HOW IT WORKS

Our playbook:
advise, then build

A repeatable path from the right AI bet to value in production — in weeks, not quarters.

The FireBreak Playbook

Five steps, run as a cycle. We start by advising on the bets that pay, then build them on proven foundations — and repeat for the next use case.

Advise

Step 1

Prioritise

We pinpoint the few AI bets that move growth and margin — and park the ones that won't.

Advise

Step 2

Speed to value

We map the fastest path to a result, so you see impact in weeks rather than waiting on a year-long programme.

Build

Step 3

Engineer the data

We connect, clean and reconcile your data to one trusted view — the foundation every accelerator runs on.

Build

Step 4

Apply accelerators

We deploy proven AI Accelerators — 80% pre-built — and our Architects tailor the last 20% to you.

Build

Step 5

Prove value

We measure the outcome against the goal set up front — then start the cycle again on the next bet.

Each cycle compounds. Every accelerator we deploy makes the next one faster.

Step 3 · Build

Engineer the data

AI is only as good as the data beneath it. We connect to your existing systems and reconcile conflicts into one trusted view — before any accelerator goes live.

Finance Systems

SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks

Operations & ERP

Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, ServiceNow

Documents & Files

Invoices, contracts, policies, spreadsheets

Custom Sources

REST APIs, databases, data warehouses

What we check

Duplicate invoices3.2% flagged
Vendor pricing drift12 suppliers
Missing approvals8 transactions
Intercompany imbalances2 entities

Feed AI bad data and it scales the mess. We reconcile it to one truth first.

Step 4 · Build

Apply our AI Accelerators

Four proven capabilities, already built, tested and run live. We adapt them to your business instead of building from scratch — so you skip the years of trial and error.

Conversational AI search

Ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in your own data — no waiting on analysts.

“Why did the number move since last month?”

“What does this contract clause actually mean?”

“Where's our policy on this?”

Data analytics

Surface the outlier in seconds. Budget drift, vendor leakage and compliance gaps, spotted before they cost you.

“Where are we about to overspend?”

“Which suppliers cost more than they should?”

“What transaction doesn't belong?”

Predictive AI

See what's coming. Forecast demand, predict churn and flag risk early — so you act before competitors do.

“Which customers are about to leave?”

“Where's the next supply bottleneck?”

“What will next quarter look like?”

Workflows

Let agents handle the routine. Approvals, follow-ups, reconciliations and reporting run themselves.

“Who needs to sign this off?”

“Where are we waiting on suppliers?”

“Did the numbers tie this month?”

The last 20%
