What I do
Four groups. Thirteen ways in.
Independent digital and AI advice, organised by what you actually need next rather than by what I would like to sell. Only one of the four publishes prices, and that is deliberate.
Advise
4 servicesStrategic guidance for decisions you will have to live with. Scoped to the decision, not sold as a package.

2 servicesSelective implementation, accepted only when five published conditions are met. Advisory access is never used to win the build.
Explore Deliver »Real-world AI consulting
I have been using AI for over five years as a tool to complement what I do. I learnt the hard way how to use it well, and so can you.
Four pieces of AI work, in the order most organisations need them. None of them names a product I would profit from.
AI readiness assessment
Whether you are in any state to adopt AI at all, scored across data, governance, skills, process and infrastructure. Start here if that is in doubt.
AI opportunity audit
Where AI would genuinely reduce cost or risk, ranked by return. A short report, not a sales pitch for AI.
AI strategy and governance
Where AI belongs and in what order, and who approves it, what is never delegated to it, and how a board evidences oversight.
AI implementation sprint
One defined use case, built into your existing systems and handed to your team, under a published test that governs when I accept the work.
Case studies

Before you buy a review
What a digital audit costs
Four different things are sold under one name. The honest market range, including prices that are not mine.
For trustees
Charity and trustee technology guidance
Restricted funding, personal accountability and where AI genuinely helps, from the trustee side of the table.
Not theory
More than thirty years of real-world digital delivery.
I’ve been building digital systems since 1993; worked in digital agencies, worked client side, worked at board level across multiple sectors. Most AI consultants are tool-led and junior. I sit in the boardroom, understand the challenge, then go and build the solution myself.
