Why us
Including when you should pick someone else
Every alternative below is genuinely better than us for some situations. Knowing which situation you are in is more useful than a page of superlatives.
The honest comparison
Your alternatives, fairly described
A specialist AI consultancy
Better than us when
You have a strong internal platform team and only need model expertise, or you need a research-grade capability we do not have.
Weaker when
The project needs deployment, monitoring and on-call. Most stall exactly there — the model works and nobody owns everything around it.
An offshore development shop
Better than us when
You have a fully specified backlog, your own architects, and you mainly need throughput at a low day rate.
Weaker when
The requirement is ambiguous, or the work needs someone to say 'this should not be built'. Staff-augmentation models are not structured to push back.
Hiring in-house
Better than us when
AI or platform capability is core to your product, and the volume of work justifies a permanent team. Then hire — we will tell you so.
Weaker when
You need something running in eight weeks. A platform hire takes three to six months to find and gives you no 24x7 coverage on day one.
An off-the-shelf SaaS tool
Better than us when
A product already does your job. Buy it. We will point you at it rather than quote you a build.
Weaker when
The process is specific to how your business works, spans systems no vendor integrates with, or the data cannot leave your environment.
A big-four consultancy
Better than us when
You need board-level air cover, multi-country programme management, or a name your risk committee already knows.
Weaker when
You want the people who scoped it to be the people who build it. Their model is partners selling and juniors delivering.
What is actually different
Six things, each of which we can show you
Claims worth making are claims you can check. Ask us to demonstrate any of these on the call.
AI engineering and infrastructure from one team
Not two vendors you mediate between. The people who build the automation carry the pager for it.
An evaluation suite before a demo
Accuracy is a number in CI, not an impression in a meeting. It is also what lets your team maintain the system after we leave.
Published prices
You can find out what things cost without a discovery call. Fixed-scope work is genuinely fixed, and we re-quote rather than absorb a surprise quietly.
Cost per successful task, instrumented
Not cost per token. It is the only figure that shows whether an automation is actually economic, and we have killed our own proposals on it.
Your cloud, your code, your IP
Deployed in your account. Handed over with documentation. Exit assistance is contractual rather than a negotiation.
We will tell you not to do it
About a third of our audits conclude AI is not the highest-return action, and those findings go at the front of the report.
The clearest test of most of this is the two-week audit. Fixed price, credited against a build, and it will tell you plainly whether there is anything here worth doing.
Fair questions
Things worth asking us
Test the claim rather than the pitch
Bring the process you would automate first. Thirty minutes will tell you more about whether we are the right fit than any page on this site.
