the four industries we chose by consequence rather than by attractiveness.
What the three desks share
The same discipline does the work, whichever door you arrive at.
Two founders sign the engagement and direct a governed AI workforce. A review gate, an integration gate and a human decision sit between the work and you. Nothing is deployed, published or purchased by an agent.
A named owner
The founder who signs is UK-based and carries it end to end. No account managers, no handoff to a delivery team you never met.
Evidence on every claim
Verified, Built, Designed or Intended — the four words we hand back instead of “should work”.
A price before we start
Fixed fee on every fixed-scope engagement, quoted in writing. Rolling engagements carry 30 days’ notice on both sides.
A written exit
Every shape publishes what it will not do, and a rollback plan written down before the work starts.
How the desks hand off
Most engagements cross more than one.
A typical route: the Consulting Desk answers whether the thing is worth doing, the Factory Floor builds it, and the Lab is where the part nobody has solved gets solved first. You are never obliged to take the next step — but the handoff is designed, not improvised.
The decision arrives first
An Advisory Sprint takes one decision, fixed fee, no code — an opportunity portfolio, a readiness position, a roadmap, or an estate review of the AI you already run.
The question gets tested before it gets funded
A Feasibility Sprint produces a proof of concept against an agreed evals harness. A written “don’t build this” is a completed engagement.
Then it gets built properly
The Factory Floor takes it to production quality under a Production Build — failure-mode analysis from day one, evals in CI, monitoring tied to business impact, rollback written first.
And it keeps running without us
Team Enablement leaves the discipline inside your team; a Lab Retainer buys standing capacity; governance and assurance makes it defensible a year later.
Tell us the decision, not the deliverable.
Thirty minutes with a founder. No sales deck, NDA available beforehand. We will tell you which desk answers your question — including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
