Bootstrap. Align. Shape. Evolve.
We mapped your AI journey to 4 key stages, based on years of experience supporting enterprises through their transformation initiatives. Your people, AI platform, internal process, and AI agent portfolio will each follow these four stages at a different pace. Together, they’ll lead your organisation to a successful AI programme. The goal of this journey is not to get you to a place where you can claim your business is AI-driven, but to ensure you apply AI where it makes sense, both financially and operationally.
Bootstrap
Bootstrap is your way in. At this stage, you’re not looking to create a backlog or a roadmap (you’ll do that in the next stage), but rather to build real, hands-on understanding of what AI can and cannot do inside your organisation. You want to get the creative juices flowing, and empower people inside the organisation who can carry that understanding forward on their own.
Agentic AI hackathon
- People
A short, fixed-timeframe engagement for cross-functional teams, run against either one of your own use cases or an external, learning-only one created by us. The structure adapts to you, but the goal is always the same: ensure participants gain real hands-on knowledge not just theoretical understanding.

The AI Resource Library
The reading list we would give a new champion on day one: everything worth knowing about applying AI in an enterprise, curated, summarised and sorted by who it is for.
Align
Align turns awareness into direction. Rather than open-ended strategy decks that nobody follows, it is delivered as a set of pre-defined engagements. These are fixed in scope, so they are straightforward to price and to say yes to. More importantly, they allow you to measure the value quickly, rather than wait years to conclude that AI might not be the right thing for your business.
Use case prioritisation
- Portfolio
A time-boxed exercise to collect use cases from across your organisation, assess them technically, score them, and create a roadmap you can use to determine budgets, resources, and to set delivery expectations. We do this in a very interactive way, allowing your team to pitch and own their ideas, so once you decide what gets built, you already have the people that will own the products.

EU AI Act assessment
- Process
A short, fixed-scope screening of your AI use cases against the EU AI Act. For each one we record the role you play, whether anything in it is prohibited, whether it could be high-risk and whether the transparency rules apply, each with the provision that decides it and a named owner. Where the law is genuinely unclear, it goes on a list of questions for your counsel.

The AI Template Library
Working documents for governing AI in a European enterprise: policies, assessments, registers and disclosure wording, drawn from real delivery and yours to put your own name on.
Shape
Shape is where scoped ideas become production agents and use cases. We build from (and contribute back to) a growing library of building blocks, rather than approach every use case as a blank canvas. This is the stage most organisations never reach on their own because they haven’t done the groundwork we did in Bootstrap and Align.
Design & build sprint
- Portfolio
This is an individually scoped sprint for a single, well-defined use case. We tap into our library of reusable building blocks (if those can be applied to your business) rather than start from scratch. In addition, we typically ask that your team is part of the building exercise because our goal is not to run these sprints for you forever, but rather create patterns you can reuse internally.

Building with AXA
AXA’s Cloud Business Unit went from a hackathon to two agents in production, three months after the idea stage, built in modules so that each new use case ships faster than the last.
Evolve
Evolve is what happens once the capability is real and once the value has been proven. We deliver this as consulting, primarily on retainer, with bespoke engagements as new needs and challenges arise. This is where we cover portfolio scaling, advanced governance topics, and continued upskilling as the organisation matures.
Enterprise agentic platform
- Platform
Once several agents are live, running them becomes its own problem. We design and build the shared components every agent plugs into: observability and token costs, guardrails, agent security and evaluations. You choose which areas to build, and we build them one at a time alongside your platform team, handing each one over as it is finished.

Governance programme design
- Process
Most AI governance lives in documents that nobody building an agent ever reads, so we design a programme that works the other way round. We map the AI your organisation really uses (including the tools nobody announced), turn the rules that apply to you into plain instructions for the people building, and connect each rule to a guardrail or an access policy in the cloud where your agents run. The result is governance you can see working, rather than governance you can only point to.

Our partnership with VerifyWise
VerifyWise keeps a register of every AI system you run, scores its risk and holds the evidence an auditor will ask for. We partner with them so the governance programmes we design have the right technical platform to live on.
Parts of your business will be at different stages.
Organisations are not uniform in their AI adoption, and will excel in some areas, while others might need more work. For example, you might be doing well in training your workforce, while struggling to create an AI platform to support their creativity and ideas.
This is normal, and that’s why we’re not selling you an abstract AI strategy that nobody owns, or agents that nobody asked for. We work with you to progress your entire organisation through the BASE stages of maturity.
Not sure which stage you are at?
Most organisations and teams do not map to a single maturity stage. Tell us what you have running and what has stalled, and we will tell you what the next step is to progress your agenda, whether that is one of the engagements above or one we shape around you.
