You bring the task and information
A sponsor, source owner and reviewer, a small approved document collection or export, and representative questions or cases.
Services
Your data. A connected AI foundation. Useful applications.
I help you choose a useful first problem, connect the information it needs and build the AI foundation and web tools around it. The work can start with one team, one task and an agreed set of sources.

Your first paid step
One task. A scoped discovery. A clear decision.
Choose one team and one recurring information problem. Before work starts, agree the sources, deliverables, fee and delivery dates. Receive a recommendation you can act on before committing to a build.
You receive a practical discovery pack
A workflow and source/access map, readiness findings, sample output, acceptance checks and the requirements for a first application.
You decide whether to build
Review a scoped build proposal with costs and dependencies, use an existing tool, improve the source information first, or stop.
The discovery fee is agreed in advance for the defined scope. A build, production connections, hosting, AI usage and ongoing support are priced and agreed separately. Sessions and reviews take place online.
