From AI enablement to sustained value creation.

We offer enablement + 3 engagement types, sold standalone or in phases, leaving every team more AI-native than it found them.

Foundations · Runs across all phases

AI-fluent teams, before any build.

Set the foundations so non-technical staff, engineers, and leadership all speak the same AI language. Most of our work lands harder when these are already in place.

  • Foundations: AI policy, governance, and responsible-use guardrails
  • Non-technical teams: 10x productivity, AI-native ways of working
  • Engineering teams: best-in-class full-stack AI engineers
  • Leadership: PE partners, operating partners, C-level

Three things.
Rarely found together.

Most AI firms are technical but don’t understand value creation. Most consultants understand value creation but lack AI expertise. We bring both, with proven playbooks for AI deployments tied to value creation.

Finance expertise.

Our co-founders come from J.P. Morgan, where they led trading, credit research, and asset management, and from Aurelius, a leading buy-and-build PE fund. We model EBITDA levers the way a finance team would, not the way an AI lab would.

AI expertise.

Our co-founders are recognised AI thought leaders with 200k+ followers and a best-selling book, Building LLMs for Production, used as a reference inside enterprise AI teams. 10,000+ copies sold.

Deployment expertise.

Our Towards AI Deployment practice ships custom systems through engineering pods, with strategists and leaders from Palantir, BCG, UBS, J.P. Morgan, Aurelius Growth Capital, and MILA. We know how AI lands in real organisations because we have been the people landing it.

Recent engagements.

Saved hours are capacity, not EBITDA. We count impact only when the operating plan changes.
