Services
We help you decide whether a digital solution, such as AI or IoT, is right for your business and what it would bring. If it is, we build it.
How an engagement runs
Assess
One week
We review your data, systems and security, then write a short brief on what is worth building. It is yours to keep.
Build
Four to twelve weeks
A small team builds the smallest system that works properly, in your own code repository from day one.
Hand over
Your choice
We train your team to run the system, or we run it for you on a fixed monthly retainer. There is no lock-in.
Four areas of work
All four are backed by the same funded research, and each ends in a working system.
AI Agents & Chatbots
Assistants that connect to your own systems, so they can book, search, answer and pass difficult cases to a person.
AI Automation
We find the repetitive manual work an LLM can handle safely, then build the smallest system that does it reliably.
Agentic Engineering
For problems too big for a single agent: several agents working together over your private data, with testing and monitoring.
Cybersecurity
Threat modelling, secure system design, penetration testing and security training that end in a hardened, working system.
Our approach
Open models, on your terms
We build on open-weight models by default, because they keep costs down and can run where your data already lives. We look at your requirements first and recommend where the model should run. If a frontier model suits the job better, we can build on that instead.
Cost-effective
Most open-weight models are free to use, including commercially. You pay for the hardware or hosting they run on, with no licence or per-seat fees.
Secure
We support self-hosted, on-premises and cloud-based deployment, behind your existing access controls and with audit logging from the start.
Privacy-aware
When the model runs inside your environment, prompts and documents are not sent to an outside AI provider.
Your environment
Nothing leaves your environment. No licence fee for the model.
Your environment
Provider
Prompts and documents cross to the provider. Billed per use.
| Open-weight, your environment | Hosted frontier model | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Usually no licence fee. You pay for hardware or hosting. | Billed per use, and generally more expensive. |
| Where your data goes | It stays on your servers or in your cloud account. | It is sent to the provider and handled under their terms. |
| Lock-in | Low. The model can be swapped or moved. | Higher. You depend on one provider’s pricing and changes. |
| Control | You decide which version runs and what is logged. | The provider decides when the model changes. |
| Who runs it | You do, or we do for you. It needs maintaining. | The provider does. |
| Best suited to | Sensitive data and cost-conscious projects. | Tasks that need the most capable models available. |
