Book a callFind your friction

You didn't start your business
to spend your days doing admin.

Somewhere between building the business and running it, the running took over.
‍
The problem isn't the effort, you already have plenty of that - the problem is friction. We are UK-based AI and automation consultants, and most of it is fixable.
‍
It is fixable not with big expensive transformation projects, but by finding the specific places where your business is leaking time and fixing them properly.
AI & AUTOMATION CONSULTANTS FOR UK SMALL BUSINESSES

What AI can do, in plain English.

You don't need to know what to buy or become an expert in AI, what you need to know is what's worth fixing first. We apply AI only where it removes real friction and works with the tools you already have.

How it works

Three stages. Each one builds on the last.

How it works. Don't start with the technology, start with your business. Find the friction that's stealing your time, remove it, then keep working so nothing steals it back.
Stage 01
Clarity.
You'll know exactly what's costing you the most and what fixing it would actually mean.
The Find session
£1,000 – £1,500
Fixed price. Yours to keep whether you go further or not.
Stage 02
Relief.
The specific thing that's costing you the most is gone. Working, live, in your business.
The Fix build
From £1,500
Per solution. Scoped from Find so nothing is guesswork.
Stage 03
Progress.
Every month your business runs a little better than the month before.
‍
The Keep service
From £2,000/month
Less than £65 a day. Not a retainer — continuous delivery.
Not every client starts at Find.
If you already know what you want to Fix, we can start there.

Client story

What changes when the admin disappears.

Jimmy runs four YouTube channels covering Sheffield United and all things football. Every live show ended the same way, the adrenaline dropped and the real work began.

Clipping, updating, posting, checking: all of it manual, and all of it at the moment he had the least left to give.
We mapped where his time was going. Then we removed it.

"The part of my day that was costing the most energy now costs almost nothing."

Why your leads go cold: what to fix before you spend anything on marketing
Leads go cold because the follow-up depends on someone remembering to do it, and remembering loses to a busy week every single time, which means the problem is not the quality of the lead but the absence of any system to make sure someone follows up regardless of how busy things get.

AI data quality is not a data science problem for your business. It is an operational one.
AI data quality in a small business is not a technical problem but an operational one, rooted in how records actually get maintained, how status fields get interpreted by different people, and whether the data the AI will be asked to use means what the business thinks it means.

Why AI projects fail before any tool is chosen: the missing diagnosis step
Most AI projects in small businesses fail because they skip the diagnosis — jumping to tools and builds before anyone has mapped where the business is actually losing time, what is causing it, and whether AI is even the right solution for that specific problem.

Our promise

What you can expect from us.

No pitch on the first call.
No proposal until you ask for one.
No solution until we understand your business.
If the Find session doesn't give you something genuinely useful, we'll say so.
The bottom line

Less firefighting.
More of what you started this for.

We find where your business is leaking time and energy. We fix the thing that's costing the most.

Then we stay, so that every month it runs a little better than the month before.

Before you speak to anyone about AI, including us, watch this video.
We don't sell AI.
We sell your time back.
