[03]Applied AI & Systems

AI &Scale

Automation, tooling, and systems that make the team faster without making the work worse. Applied AI where it earns its place, and an honest no where it does not.

01
4 to 10 weeks

Applied AI Integration

Chat, search, and support assistants wired into your site and trained on your content. Useful on day one, with guardrails so it stays that way.

Integration against the tools and data you already have, with evaluation and guardrails so output quality is a measured thing rather than an opinion.

A system whose output can be trusted, or whose failure mode is known.

Deliverables
  • Working through which processes are genuinely worth automating with AI, and which are cheaper and more reliable solved conventionally.

    You receive A ranked list of use cases with effort, risk and expected return for each.

  • Making your own documents answerable, with retrieval tuned so the model cites the right source instead of inventing something plausible.

    You receive A retrieval system over your content with sourcing and citations in the output.

  • Defining what a correct answer looks like, testing against it, and setting the limits for when the system should defer to a human.

    You receive An evaluation set, measured accuracy and documented guardrail behaviour.

  • Putting the system into real use and watching what it actually does in production, including the cases nobody predicted.

    You receive A launched system with monitoring, alerting and a review cadence.

3 to 8 weeks

Workflow Automation

The repetitive middle of your operations, handled by systems that do not sleep. Mapped first, automated second, always with a human checkpoint.

Removing the manual steps that slow your team down, with human review gates where judgement is genuinely required and none where it is not.

A process that runs without someone re-typing the same thing every week.

Deliverables
  • Documenting how the work actually happens today, including the unofficial steps nobody wrote down.

    You receive A current-state process map with the manual and duplicated steps flagged.

  • Connecting the systems that hold the data to the ones the work happens in, handling failures deliberately.

    You receive Working integrations with error handling and logging.

  • Deciding where a person must sign off and where they only need to be told. Over-confirmation trains people to click through.

    You receive Documented approval steps placed where judgement matters.

  • Writing down what to do when it breaks, at 2am, for whoever is on call.

    You receive A written runbook with failure modes and recovery steps.

03
2 to 5 weeks

Rapid Prototyping

Ideas you can click in days, so decisions happen on evidence instead of slides. Kill bad ideas cheap, double down on good ones early.

Testing whether an idea holds up before committing engineering time to it, with real users rather than internal opinion.

A decision backed by evidence instead of a confident opinion.

Deliverables
  • The flow made real enough that people can react to it, testing the idea before the cost of building it properly.

    You receive A working prototype covering the core flow, not the edge cases.

  • Writing what to ask and recruiting people who are actually in the situation, since testing with colleagues proves nothing.

    You receive A moderated test script and the recruited participant group.

  • What people did, not what they said they liked, with the friction ranked by how much it cost them.

    You receive A findings report with recordings, observations and prioritised issues.

  • Translating what was learned into what engineering should build, so the test does not evaporate at handover.

    You receive A specification handed to the build team with the validated assumptions marked.

5 to 10 weeks

Digital Product Design

Dashboards and tools your customers open daily without dread. Flows first, pixels second, tested with the people who will live in it.

Interfaces for products people use under real conditions, designed against the constraints of your data model rather than a portfolio-sized sample set.

Product screens that survive contact with real content and real users.

Deliverables
  • Mapping the flows including error and empty states, which are where most products quietly fall apart.

    You receive Flow diagrams and wireframes covering the happy path and the failure paths.

  • The interface components and layout rules, designed against your real data lengths rather than tidy placeholders.

    You receive A designed UI system with responsive behaviour specified.

  • A build of the real thing, connected to enough data that behaviour can be judged rather than imagined.

    You receive A working prototype with representative data loaded.

  • Specifications written so engineering can build without guessing, including the states and edge cases.

    You receive Annotated designs, a spec and a walkthrough session.

05
4 to 8 weeks

Design Systems

Tokens and components that keep every future page on-brand by default. Built with your team, documented for the team after us.

Component libraries with documented states, tokens and usage rules, so design and engineering stay in step without a meeting per change.

Your team ships consistently without calling a designer each time.

Deliverables
  • The single source for colour, type, spacing and radius, so a change propagates instead of being applied by hand.

    You receive A token set in a format your stack consumes directly.

  • Built components covering every state, including the ones nobody designs until something breaks in production.

    You receive A component library with documented variants and states.

  • When to use each component and when not to, which is the part that decides whether a system gets respected or abandoned.

    You receive Written usage guidance with do and do not examples.

  • How the system changes and who approves it, so it stays a shared tool rather than one person's project.

    You receive A contribution and approval process the team can actually follow.

06
Monthly

Support & Maintenance

Monitored, updated, and improved on a monthly rhythm. Nothing rots, nothing surprises you, and someone always picks up.

Performance watched, accessibility kept honest, and improvements shipped on a cadence, at a flat monthly fee rather than billing for surprises.

A site that gets sharper the longer it lives.

Deliverables
  • Watching for outages and slowdowns continuously, including the ones only visible from outside your network.

    You receive Monitoring with alerting and a record of incidents and response times.

  • Keeping dependencies patched and data backed up, tested by restoring rather than by assuming.

    You receive A documented update schedule and restore-tested backups.

  • A standing allocation each month for the improvements that matter most, rather than a queue of unpaid requests.

    You receive Improvements shipped monthly against an agreed priority list.

  • A short summary written for someone who does not care about jargon, covering what changed and what it did.

    You receive A monthly written report with no unexplained technical terms.
