See how we deliver

20+ years

Building enterprise data & AI — well before the current hype cycle

In production

AI live in national public services and regulated industries

Enterprise-led

Founded by former Chief Data & AI Officers from global enterprises

Decades of doing this — not discovering it

Our team has built and run data and AI at scale inside some of the world's most demanding organisations. We're not learning on your project.

Enterprise data & AI leaders

Former Chief Data & AI Officers and Heads of Data Science from global media, assessment, and publishing businesses — people who have owned the outcomes, not just advised on them.

AI in regulated, high-stakes settings

Production AI serving national public services and safety-critical industries — where governance, accuracy, and trust are non-negotiable, not afterthoughts.

Operators who've built businesses

Founders and leaders who have scaled and exited enterprise technology businesses — so we understand commercial reality, not just the technology.

Proven in production, not in slideware

Real AI, live in demanding environments — for organisations that hold us to the highest bar.

Safety-critical biometric AI

Built and deployed driver-health AI that interprets biometric signals in real time — production-grade accuracy where mistakes carry real-world consequences.

Citizen-facing public sector AI

Delivered citizen-first AI for NHS 24 and the Scottish Government — held to the highest bar for transparency, fairness, and public accountability.

Chosen over building in-house

Thoughtworks — a global technology consultancy — chose our conversational AI search over building their own. Proof the work stands up to the most technical buyers.

Recognised for responsible AI

The first external company on the Scottish AI Register — independent validation that our governance is real, not marketing.

95%

of enterprise AI pilots never deliver measurable returns.

MIT, 2025

They stall in the gap between strategy and delivery. We close that gap — picking the bets that pay and standing them up on proven foundations, so AI reaches production and stays there.

Senior people who deliver

Senior operators, embedded with your team

Every engagement is led by people who have done this before, inside organisations like yours. Not a deck from a partner you never see again. Not a junior team learning on your budget. Senior operators who build alongside your people and leave the knowledge behind.
