Field Guide No.01
AI Implementation Playbook
Grounded in ISO/IEC 42001
A governance-first guide for SMEs adopting AI: where the real risk sits, what to document, and how to build an approach that survives a client or lender asking to see it.
Portfolio
The work, and the thinking behind it.
Two things live here: the frameworks and guides we publish, and the client engagements we are able to write up. We do not publish a case study without the client's sign-off, and we do not put a figure on this page that we cannot evidence.
Published work
Frameworks and field guides.
The methods we use in engagements, written up so you can judge the thinking before you commission any of it.
Framework
The Growth Diagnostic
Used in every Audit engagement
The structured review behind our two-week Audit: growth signals, drag points, leverage points, and the 90-day moves worth putting on a board agenda.
Framework
ESG Readiness Starter
For mid-market suppliers
A practical starting position for firms being asked for ESG evidence by buyers, lenders and procurement teams — scoped to what is actually being requested, not to a full reporting regime.
Client engagements
Case studies.
We are a young practice and we would rather show you nothing than show you something invented. Written case studies will appear here as engagements complete and clients approve them for publication.
In the meantime, the frameworks above are the actual method, and a discovery call will tell you more about fit than a polished write-up of someone else's business would.
Book a discovery callWhat you get
The shape of a piece of work.
Whatever the tier, an engagement runs the same way. You always know which step you are on and what is due next.
- 01
Discovery call
Twenty minutes. What you are trying to move, and whether we are the right people for it.
- 02
Proposal
Fixed scope, fixed fee, named outcomes and dates. No hourly billing, no open-ended retainers.
- 03
Kickoff
We agree the evidence we need, who owns what, and what "done" looks like in writing.
- 04
Delivery
Weekly checkpoints. Nothing is saved for a big reveal at the end.
- 05
Review
We measure against the outcomes we named, then ask for the referral if we earned it.
