Offerings

Packages that end pilot purgatory.

Guide prices from £5,000–£25,000 for core packages. Excluding VAT if applicable. Confirm scope and fee in writing. You get named artefacts, automations, insights, actions, and 1:1 support you can run. No invented ROI claims.

External picture: McKinsey’s State of AI 2025 shows widespread use with scarce high EBIT impact. Gartner’s April 2026 I&O survey finds only 28 percent of AI use cases fully succeed against ROI expectations. Your package should answer who owns risk and how you prove value beyond seat counts. (McKinsey · Gartner)

What you get in week 1

Owners. Baselines. Actions.

Every core package starts the same way. You leave week 1 with named owners for risk and value, a first baseline (cost, licences, open controls), and a short action list tied to Wave 0 panes. Artefacts have names so scope stays testable.

EXAMPLE · Illustrative

Regional professional services (~180 people)

Foundation path. Week 1 named a Security owner and froze a value case around proposal drafting. Idle-seat reclaim runbook cut shelfware before the next renewal. Literacy plan covered one cohort only. No invented ROI. Outcome tracked as active use and reclaim counts.

EXAMPLE · Illustrative

Mid-market manufacturer (~900 people)

Operate path. Overshare remediation list cleared two hotspots before agent pilots. AI register template plus DPIA triggers sat with GRC. Counsel held Guardian at 4 until the Steady baseline held. Measure plane: licences versus weekly-active, plus a first value reconcile.

EXAMPLE · Illustrative

Multi-site regulated group (2,000+)

Scale path. Seat spray paused. Evidence pack outline mapped to existing standards bridges. Board narrative used Cost and Value and GRC in one window. Pathfinder stayed bounded with kill criteria at day 45. Figures above are pattern sketches, not client logos or claimed savings.
