Most AI budgets get spent on the wrong bets. We help you see the return in pounds and hours, so you fund the work that pays back and stop the work that won't.

Not because the technology fails — because no one agreed what "worth it" looked like before the money went out the door. We fix that first.
We turn "AI could help" into a number with a name against it — owned, tracked, and reported to senior leadership.
We score every AI opportunity on value, effort, and risk — so the first thing you fund is the thing most likely to return, not the thing that demos best.
Every recommendation comes with the cost to build, the expected saving or gain, and the payback period — the language your CFO and board already use.
The business case doesn't get filed and forgotten. We measure the actual return against the promise, so you know what worked and can double down with confidence.
Just as important as backing winners: we give you the evidence to stop a pilot that isn't paying, before it quietly consumes another year of budget.
What this looks like
"We had five AI ideas and budget for one. FireBreak scored them against real numbers and showed us the one that would pay back in seven months. We funded it, tracked it, and hit the case. The other four would have burned the year."
