ABR / consulting
AI consulting.
Most teams do not need more AI ideas. They need someone to say which one is worth building, what it costs, and what to skip. Discovery ends with that call made, priced and in writing.
Done by hand, the same steps fill most of a working week. That is the part we take, and your people keep the decisions.
It drafts. Your person still does the job.
Follows the path, then stops the second something does not match.
Finishes the job, and only brings you what your rules say it should.
The third one is all we build.
Straight answers before you spend.
Every idea that lands on our desk gets a plain-words verdict:
An assistant that drafts replies to every email
build something elseThe hours live in the approvals queue behind the inbox, and that is a different build.
Automating a workflow that changes every quarter
build it laterStabilise the rules first, then hand the work to an agent.
Invoice matching against purchase orders
build it nowThe rules are written down and the hours are real.
What discovery hands you
A short scope with one fixed price. If the return is not there, the plan says so.
Fixed fee, quoted on the first call. What build and run will cost.

Quoting and estimating
What triggers it
An enquiry lands, by email or through the website form. The agent owns everything from that moment to the quote leaving the building.
The steps it owns
- 1Reads the enquiry and pulls the specification.
- 2Prices it off your current rate card.
- 3Checks stock and lead time in the ERP.
- 4Builds the quote and sends it, inside your rules.
- 5Writes every step to the record as it runs.
a sample build plan · the plan is yours to keep, whether or not you build it with us
The consultants who scope your build work alongside the engineers who ship it.
You will not sit through a 200-slide diagnostic, and nobody here bills by the day.
Senior people do the work. Whoever runs your discovery stays to the end.
We operate what we recommend. Advice arrives with a build price and a running plan attached.
A second opinion is a real engagement. If someone has pitched you an AI build, we will tell you what it should cost.
