with the founder.

Engagement Models

Four ways to work together.

01  ·  Foundation Readiness Assessment
Know where you stand before you commit budget.
A fixed-scope, four-to-six-week diagnostic of your asset data, governance and organisational readiness, delivered as a board-ready report with a costed, sequenced roadmap. The right first step before any AI investment decision.
02  ·  Board & Executive Advisory
Honest counsel before the capital is committed.
Ongoing counsel for leadership teams navigating AI adoption in regulated environments: monthly cadence, direct access, honest answers before the budget is committed and before the technology is procured.
03  ·  Interim & Fractional Leadership
Senior capability, embedded for a defined period.
Head of asset intelligence, data governance lead, or EAM programme director, embedded in your team for a defined period. Active SC clearance means no vetting queue on Defence and Government programmes.
04  ·  Associate & Bid Support
Domain depth for consultancies and integrators.
Cleared, senior EAM and IWMS capability across IBM Maximo, TRIRIGA, Archibus, Planon and SAP PM for firms that need domain depth on Defence and Government pursuits and delivery.
