Focused engagements.
Measurable outcomes.

Fixed scope. Time-boxed. Tied to outcomes you can defend to your board, your regulator, and your CFO. No open-ended consulting mandates.

The entry point
New service

Private AI Counsel.

The AI conversation you cannot have with your own team. A confidential, one-on-one advisory session for senior executives navigating AI decisions — without an agenda beyond your specific challenge.

Whether you are preparing for a board AI presentation, stress-testing a vendor recommendation, or simply trying to understand what your CIO is telling you — this is the conversation that happens before the meeting that matters.

What we cover
01
Your AI strategy
Is it board-defensible? Does it survive a challenge from your Chief Risk Officer or an external auditor?
02
Your vendor landscape
Who is overselling and who is underdelivering? Which claims are credible and which are not?
03
Your board presentation
What will they ask and how do you answer? Where are the gaps in your current narrative?
04
Your team's AI readiness
Where are the real capability gaps? What should you build, buy, or partner for?
05
Your next decision
The one you need to make in the next 90 days — with clear reasoning, not just options.
Strategy

AI Direction Sprint

For leaders who need a board-defensible AI strategy but are currently stuck in vague ambitions, competing priorities, or a board demanding answers they cannot yet give.

2–3 weeks · Fixed scope
AI Clarity Conversation
What you leave with
  • Strategic clarity — AI ambition and principles that your leadership team can actually align behind
  • Prioritised portfolio — A "First 90 Days" implementation plan with sequenced, funded use cases
  • Decision rights framework — Clarity on what IT owns, what the business owns, and where the governance sits
  • Board-ready narrative — The document your board will read and the answers to the questions they will ask
Recovery

AI Turnaround

For teams stuck in the Pilot Trap — AI investments that work in the lab but never reach production, with low adoption, invisible ROI, and a board losing patience.

3–6 weeks · Fixed scope
AI Clarity Conversation
What you leave with
  • Rapid diagnosis — The precise reason value is not landing — not a generic assessment, a specific finding
  • Kill / Fix / Scale decisions — An honest verdict on each current initiative with the rationale documented
  • Adoption reset — A leadership narrative that repositions AI as an asset rather than a threat to your team
  • Recovery roadmap — A sequenced path from current state to measurable production value in 90 days
Scaling

AI Orchestration

For organisations that have proven AI in pockets but cannot scale it — fragmented initiatives, duplicated costs, no central logic, and no operating model to make success repeatable.

6–10 weeks · Fixed scope
AI Clarity Conversation
What you leave with
  • Orchestrated roadmap — A 12-month implementation path with dependencies, owners, and milestone definitions
  • AI operating system — Governance structure, decision rights, and KPI framework that makes success repeatable
  • Human capital roadmap — The capability-building and change management plan to move your organisation with the technology
  • Portfolio rationalisation — A consolidated, coherent initiative portfolio — no duplication, no strategic gaps
Execution

Architectural Stewardship

For organisations ready to embed AI as a permanent enterprise capability — requiring an independent Transformation Architect who governs vendor delivery and ensures every deployment anchors AI as a proprietary strategic asset.

6–12 months · Retainer · Limited availability
AI Clarity Conversation
What this looks like
  • Embedded governance — Present in key vendor sessions, architecture reviews, and programme board meetings
  • Vendor independence — A permanent counterweight to vendor pressure — no allegiances, no reseller fees
  • Architectural oversight — Every technical decision reviewed against your long-term sovereignty and compliance requirements
  • Board-level reporting — Quarterly AI programme status in language your board can understand and act on
Venture Building

Venture Builder

Two distinct tracks. One operating model. Whether you are a founder moving from idea to MVP, or an established organisation launching an AI-enabled product — the Steward acts as your Venture CTO.

Corporate track

For mid-size and large organisations launching an AI-enabled disruption. No internal R&D function required.

12–24 weeks · Retainer
Founder track

For independent founders moving from idea to MVP. Sovereign architecture from Day 1.

8–12 weeks · Fixed scope
AI Clarity Conversation
What the Steward does as Venture CTO
  • Strategic framing — Challenges the vision, defines the proprietary moat, identifies AI value levers.
  • Sovereign architecture — Designs the execution environment. You own your IP, your data, and your model weights from Day 1.
  • Team constitution & leadership — Gathers the delivery team, defines hiring criteria, leads and governs execution as Venture CTO.
  • Delivery to MVP — Orchestrates the build, manages third-party delivery partners, delivers a production-ready MVP.
  • Go-to-market stewardship — Governs the regulatory approval timeline, distribution partnerships, and scaling architecture.
