How a project runs

Three stages. You can stop after any of them, and you keep what’s been built.

1 Workflow review

1 to 2 days

What happens

I spend time with the people who do the work and watch it happen. I look at the files, the systems, and the workarounds people use when the systems don’t fit.

What you get

A short written plan: the first thing worth building, what it needs, how to measure it, and what it will cost.

What I need from you

A couple of hours with the people involved, and sample files. They don’t leave your building.

What it costs

Fixed price, from £750. Agreed before I start.

2 Pilot

2 to 4 weeks

What happens

I build a working version on your own records, and one team uses it for real. I check in weekly and change it based on what they find.

What you get

A working tool, a before-and-after measure, and a clear decision: keep it, change it, or stop.

What I need from you

One team willing to try it, and someone who can say yes or no.

What it costs

Quoted for the size of the job, from a few thousand pounds.

3 Run it

Monthly

What happens

Training, handover and support. I keep the models and software up to date and fix what breaks.

What you get

A tool your team uses, written instructions, and a named person to call.

What I need from you

Access to the machine when an update is due.

What it costs

From a few hundred pounds a month, depending on what’s covered.

How pricing works

I quote for the job, not by the hour. After the review you get a fixed price for the pilot, based on what it actually involves, so there are no surprises.

The first 30-minute call is free, and so is my honest view on whether AI is the right fix.
